Max and Tanya stuck up?
Does anyone else think that Max and Tanya are kinda stuck up and think they're better than everyone else?

Tanya definately think she better than everyone else and like Abi said she a snob. Though I still like Tanya its just a shame that the writers changed her character she use to be more likeable than she is now but i guess due to the Stax affair she had to change.

I don't recall Tanya being like this all the time. I preferred her in her first couple of years, but she seems to have turned into Sally Webster.
And just like the Webster's, their own family is one of the most dysfunctional with huge problems so they have a cheek when it comes to the neighbours.

Tanya has her faults which are well documented,but she is a good mother all the same and she believes she is acting in the best interests of her children . I wouldn't want my kid hanging around with Lola , who is not fit to clean a toilet

Tanya a hypocrite fair enough she doesnt want her child hanging out with the 'wrong crowd' but she needs to remember thats she not a saint she buried her husband alive, Lola may not be an angel but compared to Tanya she is one and Lola is a good friend to Abi.

I dont think they were together when she did that, and the upcoming spoilers show that Lola is a good friend to Abi

! Omg I wanted to kick my TV in when she was looking down her nose at Jay . Her hypocrisy is breathtaking! And Max aswell! The things he's been involved in ! I do like Tanya most of the time but I just don't get where this grand side of her comes from?!

Same I also like Tanya when she first arrived she was much more likeable. I also hated the way she was with Jay both of Abi parents are hypocrites. Tanya buried Max alive and also covered up for Lauren running Max over, and she also used Sean and Greg to get what she wanted and broke up Max first marraige. Max cheater, helped a murderer escape and his secret, so i dont know why they are acting like saints. I understand that they dont want Abi hanging around with the 'wrong crowd' but at the same time whenever they say that sort of stuff its just all very hypocritical and those people they accuse of being the wrong crowd are much better people than them. Though I still like Max and Tanya.
!! Unbelievable !Tbh Max and Tanya are going round in circles IMO. They're like Kat and Alfie in the sense they keep doing the same things over and over ! I'm just hoping that whatever this big secret is that Max has is enough to finish them once and for all! Can't wait to find out what this secret is at Xmas, |

To be honest, if I was in such a dysfunctional family as that, and had one kid that looked bright enough, as well as being sensible enough, to get away from all that, I'd probably swallow my pride and try and keep her on the straight and narrow too.

I don't think Tanya is of perspective Abi is her one good kid though; this is the woman who reminisced to Lauren about her teen pregnancy, and getting drunk and being a rebel teen in general, and she also did the same to Stacey. This is the woman who sets no boundaries for Lauren, or who encourages her to be someone. Tanya only cares about status; her remarks on Lola and Jay weren't about who they were as people, but the kind of background they came from. This is the same woman who was keen to pally pally with Dr May Wright, despite being more like Dawn than May. Tanya in particular, was a 'Lola' (and arguably still is) in her younger years; getting pregnant young (18, to Lola's 15). The difference is, Tanya was successful in find her meal-ticket, whereas insofar Lola hasn't been.

Tanya definitely. What makes me laugh is that she was exactly like Lola as a teenager as well but I don't like Tanya that much anyways.

TBH, even though I hate Tanya at times and think she's way too stuck up. Especially when it came to her first meeting with Sharon, and all the Lola stuff I actually don't think the fact that she was similar to Lola means she's being a hypocrite.
People grow up and remember their rebellious younger years, and most don't want their kids to follow in their footsteps. Tanya even admitted the way she was, getting pregnant early and not having much career prospects which is why she wanted Abi to make something of herself and not end up the same as Tanya (depending on Max for money and support). I hate the way she goes about it and the way Lauren is treated differently, but you can't fault her for wanting her kids to get the best start possible. |

To be fair to Tanya and Max though - I wouldn't want my daughter who'd always been on the straight and narrow and could actually make something of herself hanging around with the Asbo gymslip mum either as harsh as that might sound. If she gets led into criminal activity it could spoil her chances for the future.
Yes it seems completely hypocritical of Tanya after everything that she's done and IMO she probably only wants Abi to make something of herself so she can brag about her successful daughter in the future, but regardless of her reasons she wants the best for her and I don't think she should really be castigated for it. It'll benefit Abi in the long run. Pity though that she hasn't been so conscientious with poor Lauren! EDIT: And when it comes to Tanya there's always been alot of "Do as I SAY not as I DO". @PrincessPerfect - great post as per and I totally agree with the meal ticket comment. |

Abi is the only child bar Oscar who has potential and doesn't of seem to be as dysfunctional as Lauren I think they don't want to see her fail and Jay and Lola are not desirable people to hang around with, yes they are being stuck up but I think it not done it to be horrible but more out of fear of her ending up like them.

I don't find Max to be stuck up. He wouldn't have hired Darren Miller, a member of the family with the illiterate lazy dad and the teenage mother, if he was IMO. His general demeanour doesn't strike me as someone who looks down on others either.
Tanya, on the other hand, does act a bit high and mighty but as others have said, it's understandable why she is being protective of Abi. I'd be wary of my daughter hanging around with Lola and Jay too. |

Tanya is stuck up, she is snobby but ultimately the way she acts is because of where she has come from. She's been there, she's hit rock botom (in her opinion) and she doesn't want the same life for Abi, she wants her to go on and make something of her life. She's just trying to be a good Mum.

a good Mum would know not to force a child not to do something, you would sit them down and advise them, but no way should she be acting the way she is, it will only push Abi to Jay even more. |

Yes they are a little stuck up, like may other Square residents.
Then again, I would not be too pleased if my daughter was hanging around with a delinquent teen mom and a troubled teen with a heavy charge hanging above his head. Of course Jay and Lola are not as bad as you would expect by just looking at at them and from what people say. They appear to be stereotype chavs. Problem is, they are actually very nice, decent kids, probably a better influence than Lauren or Lucy are. They are loyal, stick up for each other and don't avoid responsibility anymore (for a bunch of teens, that is great, many other residents manage to continue running away from responsibilities untill they are well in their thirties). Jay has also proven to respect Abi's boundaries. So if Tanya and Max would look closer and try to get to know Abi's mates instead of trying to chase them away, they would realize that abi did much better at picking friends than Lauren. Lucy may be from a "respected" family, but she is a moneygrabbing manipulative little madam, Anthony is a gambling addict and stupid, Tyler is also not very bright and has a temper and Whitney seems to have disappeared completely from their little group, didn't she? That leaves Fatboy to be the only one who I would consider a good friend (as a rule, i think a good friend is respectfull of you, and understanding, stands by you, yet tells you when you are doing something beyond stupid and does not ask or encourage you to take part in activities that could be harmfull to you, like drinking is for Lauren). They need to be reminded that books can not be judged by their covers. |
