And now The Sun can reveal he will be spreading them across time and space in the new series of Doctor Who.
A source said: “Max will appear in an exciting episode in the new series of the show. He’s set to make a huge impression.”
Since quitting the soap, Max went on to land a role in Peacock’s Vampire Academy and Netflix’s Blood, Sex and Royalty.
He has also landed a lead role in upcoming Netflix series The Corps from late iconic producer and writer Norman Lear.
The Sun previously revealed how Max found love in Emmerdale with his on-screen brother Kris Mochrie.
The now engaged couple met backstage and never shared scenes with Luke’s character falling for Lee’s rape victim Victoria.
It was later revealed that Luke was responsible for his brother’s death after they got into a fight when Lee discovered Luke was secretly gay.
Last year they revealed they will marry this year with a sweet post on social media.
Posing on his Instagram Story on Wednesday 7 August, Kris shared a colourful rainbow image and wrote, “365 days to go,” alongside an engagement ring emoji before adding “& 365 things to do.”
The Sun exclusively revealed that Max and Kris had begun dating back in 2020. During their early courtship, the pair could be seen living life in style, including enjoying a lavish holiday to Dubai.
By the end of the year, they had moved into their first home together.
In 2022, they celebrated another major milestone in their relationship as they announced their engagement.
Max revealed he popped the question to Kris, describing the moment he said yes as “the happiest” of his life.
He wrote on Instagram: “He deserves the world, but the best I could do was promise him my heart. HE SAID YES!
“Happiest moment of my life. @krismoc my fiancée.”
