BBC Share By Helen Fear Jul 6 2018 By Helen Fear Jul 6 2018 EastEnders fans sad for Rainie Branning after baby confession But does this change everything? EastEnders Share By Helen Fear Jul 6 2018 By Helen Fear Jul 6 2018 Rainie Branning has her fair share of haters amongst EastEnders fans – and who can blame them? She returned to Albert Square earlier this year as Max’s wife in a sham marriage. The former drug addict is being paid to play the complaint wife in order to win custody of Max’s granddaughter Abi. But what are her real motives? Anyone would think they were a real family… (Credit: BBC) Read more: EastEnders SPOILER: First look pics as Carmel says an emotional goodbye to her son Article continues below Read all the latest spoilers Last night (Thursday 5 July), fans got an insight into Rainie’s motivation as she showed a softer side to her character. Finally opening up about the real reason she wants to get joint custody of baby Abi, she confessed to her husband that she’s unable to have her own children. And viewers warmed to her after learning that she didn’t enter into the business arrangement with Max for money after all.

Terrified that Rainie’s behaviour might jeopardise their chances of getting custody of Abi, Max threatened to back out of their deal. However, insisting she’s not in it for the money, Rainie admitted that she can’t have children and that little Abi is her last chance at motherhood. I can’t deny it anymore, I’ve fell in love with rainie Branning #EastEnders — Benji Nowland (@Nowland_Ben) July 5, 2018 I actually feel for Rainie #Eastenders — daisy (@sunnyxgal) July 5, 2018 https://twitter.com/lollysuckwell/status/1014946290487169025 I love Rainie! That’s the level of petty I would’ve reached with Donna! ? #EastEnders — BovaryCee.bsky.social ???????? (@BovaryCee) July 5, 2018 Donna needs to learn that people can change. Rainie used to be an addict and addiction is a disease. #EastEnders — Alan (@alanactor123) July 5, 2018 https://twitter.com/easstenders/status/1014944580339290112 https://twitter.com/lollysuckwell/status/1014960033191399424 https://twitter.com/rickeebutcha/status/1014942778093121536 Donna is getting on my nerves. Rainie is no longer an addict. Think about how hard it must of been for her to overcome the addiction. #EastEnders — Alan (@alanactor123) July 5, 2018 Don't know what to make of Rainie.? It looks like she's really trying but then she does something that reminds us of the same old Rainie. Will be interesting to see where this will lead.#eastenders @bbceastenders — Lydia (@MacElmo) July 5, 2018 Fans felt a surge of sympathy for the character, played by Tanya Franks. One wrote: “I actually feel for Rainie.” Another said: “I can’t deny it anymore, I’ve fell in love with rainie Branning.” A third simply tweeted: “Awwww,Rainie!!” A more philosophical viewer pondered: “Don’t know what to make of Rainie. It looks like she’s really trying but then she does something that reminds us of the same old Rainie. Will be interesting to see where this will lead.” Some fans believe there is sexual chemistry between Max and Rainie (Credit: BBC) Sadly, though, Max refused to believe Rainie’s heartfelt confession and continued to insist that their agreement is over… So where does this leave Rainie now? We know her mum Cora is returning next week… Do the pair team up against Max to secure custody of Abi? Do you have any sympathy for Rainie?
