Abi & Lauren Branning plummet from the roof on EastEnders

The Christmas Day special of EastEnders has left viewers ‘traumatised’.

Suicidal Max Branning (Jake Wood) was seen being talked away from the roof of the Queen Vic by his desperate daughters Abi (Lorna Fitzgerald) and Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) as he tried to jump.

And while he eventually agreed and attempted to make his way back to safety, both his daughters slipped in the pouring rain and plummeted to the ground.

  

Troubling scenes: Suicidal Max Branning (Jake Wood) was seen being talked away from the roof of the Queen Vic by his desperate daughters Abi (Lorna Fitzgerald) and Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) – who ended up falling themselves

The tense scene saw Max’s daughters pleading for him to step off the roof. However chaos ensued when Lauren turned and lost her footing. 

Desperate to keep her balance as she fell, she grabbed onto her sister Abi who also took the tumble from the roof. 

Max was then seen frantically running downstairs and pushing his way through the crowds to attend to his daughters. 

Stepping outside he saw them both unconscious on the ground. Viewers will have to wait to find out whether they survived the fall.
