It really winds me up that Tanya is always rattling on about being cheated on by Max. i haven't forgotten she got with him when he was married with a small child and didn't think twice about breaking up a marriage and taking a child's father away. Especially when she talks about her Dad dying when she was a kid so she knows how hard it is without you Dad around.

Then after she left Max for about the 16th time she remarries a lovely genuine fella then cheats on him with Max the ginger toss pot.

She's a hypocrite and she deserves what she gets I don't feel sorry for her and can't wait to see the back of the character she's shagged most of the square one of which her ex husbands brother so I don't know how she's always preaching morality.

End of rant!!!!

I agree that Tanya is a hypocrite but I do still like her nevertheless. She was completely wrong in my opinion to throw Max out just because he admitted to having feels for Kirsty. He married Kirsty while he and Tanya were seperated, ended things with Kirsty when he found out about Tanya's cancer and hasn't cheated since Stacey. It was also completely wrong to Tanya to marry Greg when she didn't love him and then cheat on him with Max.

However I don't have a problem with Tanya and Jack. I liked them together best and they did nothing wrong since they were both seperated from Max and Ronnie at the time. Tanya was a fool to dump Jack imo and Max was selfish to keep trying to mess that up for Tanya.

Imo that whole saga was Tanya at her worst! Jack was Max's brother. They were plotting to leave the country with his kids, and painted him as the bad guy for having an issue with this. All this was after Tanya had buried him alive as well.

Definitely. Agree with this. All I can say is that Max is very forgiving of his brother because I wouldn't have been! Jack was taunting him and everything wasn't he? Typical Tanya behaviour though.

You are entitled to your opinion but the only reason Tanya and Jack were going to move away with the kids was because Max wouldn't stop interfering in their lives. He tried every trick in the book to split them up including setting Jack up for attempted murder. If he had agreed to let Tanya be happy with Jack and backed off, things wouldn't have spiralled off to that extreme.

As for the live burial storyline that was just a silly, over the top storyline to write Jake Wood out because he wanted paternity leave at a time that didn't suit the writers. Lauren running Max over was also awful and just used as a plot device to split Tanya and Jack up.

And I don't have a problem with someone dating their ex's brother, sister or cousin. I'm very broad minded about things like that. Tanya and Jack did nothing wrong as they were both single at the time.

Tanya has inflated ideas of her own superiority, and it annoys her that Max could even dare to look at another woman after she (and her daughters) kicked him out in the street, forcing him to leave Walford.

Tanya is an obnoxious, hypocritcal woman and I can't wait for her to go.

It was Max's responsibility to remain faithful to his wife Rachel. It's not possible to 'take' or 'steal' a person.

As for Tanya shagging most of the square really like who? Max, Sean, Jack and Greg?

She did the right thing, she knew that it wouldn't be long before Max was cheating on her with Kirsty.

Nobody ever blames Max even now it's obvious he would cheat on Kirsty with Tanya if he could - the only reason he hasn't is because Tanya keeps knocking him back but apparently everything is Tanya's fault.

Well I like Tanya she is one HOT milf and I am going to miss Jo when she leaves. Sexiest woman in EastEnders alongside Charlie Brooks.

I always enjoy her storylines and prefer Max and Tanya to Max and Kirsty. The most interesting thing about Kirsty is that stupid hat she wears it's all anyone ever talks about when it comes to the character on here which says a lot.

Or in real life, we all are to some extent.

I don't understand what she is supposed to have done now. She has been quiet recently although I expect she will have more to do in the run up to her exit. I guess some just love a good moan.

She was even getting hate for telling Sharon to tell Jack about her kiss with Phil. Sharon was 100% in the wrong there and yet somehow it was all Tanya's fault again.

So we don't consider it because it's just a story line. Silly or not it happened and the character of Tanya's did it and I for one find it hard to see any good in her at all after that event. Anyone that can do that is basically amoral. Tanya is an awful person and as this example demonstrates hypocrisy is the least of her character defects.

Tanya seems to divide opinion on here but she obviously has fans if some of the polls are anything to go by

Take this one for example she is one of the ones with the fewest amount of votes

And she is obviously liked by the wider audience or she wouldn't have lasted 7 years on the programme.

BIB: No, but it IS possible to have some moral fibre and back off when you find out the man you're seeing is married with a kid. She wasn't completely blameless. Yes HE made a commitment to Rachel but Tanya willingly helped him break it.

Underlined: Completely agree, for once Tanya has done the right thing! Max is a sleaze who always wants what he can't have and she knows this now. It's taken a long time but she's finally seeing him for what he is.

She was even getting hate for telling Sharon to tell Jack about her kiss with Phil. Sharon was 100% in the wrong there and yet somehow it was all Tanya's fault again.
But coming from a woman who was doing a bit more than kiss Max when she was married to Greg is stank of rank hypocrisy and "do as I say, not as I do".

So we don't consider it because it's just a story line. Silly or not it happened and the character of Tanya's did it and I for one find it hard to see any good in her at all after that event. Anyone that can do that is basically amoral. Tanya is an awful person and as this example demonstrates hypocrisy is the least of her character defects.
Worst thing they ever had Tanya do. It was ridiculous. Then they STILL made Tanya the 'victim' by having Max saying something about having driven her to it! What?! He drove to her burying him alive because he cheated? He didn't kill her bloody kids or something, he CHEATED! Unbelievable

*rant over*

Do her kids know about what she did? I can never remember!

As said by someone else who isn't a hypocrite in soap...

At least Tanya can own up to it... Like when she was trying to convince Sharon to tell Jack about her and Phil, she admitted that she shouldn't have cheated on Greg.

She compared herself to Stacey at one point and when she did that crazy out of character thing where she buried Max alive she came to her senses and went back to save him and called herself 'sick' ... Tanya's main redeeming feature is the fact she can own up to things, besides people usually love flawed characters on here I am surprised Tanya is so disliked... If anything she isn't flawed enough judging by some of peoples favourite characters...

Also, did Tanya even know about Bradley... I seem to recall her saying she didn't know he existed when she started dating Max whilst he was married... (I assume she knew about Rachel though?)

The burial alive plot doesn't seem to bother me as much as it does some. In the end she went back and dug him up which shows she was not in the right frame of mind at the time. This was also demonstrated through her neglecting Oscar, throwing herself at Sean, and drinking heavily. To me she was showing signs of suffering from PND, add on Max turning their lives upside down and it's easy to see why she cracked.

In very basic terms she did the right thing and was redeemed in the only way possible. I think what some people can't get over is how ridiculous the storyline is but if you look beyond that it was not that damaging to Tanya's character because it was ultimately about her having a change of heart doing the right thing.

I'm no fan of the story believe me but I think some exaggerate the impact it's had on Tanya's character. Plus it was 5 years ago, I'm kind of over it.

Edited to add: What the burial alive plot did give us was some fantastic acting from both Jake and Jo - some of my favourite performances they have done in the show.

This!

The burial, despite being a bit crazy, was well acted and showed Tanya had reached breaking point and she did do the right thing in the end which showed what kind of person she was... A good person.

I remember Max was shortlisted for Best Villian at the BSA's because of his treatment of Tanya... I remember the clip where he was stood there saying he was going to take the kids from her and ruin her life...... Which escalated into her attempting to take the kids instead

How do you "steal" someone's husband? That's what I want to know. Doesn't Max have a mind of his own?

100% agree with you.

It wasn't just about the cheating otherwise why wait 3 months to do it? He was very cruel to Tanya around that time and on one occasion even drugged her on her birthday just so he could take the kids. It was all about getting one over on Tanya because he was jealous of her and Sean. I remember shouting at my TV during the court heating for their divorce, Max slept with Stacey then acted like Tanya was in the wrong for not forgiving him. He can be infuriating sometimes.

I really enjoyed the burial alive story does that make me a sadist?

I'm also a fan of Tanya. If I'm in the minority I don't care, I have a mind of my own.

Whether you're a fan or not, she certainly stirs up a lot of emotion around these parts. I would rather have a character like her than one everyone is indifferent to like Poppy. Peggy was another one who divided opinion yet I'm sure there's a consensus now that people miss her. You don't know what you've got until it's gone.

Well if you're a sadist shellbiggs then I must be one too because it was my favourite episode that year. It also got the highest viewing figures of that year iirc with nearly 12m viewers tuning in.

I don't understand how some feel that Tanya was ruined by that story but not Max who climbed out of the coffin and was still begging for another chance with Tanya.

Also people are always asking for Sean Slater to return on here yet he was involved in that storyline and never attracts any criticism for it.

I found the Lauren running over Max storyline more ridiculous. The burial, for me, wasn't that bad. Max even admitted he drove Tanya to it - he was shocked by her actions, and felt an enormous amount of guilt, that's why he didn't go to the police about it and decided to back off. If Max can forgive Tanya I'm sure i can.

Yes, but unfortunately it's in his trousers!
