EE: Dear, stupid, pathetic Tanya

Post by **Skylace** » Sat Feb 16, 2008 2:23 pm

I was hoping Tanya would get a back-bone for this divorce. But it doesn't surprise me that she hasn't. She always comes across to being this tough, no-nonsense, woman but when it comes to Max she's nothing more that a pathetic door mat.
For years she has put up with his behavior. From his lying to her from the start about his first marriage to his countless other affairs. We know that he was cheating on her already when they moved to the Square and that it had already happened before. So it takes him screwing his son's 19 year old ex to be the straw that breaks the camel's back? And of course, seeing him with the secretary and his reaction to her wasn't a surprise as well.
Tanya plays into it every time. I used to like her and was thinking that she might grow a spine, sadly she hasn't. She's sunk into a bottle and become a loser. I honestly don't like her much right now and don't feel a bit sorry for her.

It gets better

SLOSHED Tanya Branning stumbles round Albert Square clutching her shoe with lover Sean Slater.

And the mum-of-three (Jo Joyner, 29) falls on Sean (Rob Kazinsky, 24), in a giggling heap at her birthday bash.

But her drinks have been spiked by love rat husband Max (Jake Wood, 34), who is fighting for custody of the kids.
And while she is drunk Max smuggles them out of her house.

A source said: “He uses it as evidence that she isn’t capable of caring for the kids. And it shows how low he’ll go.”

lalalalala

The DVD think irked me too. I would have made many many more copies. It was too important not to. Same when my sister had a small claims court lawsuit. I made many copies of the pictures. You can never be too sure. Of course the difference being my sister's pictures were of a crap apartment, whereas Tanya's was of a dirty dog.....Tanya will need to stay on her toes, but it looks like in typical EE fashion, that won't be happening.

Same here, pirty. I would have had copies of that DVD all over the place.... safe deposit box, lawyers, friends, the safe at Booty's (I'm assuming she has one there), etc. etc.

I'm with Sky about Tanya. When everything went down at Christmas, I really thought we were going to see a much stronger, self-assured woman emerge and kick Max in the bollocks, but instead we're getting the woe-is-me, drown your sorrows in alcohol mom with the scum-bag dad who can't think further than the next shag. This story line has really disappointed me.

Of course it was always going to happen this way - after all this is EE! Nothing is ever straight forward, logical or plausible

And how could she have not known that this would happen eventually? After all, it's how she got him...Why didn't she expect this?

Yup, just like the saying about adultery goes: "If he does it with you, he'll do it to you."

I don't feel sorry for Tanya since she too was "the other woman". Yeah, he cheated on you but get over it as it is how you got him in the first place. I hate how she is acting like a saint and Max isn't good looking at all so I don't understand how he is getting all these women in the first place.

I am with you on that one - I think Max sometimes shows a real resemblance to the GEICO gecko

I don't exactly agree with what she is doing, but I can see her "he is going to pay for all he has done" attitude and she has grown a backbone, all the while she hangs on to hottie Sean. I have a growing respect....

She's playing Max like a fiddle

I agree with you both -- with the exception of what she's putting her children through. Daddy's moving out, Daddy's moving back in, I get "everything" in my name and Daddy's out again. That's really screwing w/her daughters' minds, especially Abby.

Tanya should definitely have some consequences to deal with if she proceeds w/her plan to bamboozle Max.

Yes, she needs to play this one very carefully! But thank goodness the writers haven't turned her into a real wimp.

She has REALLY lost the plot now!! Did you see the look in her eyes? She is totally over the edge...

Post by **Skylace** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 5:08 pm

Oh yes! I am so happy to see her snap!
