Greg Jessop is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Stefan Booth. He is introduced as the fiancé of Tanya Branning (Jo Joyner), and first appeared on screen on 1 October 2010 to work on the reconstruction of The Queen Victoria public house. On 15 April 2011, Greg and Tanya wed, just before hearing that Tanya's ex-husband Max (Jake Wood) and their daughter Abi (Lorna Fitzgerald) have been involved in a car accident. Joyner has warned that Tanya could break Greg's heart. In June 2011, it was announced that Booth was leaving the soap at the end of his storyline, and Greg left on 12 August 2011. Booth confirmed that Greg will return. He returned for a single episode on 21 October 2011. Greg has been described as "gorgeous" and "loyal" and a "himbo with a good heart". Joyner opined that Greg was right for Tanya, saying, "She'll be safe with Greg. He's the right man for Tanya at the moment." In February 2011 it was announced that filming had started on location for Greg and Tanya's upcoming wedding in April 2011. However, it was unconfirmed if they will actually marry, meaning that the couple's future will hang in the balance until the time of broadcast. Greg and Tanya's wedding was branded the "swankiest wedding the show's seen." Booth said that he is "pleased" that his character is involved in some of the soap's biggest dramas. Digital Spy held a poll asking people who they thought Tanya should be with. Greg came second, with 35.2% of the vote. Booth told Digital Spy that Greg would fight for Tanya with the possibility of a punch up between Greg and love rival Max. In June 2011, it was announced that Greg will leave EastEnders at the end of his current storyline. Booth was apparently "disappointed" after EastEnders bosses decided to axe his character. The door was left open for a possible future return.
