CHEATED Tanya Branning will shock East-Enders fans by burying ALIVE hubby Max.
The mum of three, played by actress Jo Joyner, takes revenge — in an stunning storyline — for the love-rat bedding his daughter-in-law
Weeks of scheming will culminate in Tanya seducing Max and then drugging him — before placing him in a coffin and burying it in woods
The moment Max (Jake Wood) had his affair with Stacey (Lacey Turner) uncovered attracted 14 million viewers on Christmas Day — the highest ratings of 2007.
A BBC source added: “Viewers will have to wait to find out whether Max lives or dies
"He’s capable of being nasty to get what he wants. He disgusts Tanya, she doesn’t want him back — and feels he is out to hurt her because of that.”
Max is appalled when Tanya’s drug-addict sister Rainey moves in with his family — and he reports his wife to social services.
He claims the kids — Abi, Lauren and baby Oscar — are at risk from dirty needles.
Meanwhile, Stacey tries to rebuild her shattered marriage to Max’s son Bradley (Charlie Clements).

oh my god should be good
This is a bit far fetched, surely? And not something she could do by herself so will Sean lend a hand? Should be interesting viewing though.

that is maddness, i hope its not true because its just weird.
:eek: :eek: This is insane
this sounds cool, she's obviously using the fact that Jim did this to Max when he was a kid! how evil! :D

yes it is.. it was the one thing max feared the most and the reason he doesn't talk to his dad so Tanya is getting revenge..
Isn't this a bit like burying Den under the celler floor?

Not really.. Den was dead, max is been buried alive and it does state that we don't know if he lives or dies so totally different

You go girl, smack him on the head with the shovel make him beg for mercy :lol:

That was my first thought too - that she would need an accomplice. Sean is the obvious choice but would he really want to get involved in something like this, although he does hate Max as well. Could be someone less obvious like Jack maybe.
Should be good either way.

:lol: a bit insane yes but about time Max got his comeuppance for all the nasty things he did to Tanya! I look forward to it :D :p

I have been racking my brain trying to remember where I had heard this story before, thank you, yes, I remember now. This is certainly sweet (not) revenge by Tanya. :eek:

:eek: I did not know that
Now its kinda more explainable, you know
Woah! This has the potential to be one sensational storyline, I think. Jack as an accomplice would be good too - it's obvious because of the way he left the message on the tape that he does care about his dad a hell of a lot more than Max does, and maybe he wants revenge on Max for that. He's obviously quite a bit younger than Max, so maybe he doesn't know that Jim buried Max. I do think Sean being the accomplice would be a tad farfetched though; Tanya hasn't said a word to him for weeks.

Which is certainly going to make this gripping and frightening for Max. I love Tanya's fiesty side but boy this is gonna be proper revenge, don't mess with a woman scourned. I can see this getting complaints, but personally I cant wait.
...and cue Sean's exit storyline

EastEnders' Tanya Branning to bury alive love cheat Max - with Sean Slater's help
Spoiler Alert!
Jilted wife Tanya Branning will bury her cheating husband alive with the help of her sometime love interest Sean Slater in an explosive new EastEnders plot.
The heartbroken mother of three, played by Jo Joyner, recruits Sean (Robert Kazinsky) to help her take revenge on Max after discovering he had affair with his daughter-in-law Stacey (Lacey Turner).
The cast were spotted shooting the dramatic scenes in Hertfordshire last night, which see Sean dragging Max's limp body through the woods.

The burial comes after Tanya meticulously devises a plan for retribution which sees her seduce and drug him.
But it's all too familiar for Max, played by Jake Wood, whose father Jim Branning buried him alive as a child.
A BBC source told The Sun: "Viewers will have to wait to find out whether Max lives or dies."

http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/02_01/maxtanyabbc_468x310.jpgRevenge: Tanya Branning's relationship with Jake Wood's character Max becomes increasingly tense over amid their custody dispute
Max's torrid adultery was exposed in an episode on Christmas Day, attracting 14 million viewers.
The couple's relationship becomes increasingly tense as the bitter battle over custody of children Abi, Lauren and baby Oscar continues to escalate.
Joyner, 29, said: “Tanya is worried Max could take the kids. He's capable of being nasty to get what he wants. He disgusts Tanya, she doesn't want him back - and feels he is out to hurt her because of that.”
The scenes will air on BBC at Easter.
Being buried alive?! :ninja: Scary.
I'm glad Sean is involved, seems much more believable than Tanya doing it on her own, or Jack being involved.

ok i am guessing that the divorce proceedings and custody has pushed Tanya over the top.. I was also wondering if Clare had something to do with it as well,, since she is out to nab her a man with moola and she does not seem to care who gets hurt in the process .
So its true, this is going to be very interesting
This is a bit far fetched, surely? And not something she could do by herself so will Sean lend a hand? Should be interesting viewing though.
You read it here first :lol:
I'm still finding all this hard to beleave.

I agree ... As much as I wanted it to be true, I didn't think for a minute that it would be, but seeing the pictures etc shows it must be! Can't wait, even though it's not til Easter :(
At first I thought, way too farfetched but I think it will be very interesting now
I think it sounds good. Tanya hates Max now and she'll have a willing accomplice in Sean, who hates him too. Plus he is leaving at the end of the year so they don't really have to worry about the comeback too much as Sean will probably take the wrap for it and go down for Tanya.

I can't help thinking its a bit farfetched - sounds like Chelsea having Sean arrested for attempted murderr just because he ended their relationship in favour of her stepsister - People like that are not worth risking prison for.
Having read what Max does next i don't think it is that farfetched. Tanya is close to losing it all and Max has made a complete idiot of her. She is pretty desperate and all normal logical thoughts go out the window.

13-02-2008, 14:15
wow even though i have read it in black and white, i still think its a bit too much. okay she's hurt and betrayed by he husband but serously burying him alive, she should at least think about her kids in all this, they are the ones who will suffer at the end of the day.
Its just so unlike tanya

I agree, it does seem unlike Tanya. I suppose she's just not thinking about her actions, as she's so angry.
I think this is a good storyline especially with this happening to him also when he was a child. Cant see Max dying tho which is a shame cos i dont like him at all. I dont think at that point in time when she decides the bury him alive she will be thinking of her kids but of her own pain and revenge.

Infact, I'd bring my own shovel along and help bury him!!! :lol:
SCORNED Tanya Branning agrees to take back her love rat husband Max – but all is not what it seems.
Max doesn’t know the blonde mum-of-three is plotting her revenge…
She wants to clean Max out of his cash but first she must convince him all is forgiven.
And as our exclusive picture shows the warring couple talk through details of their reconciliation over a cosy lunch at Walford restaurant Fargo’s.
Tanya tells Max if she is ever going to trust him again then he needs to prove it by signing everything over to her.
But what Max doesn’t know is she’s planning to run off with her lover Sean Slater.
An EastEnders insider said: “Tanya does a good job of convincing Max she wants him back.
“As you can imagine the whole Square is shocked at her U-turn.
“But what they don’t know is she’s been plotting her revenge with Sean.
“The couple plan to take Max for everything they can then set up home away from Walford with his three kids.
“Tanya wants Max to wake up one morning and discover that they’ve gone – without any warning.
“She believes that it will be the best way to get her revenge.
“He humiliated her once too often and she’s determined to make him pay.
“It’s going to be a very interesting time, especially where Sean is concerned.
“He’s got to watch Max move back in.
“And we all know how volatile he can be. Tanya will certainly have her work cut out if she’s going to succeed with her plan.”
BBC1 viewers will be able to catch Tanya and Max talk through details of their reconciliation a week tomorrow.
I wonder how this fits in with the burying stuff?

Tanya will lull Max into false security and hes going to be puffed up like a peacock thinking hes WON,, that is how i see if fit.. She will get him right where she wants him then she will SWOOP down on him like a bird of prey,,
Hey Pink Banana Ill bring my ax too to make sure all the roots are broke away and we can dig deep and bury him deep,, man I hate this guy with a passion :sick:

be over by easter... so only 3 more weeks
Apparently Max fakes his own death, Tanya frames Sean, Sean is arrested and Tanya blabs about him having been involved in his dad's death! Max then comes back.
If this is true, I feel sorry for the guy and Tanya should be ashamed.

but why does tanya do all that to sean - what did he do to her except trust her and care for her
I would not be surprised if she does this to get back at Stacey and destroy her family. Sean isn't totally innocent as he is involved in the burial thing but i can't believe she would do this to him.
To Tanya, it seems like Sean is just disposable in her war with Max.

He knew about Max and Stacey and did not tell her, that is what she cannot forgive him. He is a bully anyway and she is better off without him (ouch, please don't hit me all at once) :lol:

Personally I don't think it was his place to tell Tanya... He had his sister to support and he did tell tanya to leave max and come away with him that he would look after her but she turned him down.
Tanya is clearly just using him and Sean does love her... I feel sorry for him in all this.

16-03-2008, 02:32
yeah thats exactly what i thought when i first heard and i still do think its a bit too much..........even for eastenders.
He had an affair and betrayed her trust is that any reason to rid him of his life and her kids of their father - its so untanya like
Lizzie Brookes
16-03-2008, 04:18
Sean is the most decent out of the three despite his problems and Tanya doesn't deserve him - strionging him along. She should either divorce Max and be with Sean or give things anotyher go with Max. I'm not bothered which. I'm surprised Sean agrees to this, having spent three weeks in prison for a crime he didn't commit. I know Sean did not tell her but he only found out the eve of the wedding to be fair and he did promise Stacey not to. It was Stacey herself who dropped Sean in it with Tanya like a selfish cow. Since the affair was over months ago, I think they should all move on from it. Tanya should take a leaf out of Bradley's book. He is not wasting time getting useless revenge. He's being polite to Stacey and ignoring Max. Tanya should do something similar.
Lizzie Brookes
16-03-2008, 04:19
Yes, I feel sorry for Sean too. He loves Tanya so much.
I second that. I never thought much of Sean before because of his treatment of Deano and his general violence etc but he truly loves Tanya and is a good brother to Stacey.

He does not die because I believe that Sean get set up for the abduction and imprisonment and Tanya apparently lets him carry the cane. :thumbsdow

Does she! So she has been using him all this time.
Does anyone know when Max comes back into it?
so does anyone know if tanya went back and let Max out or is it more likely that Sean went back and set him free once Tanya dumped him? I'm guessing that they didn't leave him to die anyway! Would be stupid if they did!
If he does come back and Tanya tried to set Sean up surely Max wouldn't let Tanya get away with it?
From what i can make out. Max is leaving for a month or so on paternity leave so he will be back. I think he will have escaped somehow n then when Tanya least expects it will come back n kinda make out like he is haunting her (dunno weva this is stupid or right)
*-Rooney-*
24-03-2008, 11:12
so maybe tanya goes back to set him free and hes already gone.
can't wait to see what happens, it says in TV Easy for tonights episode that max makes one last attempt to contact someone. he must have his phone and can only see him calling Jack - no one else wld answer his calls wld they??????:searchme:
