Barry Cox and Max would also continuously fight due to his hovering of Julie and his loyalty to Ray.
Max lived and worked in Southport, until his tragic demise, despite such a little connection to a gruesome event.
Ray went on to work alongside Max at the Southport docks as a respected fisherman. It is unknown if they settled their conflict.
Max and Julie[]
Max was in love with Julie, even though she had been seeing Ray Bronson.
Max would constantly try to steal Julie away and had announced his affections since middle school. Julie however was not in love with Max but remained good friends with him. Max continued in his attempts at trying to make Julie his girlfriend.
Following his death, Max's body was placed inside the trunk of Julie's car, covered in live crabs, and Barry's swiped jacket, as a sign of what is to come, for them, by him. Upon returning to her car, Julie, along with Barry and Helen, find nothing in her trunk. Helen decides that she believes Julie's story, while Barry speculates as to what really might be happening, with Julie.
Max and Barry[]
Max and Barry had a strained relationship. Max despised Barry because of his rich boy attitude and for generally being in close contact with Julie.
Max drove past the scene of the accident and showed great glee at the fact Barry would be in trouble with his rich father due to his car being wrecked.
Barry also suspected Max of sending the note and confronted him with a fish hook, which Ben Willis would use to kill Max.
Later when Max's corpse is found in Julie's trunk, he is shown to be wearing Barry's missing jacket.
Max and Ray[]
Though Ray and Max worked together as fellow fisherman, they still had a strained relationship. Max disliked Ray for being Julie's boyfriend and for using Barry to prevent Max from communicating with Julie. Ray felt sorry for Max and tried to stop Barry from hurting him, but Max still referred to him as having the rich boy act like Barry, which was his solemn reason for hating him. After Barry was run over by someone in a rain slicker, he thinks the person is someone related to David Egan (the guy they believed they hit and dumped alive), Ray still suspected the killer is Max, unaware of his death earlier.
