EastEnders spoilers for the soap's autumn return follow.
EastEnders' Kathy Beale is set to give Ian a big warning over Max Branning in upcoming scenes.
As the soap returns for the autumn, it seems Max won't be best pleased when he finds out that Ian has used his half of the restaurant money to buy Sharon the Queen Vic.
What to Read Next
In scenes set to air next week, Kathy will let slip that there are money issues, which piques the interest of Peter, who grows more concerned when Bobby reveals that Max is not pulling his weight at the restaurant.
This leads Kathy to confront Max, who tells her that he has sold his half of the restaurant so that Rainie Cross won't be entitled to 50% in their divorce.
However, Kathy later warns Ian that Max will not be happy when he discovers what Ian has done with his money.
New footage from this autumn's episodes sees Max confront Ian over double-crossing him, declaring: "You're unbelievable, Ian. That's my money, Ian! That's every penny. That's everything that I own."

Speaking on Secrets from the Square, star Jake Wood elaborated: "Max half-owns the restaurant with Ian Beale, but I think, just before lockdown, you saw him sign it over to Ian because he's trying to hide the money from Rainie.
"Because, obviously, the divorce has been finalised, so Ian offers to take on half of the business to prevent Rainie to get half of the divorce money. Max thought it was a great idea at the minute."
EastEnders air these scenes next week.
