Coronation Street's Max in the middle as two characters battle for his affections and an ultimatum issued

Max Turner will find himself in the middle of a fight for his affection before he's issued an ultimatum by his step-dad in Coronation Street next week. Troubled Max Turner is set to face more problems on the cobbles thanks to two of the women in his life - Lauren Bolton and Sabrina Adetiba.

Ever since returning from the STC, Max has been trying to get his life back on track. And just as it looked like Max was getting settled back into normal life, he found himself caught up in a love triangle with Sabrina, who he thought was his STC mate Gav's ex when it was in fact his sister, and Lauren, the daughter of a member Girff Reynold's extremist gang who groomed him.

In upcoming scenes, Lauren gets between Max and Sabrina once more as she attempts to wind Sabrina up by making out that she and Max are an item. Max assures Sabrina that’s not the case but Sabrina is left unsettled.
