During the episode, soap fans watched as the doctor explained to Max and Lauren what would happen when they finally turned her life support machine off.

After this, Max asked if it would be possible to end her life at 8. At that exact time, the Vic went silent as the punters all paid their respect to Abi as she passed away, and fans were absolutely devastated. One Twitter user wrote: "33 years old and Eastenders still has the ability to make me sob like a baby I'm just glad there's nobody here to see me crying.

But while the nation sobbed at the dramatic, heartbreaking scenes, eagled eyed viewers were quick to spot a huge blunder. Abi, however, goes to the wake alone and reads a eulogy about how much he meant to her. Lauren catches Abi wearing her wedding dress, and Abi tells her everything Steven did — the affair and the spying. She also admits to telling Steven about Lauren's abortion. They then fight over Steven's ashes which Abi took off Billy when Lauren said she didn't want them, and she would flush them down the toilet if she ever did get them.

Lauren flushes half of them down the bathroom, and the rest covers Abi, herself and the floor. Abi then tells Lauren she is pregnant. Lauren goes to the pub, and Abi follows her, where Lauren tells Jay about Abi's pregnancy and wishes a miscarriage on Abi. On Christmas Day , Lauren, Abi and Lauren's son Louie were about to leave Walford to start a new life to go and live with their mother Tanya and younger brother Oscar Branning and Abi will raise her baby without Max in her life.

Abi then fell off the roof and days after giving birth to her daughter, was pronounced brain dead therefore Max was then left to raise the baby on his own and decided to name her Abi after her mother. After Abi's birth, she as placed in a particular baby unit but was visited many times by Max who promised to baby Abi that he will always put her first in everything that he does.

However, she was only getting paid to do this so Max could get custody of Abi as her great-grandmother Cora Cross demanded to have custody of her. After Rainie had saved baby Harley from his biological parents fleeing the country with him, Max decided to introduce her to Abi and Max promised Abi that she would be with him very shortly.

The next day, Abi's social worker came round to Max's brother Jack Branning's house and told Max and Rainie that they had a good chance of getting custody of Abi against Cora. At first, Jack didn't think Max should get custody of Abi, but he later changed his opinion when he realised how much Abi meant to Max.

Stacey and Martin Fowler spoke to the social worker and told them that Abi would be so loved and spoiled if she was in the care of Max.

Martin revealed he only did it because Stacey talked him into it after he said he would want people to stick up for him if he wanted custody of his and Stacey's young daughter Hope Fowler.

Max and Rainie took turns to feed baby Abi during the night and getting her to sleep. The next day, Cora got upset when she saw how well Kim Fox-Hubbard bonded with her young daughter Pearl and confided in Patrick Trueman that she didn't think Max and Rainie would cope with looking after Abi. Cora asked Rainie to leave Max and offered her money.

She told her that she could have her own business and bring baby Abi up with her sister Tanya and nephew Oscar- who is Max's son, but Rainie stuck by Max and told him about her mother. Max called social services about what had happened and showed them the proof. Rainie then told Max it wasn't about getting money from him or Cora and she wanted her, Max and Abi to be a real family. Max walked out, and Rainie said she only wants a baby. Not wanting Max to get custody of Abi, Donna Yates bought some drugs from a dealer and posted it through Max's letterbox.

She hoped Rainie would find the drugs and take them so it would be proved that she was unfit to be a mother to baby Abi, but Rainie never gave in and left the drugs alone. The next day, Max found them and confronted her. Rainie tried to explain, but he threw her out of the house. Max walked into the kitchen to get a drink, and Jack asked him what had happened, and Max said that Jack wouldn't need to worry about Rainie anymore as she has gone. Jack's daughter Amy then asked Max if Rainie was coming back, but he never answered her.

On November , Cora was looking after Abi. Max and Rainie get a message from their solicitor telling them all the claims Cora has made - that their marriage is fake and Rainie has cheated on Max with Jack. Max then chucks Rainie out when their solicitor is fired, blaming her for losing Abi. When walking in the market, Cora turns her back on Abi's buggy to have a cigarette causing the pram to roll down the road and into the path of a reversing van - however, Abi is saved by Robbie Jackson.
