Coronation Street fans have expressed their dismay at this character's - apparently misguided - loyalty in what they call a 'big mistake'. 

In Friday night's episode of Coronation Street (which aired Friday, 11th August 2023) Max decided to opt to stay loyal to Lauren over Corrie favourite Sabrina, much to the dismay of viewers of the ITV show. 

'Ooooo i stand corrected. Max has decided to keep Lauren in his life... big mistake,' wrote one fan. 

While another said, 'Actually Max has some sense, god awful Lauren over Sabrina? 

'Unless of course, he is stringing them both along that will do lovely Sabrina a favour, what the f**k did she do so bad to deserve Max?!'

While another said, 'No-one wants to be an option. And that's what it's looking like at the moment, Max is keeping his options open.'

And another wrote, 'Just goes to show how bad Mad Max II mental health is when he prefers Lauren over Sabrina.'

While another writes, getting more and more irritated with Lauren, 'Lauren is hideous and shouldn't be there but for some reason they are desperately trying to force the awful character into the show.'

To which another fan says, 'Her coming back just feels so unnecessary.'

And another writes, 'Lauren won over Sabrina', with a shocked face emoji.

And another says, 'Max prefers misery Lauren.'
