EastEnders character Vanessa Gold will reportedly attack Tanya Jessop when she discovers her affair with fiancé Max Branning.
Vanessa (Zoe Lucker) will storm into Tanya's home and punch her, resulting in the pair fighting on the floor in front of Tanya's son Oscar and husband Greg.
The News of the World suggests that Tanya (Jo Joyner) will end the affair after Max's brother Jack (Scott Maslen) finds out. Max (Jake Wood) dumps Vanessa and confesses all, leading to the fight.
"She hunts Tanya down to her house and forces her way in before attacking her," a source said. "There is nothing like a woman scorned but Tanya doesn't take it lying down. She gives back as good as she gets. It leaves little Oscar in a right state."
However, the Daily Star Sunday claims that Vanessa only discovers the affair when Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) decides she deserves to know the truth, following Max's promises that no-one else is involved in their split.
"Everyone remembers how Lauren exposed Max's affair with Stacey Slater - it was one of the soap's most dramatic episodes ever," another source said.
"So bosses decided it would be brilliant if she ruined her dad's love life all over again by telling Vanessa he's a cheat."
The scenes will air later this summer.
this was posted else where ....
EastEnders star Jake Wood has argued that his character Max Branning is still in love with ex-wife Tanya Jessop (Jo Joyner).
Viewers have seen Max and Tanya embark upon a passionate affair in scenes described as the BBC soap's "hottest ever".
The couple's marriage broke down after Max's fling with daughter-in-law Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) was exposed in 2007, but Wood insisted that his Albert Square alter ego was more interested in a reconciliation than just another affair.
"We've seen this before with Max," Wood told The Mirror. "He enjoys the machinations of an affair. His relationship with Tanya is an emotional game of cat and mouse. But I think he does love her. He's desperate to get her back.
"I love working with Jo Joyner. That relationship between Max and Tanya has always felt very real, so I'd love them to get back together and be a family again."
Wood also attempted to distance himself from his EastEnders character, claiming: "I'm nothing like Max. I'm a happily married man who would never have an affair."
Wood previously shared his excitement about a "big twist" in Max and Tanya's affair.
EastEnders' troubled blonde Vanessa Gold could find herself at the centre of Michael Moon's schemes before she makes her departure from Albert Square.
Forthcoming scenes will see twisted Michael (Steve John Shepherd) prey on Vanessa when she's left vulnerable after splitting from Max Branning, according to Soaplife.
The magazine states that Michael gives Vanessa a shoulder to cry on at the B&B, before trying to convince her to help him get his revenge against dad Eddie (David Essex).
"He tells Vanessa that Eddie's a liar and a cheat like all the others and he destroyed Michael's mother," a Walford source told the publication. "Then he pulls out a wad of cash and he offers to pay her to break his dad's heart."
It's not yet clear whether Vanessa will agree and, if so, whether she can go through with it, but the scenes in question are expected to air later this month.
EastEnders' executive producer Bryan Kirkwood previously teased: "[Vanessa's] got a really exciting storyline still in store. It kicks off over the summer and there's a big change of direction for the character that will really give Vanessa some momentum for the time she's got left in Albert Square."
EastEnders star Zöe Lucker has predicted that Tanya Jessop will bear the brunt of Vanessa Gold's fury if she discovers the truth about her fiancé Max's infidelity.
Vanessa currently fears that her relationship with Max (Jake Wood) is in crisis due to his distant behaviour, but she is still unaware that he has been cheating on her with Tanya (Jo Joyner).
"She can feel she's losing him, but she doesn't know who to," Lucker told All About Soap. "Every time she talks about the wedding, he's totally uninterested. It's humiliating for her."
Confirming that Vanessa does not suspect Tanya, the actress continued: "If she had any suspicions, she'd be stalking them! Tanya's had dinner with them and they've gone out drinking in the pub. Although they're not pals, Vanessa doesn't see Tanya as a threat and would never dream that she could betray her like that."
Asked who Vanessa would blame most for the affair, Lucker replied: "Tanya, I think. It's always the other woman who gets the blame, isn't it? I don't know if Vanessa would want revenge, but she'd make her feelings known. Tanya and Max should be wary!"
EastEnders viewers will also see Vanessa smash up Max's home as the situation reaches its climax later this month.
Speaking of the dramatic scenes, Lucker commented: "Vanessa's in such a fragile place. She's in the process of having a breakdown and she's losing control."
Yesterday, it emerged that Vanessa is to find herself at the centre of Michael Moon's schemes in a future plot when he asks for her help in getting revenge against his dad Eddie.
Vanessa will depart screens in the autumn but EastEnders bosses are leaving the door open for her return.
"Vanessa will depart screens in the autumn but EastEnders bosses are leaving the door open for her return. "
why would the door be left open for her??? What would she have to go back to ??? I presume Jody will eventually follow her mom ????
EastEnders star Zöe Lucker has revealed that there are "fantastic" things in store for her character Vanessa Gold before she makes her departure from Walford.
Vanessa will be leaving screens later this year, but show bosses have promised that she will be at the centre of drama for the remainder of her time on Albert Square.
Lucker told Inside Soap: "I've got three weeks of filming left and I'm really sad about it. The scripts I'm getting right now are fantastic - so I'm really able to strut my stuff as Vanessa."
A new direction for the character kicks off next week when Vanessa has a violent meltdown after discovering that her fiancé Max Branning (Jake Wood) has been sleeping with his ex-wife Tanya Jessop (Jo Joyner).
Lucker explained: "Vanessa's devastated. She's given up a lot to be with Max - not to mention running around after his kids and keeping his house nice. The whole thing is awful for her, and humiliating.
"Of course, she totally blames Tanya. Vanessa can't understand how a woman could do such a terrible thing to another woman. She never saw Tanya as a threat, or dreamt she could betray her like she has."
Discussing why Vanessa's reaction is so extreme, the actress added: "Vanessa's having a breakdown. She's losing control and she doesn't like being in that position at all."
EastEnders fans will also see Vanessa start to become caught up in Michael Moon's schemes in next week's episodes.
EastEnders star Steve John Shepherd has explained why his villainous character Michael Moon recruits Vanessa Gold into his schemes in a forthcoming storyline.
Next week's episodes of the BBC soap see Michael grow closer to Vanessa following the breakdown of her relationship with Max Branning. He then spots an opportunity to cause trouble, promising her a wad of cash if she agrees to break his dad Eddie's heart.
"Michael sees a weakness in Vanessa after the Brannings disown her," Shepherd told Inside Soap. "She has no money, no job and no security. He thinks, 'That's absolutely perfect - she can be my puppet'."
He continued: "Michael has seen a flicker of romance between Eddie and Carol, and he wants to entirely extinguish that. So he's hoping that he can thrust Vanessa in Eddie's path to distract him from Carol."
Meanwhile, Zöe Lucker - who plays Vanessa - admitted that her alter ego is led down the wrong path by Michael when he starts discussing Eddie's past.
"He tells her Eddie killed his mum, and Vanessa's stunned. She thought Eddie was nice," Lucker said.
"Vanessa isn't a callous woman, but she's in a vulnerable position. At the end of the day, she's a survivor and will do whatever it takes in order to get by."
EastEnders' new plot for Michael, Vanessa and Eddie begins next Tuesday.
I think Zoe Lucker has been wasted as the character Vanessa. She could have been one of the all-time great EE bitches, if Footballer's Wives was anything to go by.
Guess they wanted to concentrate on Janine as the bitch without giving her competition
EASTENDERS' Darren Miller will leave Walford after seven years when he sensationally calls off his wedding to beautiful Jodie Gold.
He decides at the last minute he can't go through with it after getting drunk at his stag do and sleeping with troubled Lauren Branning.
Racked with guilt, Darren tells fiancée Jodie at the end of next month and admits he isn't fit to be her husband. A source told TV Biz: "Darren makes a terrible mistake and can't keep it from Jodie.
"He doesn't mean to break her heart, but he does. With no Jodie and no prospects, what has he got to hang around Walford for? He decides on a clean break."
Charlie G. Hawkins, 20, has played Darren since 2004.
Since then his character has run the car lot, got engaged to Libby Fox, turned out to be the secret dad of Heather Trott's baby and been circumcised to win Jodie's love.
When his departure was announced in April, Charlie said he wanted to "chill out and enjoy being a normal 20-year-old". He added: "I can barely remember life before EastEnders. It will be great having no structure to my life and not having to learn lines."
The source said of Darren's exit plot: "This way, the door remains open for him to return."
Sleeps with Lauren never thought that would happen
EastEnders' Darren Miller will make his departure from Walford after cheating on fiancée Jodie Gold, a report has claimed.
The car salesman, played by Charlie G Hawkins, has a one-night stand with tearaway Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) after getting drunk on his stag night, according to The Sun.
It is thought that Darren is later left guilt-ridden over what he has done, prompting him to come clean with Jodie and call off their wedding before departing Albert Square.
"Darren makes a terrible mistake and can't keep it from Jodie," an EastEnders source told the newspaper. "He doesn't mean to break her heart, but he does.
"With no Jodie and no prospects, what has he got to hang around Walford for? He decides on a clean break."
The insider added: "This way, the door remains open for him to return."
Hawkins announced his decision to leave EastEnders in April. He has been part of the soap's cast since 2004.
Meanwhile, Jodie - played by Kylie Babbington - has been tipped to remain in the Square as she has "reasons to stay" following the departures of Darren and her mum Vanessa (Zöe Lucker).
Darren's EastEnders exit is expected to air in the autumn.
Wonder whether Jodie's reasons to stay are connected with the conditions her dad Harry has laid down to help with the wedding costs?
Me neither. But then she will fall pregnant and is unsure if the baby is by Darren. Nice little sibling for Geroge. Or Ryan is the daddy. Nice little sibling for Lilly ( dad's ex- mistress, it doesn't get any better) Anyway both are from our screens in the autumn....
I'm not very pleased to hear that Jodie is staying in the Square. :thumbsdow
I guess Jodie will be sticking around and maybe become either Anthony or Tyler's love interest ??? I was wondering tho are the two Moon brothers gonna stick around ????:hmm::hmm:
VANESSA Gold makes a splash as she leaves EastEnders - getting soaked by a cab.
In her final dramatic scenes Vanessa, played by Zoe Lucker, 37, is drenched as she is left stranded after a business transaction with Eddie Moon goes horribly wrong.
Eddie and Vanessa argue over plan
David Essex, 64, who took the role of Eddie this year, is also leaving the BBC1 soap and seals Vanessa's fate moments before her exit.
It all starts when Eddie goes to pick up the businesswoman in his car. In an undercover deal between the two, she throws him a bag of money but is shocked when he unpacks her luggage from his boot and dumps it on the street.
Wheeler dealer ... Eddie leaves Vanessa stranded
As baffled Vanessa frantically screams at him, Eddie hands her the cash back and leaves her stranded before she is unceremoniously drenched. Normally people leave the Square IN a taxi, so this must be a first.
EastEnders' Vanessa Gold will face fresh heartache later this month when her estranged husband Harry puts her in another awkward situation.
Harry - played by Linal Haft - hasn't been on screen since late 2010, but we see him again briefly at the end of August as Vanessa swallows her pride and makes contact with him.
After losing Max's financial support when he dumped her, Vanessa (Zöe Lucker) gets in touch with Harry because she needs his help to raise funds for Jodie's wedding, according to a report in All About Soap.
Harry later sits down for a meal with Vanessa, Jodie and Darren - but it's not long before he shows his true colours once again, declaring that he'll only pay for the wedding if Vanessa doesn't turn up for the ceremony… That is what I thought would happen, not fair :angry:
It's clear that Harry still wants to punish Vanessa for leaving him, but will she agree to respect his wishes? Will Jodie and Darren have to scale back their wedding plans? Or could Vanessa become further embroiled in Michael Moon's schemes to make the money she needs?
EastEnders airs Harry's ultimatum on Tuesday, August 30 at 7.30pm on BBC One.
..
Perfectionist as always eh Alan?
EastEnders star Zöe Lucker has revealed that she loved filming her character Vanessa Gold's recent meltdown scene.
Earlier this month, Vanessa completely lost control by smashing everything in sight at Max's house after discovering that he had been cheating on her with ex-wife Tanya.
Reflecting on the dramatic moment, Lucker told The One Show: "It was really good fun, actually, doing that! It was one of those things where as a person, you think, 'It'd be quite nice at times to be able to just completely trash a room!'
"The director of that episode, a guy called Karl Neilson, is absolutely brilliant and he basically just set the whole thing up for one take.
"So you've got all the cameras in the right positions, he made sure that everybody was sure nothing was going to go wrong and then he said, 'Right, in your own time, just go for it!'"
Lucker confirmed that she has now filmed Vanessa's exit scenes but would be interested in a future comeback.
"The door has been left open so that's all good, because I did absolutely love my time there," she explained. "I finished two weeks ago and was really sad - sad to say goodbye to everybody and sad to say bye to that character.
"I've had such a lovely run over the past couple of months. I sort of spent a year not doing that much, [though] it was great to work with Jake who plays Max. But as I say, these past few months I've been getting some really, really good storylines and getting to spread my wings and work with lots of different actors, who I think are brilliant."
Lucker joined the cast of EastEnders in March 2010.
Former EastEnders star Zöe Lucker has revealed that she was happy with the surprising circumstances surrounding her character Vanessa Gold's departure from the soap.
Vanessa's final EastEnders episode aired last night, showing her team up with new lover Eddie Moon for revenge against his son Michael (Steve John Shepherd), under the impression that they could then head to Spain together.
However, in a final twist, Eddie dumped Vanessa at the last minute and she felt unable to return to Albert Square as she feared the police were investigating her theft at the boxing gym.
Lucker has now insisted that Eddie's decision was the right one due to the way Vanessa had plotted against him with Michael earlier this year.
She told BBC Three's EastEnders: The New Moons: "Eddie did the right thing in leaving Vanessa, because he can't trust her.
"As much as I would have loved to have seen Vanessa and Eddie run off into the sunset, I appreciate why Eddie did that."
David Essex's final scenes as Eddie also aired last night, but executive producer Bryan Kirkwood and scriptwriter Christopher Reason both expressed hope that he may return one day to continue his story with Michael.
Kirkwood said: "The man's a proper gent and he's a proper star, and I'm very hopeful that we haven't seen the back of Eddie or David in EastEnders."
Reason added: "Of course I'm sad to see Eddie Moon go, but I'm also hopeful that he'll come back. So stick around because the final showdown in [his] story has yet to be played."
No doubt she would like to come back too and I think it could work
