EastEnders newlywed Tanya Jessop is to be diagnosed with cervical cancer in a forthcoming storyline, show bosses have announced.

The businesswoman and mother-of-three receives the bombshell news from doctors later this year, just as her current infidelity storyline featuring husband Greg and ex-partner Max Branning reaches a climax.

Confirming the plot, EastEnders' executive producer Bryan Kirkwood told the Daily Star Sunday: "EastEnders has worked closely with experts in the field to ensure we accurately portray this sensitive issue.

"Viewers will see how Tanya uses her inner determination to deal with what will be one of the toughest challenges of her life."

News of Tanya's shock diagnosis follows weeks of speculation over the character's future after previous hints that she would receive "a huge, life-changing shock" in the months ahead. Jake Wood, who plays Max, had also confirmed that a "big twist" was in store.

EastEnders viewers have recently seen Tanya (Jo Joyner) cheat on Greg by embarking on a steamy affair with Max, and the Daily Star Sunday also reports that Greg - played by Stefan Booth - will depart Albert Square once the truth about his wife's betrayal is exposed.

A show source told the newspaper: "Stefan's exit will come shortly after he discovers what Tanya has been up to."

Tanya's illness storyline is expected to air across the autumn.

I really hope they handle this storyline well. If they do it wrong they could have half the women in the country scared out of their minds. Tackling a sensitive issue like this is threading on very thin ice.

SarahBeep!

At least it'll bring the topic into people's living rooms, unfortunately it's one of those things people don't know enough about.

Shazanne

Very true. But it has to be done right. After the mess they made with the baby swap story I am just a bit concerned that they'll go over the top with this and start a scare. Creating an awareness is one thing, but terrifying people is not on. However, it does say in the article above that they are dealing with experts on the matter so we can only hope for the best.

Why was Afia and Tamwar getting married again

casio4

yeah i was wondering that too, we must have missed something

Shazanne

They were having their Civil Ceremony. You now have to have a civil element (also here in Ireland) to any church or religious marriage. In Ireland it is usually included in the wedding ceremony in the Church, but in England it is generally two separate events. It was even that way back in the late 50's when my parents married. They had the civil ceremony a couple of days before their church wedding. Being Irish catholics, they didn't consider themselves properly married until they had the church wedding.

I feel really bad for Raine (spl). I think shes very pretty ,but it seems she is constantly reminded of everything bad she has done.Its like they are trying to compare her to Tanya in a lesser light.I think Raine's character has so much more depth than Tanya's , shes's just like this shallow blonde thing whos stringing along her husbands .Why point the finger at the much maligned one ?
Have to say they have Eddie's son pictured well.He really reminds me of so many lady killers in Engerland ,it's funny.

Not sure I can cope with an hour of Ronnie.

julyjane

Too little too late Kat :mad:

Cookie33

Byebye Ronnie. At least thats an end to that storyline.

I feel sorry for Ronnie slightly, the writers never gave her a happy time. She was abused by her father, got pregnant and made to give up her child thinking she was dead only to find her daughter 5mins before she was killed by a car. Then she was finally happy with her husband and baby son.. wait a minute lets just kill the baby off and send Ronnie totally doolally!!

Please say you are joking???!!! They are driving me totally demented! I cringe when they come on the screen. I think Alfie called them Dumb and Dumber the other night - even that was too mild for them!

JP Liz V1

Was Kat's statement written by hear or Michael?

3 years in jail for Ronnie I thought she be given a psych hospital but she did steal a baby

Tanya is a hypocrite

Pam St Clement will leave EastEnders later this year, the BBC soap has announced.

The much-loved actress will depart her role as Pat Evans after 25 years in the BBC soap. Details of how St Clement, who is currently the second longest-serving castmember after Adam Woodyatt (Ian Beale), will bow out are not yet known.

"I have enjoyed 25 and a half wonderful years in EastEnders creating the character of Pat but feel it's time to hang up her earrings," the 69-year-old said. "Leaving the EastEnders 'family' will be akin to a bereavement, but I'm looking forward to the other work. and life opportunities that I will have the time to pursue."

Bryan Kirkwood, EastEnders executive producer, commented: "In Pat Harris-Beale-Wicks-Butcher-Evans, Pam St Clement has created one of the most iconic and loved characters in British TV history.

"Over the years we've seen her develop from a shrew into a matriarch, and Pat's colour, warmth and steel have given EastEnders some of its most memorable stories. Pam will be missed by everyone in Walford, and we wish her the very best of luck in everything that comes next."

Kirkwood added: "Although it's too early to talk about how Pat will leave the Square, we can assure viewers it will culminate in a fitting storyline, not to be missed."

Since arriving in E20 in the summer of 1986, Pat's storylines have included the paternity of her son Simon, her turn to prostitution, surviving the Walford attacker in 1987, the death of a teenage girl she knocked down, her ongoing battle against step-daughter Janine and the affair with Patrick Trueman.

However, Pat - famed for her large earrings - will be best remembered for her romance, marriage and affair with car dealer Frank Butcher, played by the late Mike Reid.

"It's always a sad day when one of our stars leaves EastEnders but when those stars are as important as Pam St Clement and the character as iconic as Pat 'Butcher', the blow is doubly hard," John Yorke, controller of BBC Drama production and new talent added.

"As part of EastEnders' 'creation myth', she has been integral to the programme's success from the very beginning; her love of Frank, her 'take no prisoners' nature and her earrings have made her a part of British culture."

Yorke concluded: "For most actors that would be legacy enough. The fact that Pam is also a total professional, an endless champion of the programme and a joy to work with is an added bonus."
