Well R.I.P Kevin Wickes. Sorry but the scene where he was in the car breathing his last had me in fits. I think it was the cross eyes as he was fading. The bit on the slab was good acting though

I Think it was a disgusting thing to do - Fair enough Max was in the wrong but two wrongs DO NOT make a right....No matter how hurt she is.

She has been pretty stupid I think,becuase up until that point the symapthy was with her but now she has made hereself worse than Max.

And I do genuinely believe that he was sorry and had realised what he lost.

There are other ways to get him back but trying to Murder him is waaayyy too over the top.
And she was way too quick to be with someone else.
It's only payback for Tanya,as she did the same with Max and his first wife.

That's an interesting Point actually Highlander - People are forgetting that at one time she was "The other Woman" .... Now she knows how is his wife felt.

The BBC has received over 100 complaints about Friday night's episode of EastEnders, which saw Max Branning being buried alive.

Tanya Branning (Jo Joyner) was seen getting the ultimate revenge on her cheating husband Max (Jake Wood), who was drugged before being put in a grave dug by Sean Slater (Robert Kazinsky).

The episode went out at 8pm, but some viewers have claimed that the scenes were not suitable for broadcast before the 9pm watershed.

A BBC spokesman said: "There have been 137 complaints so far. We feel that number is small in relation to the number of viewers."

Joyner has admitted that she was "really upset" when she was told about the burial plot, but promised that viewers would be "pleased" with the outcome of the storyline.

I'm not surprised to be Honest - I did say that I Thought it was shocking to see played out.

I don't actually think it was that bad to be shown when it was. There have been a lot of scenes more violent then that.

The BBC has apologised to viewers who "did not enjoy" recent EastEnders episodes depicting one of the soap's main characters being buried alive.

The episodes, which aired on Friday 21 and Monday 24 March at 8pm and 7.30pm respectively, saw Tanya Branning (Jo Joyner) finally exact her revenge on her promiscuous husband Max (Jake Wood) by subjecting him to his childhood nightmare of being buried six feet under in a coffin. Her guilty conscience, however, forced her to return to the woodland scene and dig him up.

Friday's episode sparked 167 complaints.

A statement on the corporation's complaints website read: "Regular viewers will be aware that for some weeks now Tanya has been plotting her revenge against Max for his affair with Stacey, whilst at the same time lulling Max into a false sense of security, and convincing him that she has put the affair behind them.

"We believe the audience will have been expecting the culmination of these past few weeks to bring something particularly dramatic. Having been outsmarted by Max when she tried to deal with his adultery through the divorce courts, Tanya feels she has no option but to exact her own revenge."

It continued: "Given the story so far, Tanya's mode of revenge is entirely apposite; in an episode which transmitted last year, we saw Max confide in Tanya that when he was a child Jim had punished him for hanging around with some boys he disapproved of by shutting him alive in a coffin. It's an experience that clearly scarred him, and therefore - in Tanya's mind - an ideal way to wreak revenge on her husband.

"Whilst we appreciate that these episodes were dramatic, they were carefully filmed and edited in order that Max's ordeal was in the main implicit, rather than explicit, whilst still retaining their powerfulness.

"The burial is in no way glamorised or glorified, rather we see that when pushed to the edge, Tanya's behaviour becomes out of character, and indeed that it's Tanya herself who ultimately suffers because of her actions. Once again we are sorry that you did not enjoy these episodes."

It added: "We took great care to signal the nature of the content to the audience through pre-programme announcements, billings and programme publicity in order to prepare viewers for what to expect."

In January, the Walford soap received nearly 200 complaints over the stabbing of young teen Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick), while in November, the BBC was forced to apologise for a reference in a script to the Hillsborough disaster of 1989. Back in June, meanwhile, 183 viewers lodged complaints at the climax of the soap's 'Mad May' storyline arc

I agree with the fact that they have been building up to this throughout the storyline over the last few weeks and people knew what was going to happen.
