On set with... Jake Wood
If you were to describe the Square's Max Branning in three words what would they be?
Chances are that they wouldn't be the kindest words plucked from a dictionary. In comparison, actor Jake Wood is nowt like that in reality. He's a polite, professional and an UTTERLY lovely fella. I might even start an appreciation society.
Jake joined us on set this week after an early start and spent time out of his looooong day to tell you a little bit more about his day-to-day doings.

We love her so much we have a fan page for her and Samantha Womack so if you can tell Rita that Demi and myself love supporting her and we always will support her and Samantha. Please make this possible. x

Hayley - thanks for getting in touch... we have seen all your comments :-) As yet, Rita is not on schedule for the days we film, but we hope to film with her some time in the future. I cannot guarantee that we can get a cast member to solely pick anyone out for a name check, but thanks for all your dedication and support! I will pass on your comments :-)

With Vanessa leaving, I can definitely see a Max & Tanya reconciliation on the cards. There'll always be that connection with Max and Tanya, plus they were married for years and had 3 children together.
Any chance you could do an "On set with...Adam Woodyatt" next please? Thank you.
