EastEnders star praises ‘fantastic' co-star who is ‘smashing' it
The actress, 40, took over the role of Vicki Fowler in March, with the character arriving alongside partner Ross Marshall (Alex Walkinshaw) and his son Joel Marshall (Murray).
Returning to Walford to attend her uncle Martin's funeral, it soon became clear that the trio couldn't return to their home in Australia as a result of a few skeletons in their closet.
Joel had upskirted a pupil in his class, and Ross had been forced to cough up $50k to her furious family. They subsequently demanded that they stay away from the country and remain in London.
Unfortunately, the teen's behaviour has worsened since, from introducing his new mate Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall) to pornography, recording himself sleeping with Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) with her knowledge and sexually assaulting a passenger on the Underground.
Quite the troubled young man!
Despite their fractured relationship on-screen, it seems that Alice and Max get along like a house on fire, given a sweet Instagram tribute post she uploaded yesterday.
'Always brilliant working with the class act that is @maxmurray.official,' she wrote, alongside a photo of them smiling outside of The Queen Vic pub.
'Not only is he a fantastic actor on screen but he's respectful, kind and incredibly hard working off it.
'Not easy doing this job at such a young age and he is smashing it! Making a pretend step-mum very proud!'
Max commented: 'I'm beyond lucky to be working with you. Love ya.'
Their co-star Kitty Castledine, who plays Penny Branning, added: 'Love you both!! Brilliant work as always.'
Away from The Square, Max has a secret side-hustle as a singer in a band with his brother, known as The Murray Brotherz.
Their first single, Dear Amy, was released on 23rd July last year.
