In upcoming scenes, Max will clash with Daryan at work. The pair start their new job at Speed Daal next week. However, things won’t go as planned for Max as he butts heads with Daryan. He opens up to Lauren about the incident, but the latter has something different in mind. Lauren sides with Max in an effort to win him over to the extremist group. She tells him that his bosses favor Daryan Lauren and continues with her lies later in the week. She fakes feeling sick after taking on Alya Nazir’s (Sair Khan) free meal offer. Before she heads home, she lies to Max that Daryan tried to make a pass on her.

Later on, Griff takes over and demands Max watch a film to educate him about how extremists think. He then offers Max £200 to help him promote a talk that he’ll be giving at the community center. Will he accept Griff’s offer? Will he be enticed to join the extremist group? How will this affect Max and his family?

Coronation Street producer Iain MacLeod said that “Max’s story is one about the grooming of a vulnerable teenager at a point where he’s feeling most alienated and disenfranchised.”

“The story will encompass the ‘traditional’ recruitment techniques of extremist groups, and we’ll see Max befriended in person by older, mentor-like figures that will give him a sense of loyalty and brotherhood,” he added.
