why is definately another question.
I know Stacey isn't totally innocent in all of this, but IMO Max is more at fault, he took advantage of Stacey when she was at her most vulnerable. The fact is he just doesn't care about his family or he wouldn't hurt them the way he does, remember this is not the first time he's cheated. Personally i can't wait to see him get his come-uppance on Christmas day, i just feel sorry for the rest of his family who will be devastated.
