"EastEnders star Kierston Wareing has admitted that she can&amp;#039;t understand why her character Kirsty Branning stays with husband Max. Kirsty is currently lying about being pregnant in a desperate attempt to keep Max (Jake Wood) interested in their relationship, knowing that he still has strong feelings for his ex-partner Tanya (Jo Joyner).  Wareing told TV Times: &amp;quot;If a Max Branning even tried to approach me, I&amp;#039;d be like, &amp;#039;See you later, goodbye!&amp;#039; &amp;quot;What I don&amp;#039;t understand is why she won&amp;#039;t leave him. I know she&amp;#039;s lonely, but you can be even lonelier in a relationship. I&amp;#039;d love her to kick Max into touch.  &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s found a friend in Kat and I&amp;#039;d love to see that progress - having them go out and about and having a good time together.&amp;quot; The actress, who made her first appearance as Kirsty at Christmas, added that she wouldn&amp;#039;t rule out a long-term stay with EastEnders.  She said: &amp;quot;I believe life is fated - what&amp;#039;s going to happen will happen. So you might see me in EastEnders in 20 years, you might see me in Hollywood, you might never see me again! &amp;quot;If I carry on acting, I&amp;#039;ll appreciate it because I&amp;#039;ve struggled to get here. It&amp;#039;s a wonderful job. People would give their right arm to do it.&amp;quot; EastEnders continues tonight (April 30) at 7.30pm on BBC One.
