Maximus informed viewers that the storyline was based on the real attack which the actors involved must handle delicately.

Talking about this week’s upcoming episodes, Maximus said: “Corey decided its best for me to show up at the funeral which is bound for disaster.

“It’s definitely not the right choice there, so what well see is reactions from Abi and Asha.”

“Tonight’s we’ll probably see a bit of the fire on the street as he shows up.”

In the sneak preview for Tuesday’s episode, viewers saw Corey approach the funeral car fully suited.

Nina gasped as she told him: “No one wants you here!”
