Talk:Tanya Branning

message: Please do not change Tanya's name to Tanya Cross until it is proved that Max and Tanya's divorce is declared absolute on screen.Alex250P (talk) 23:26, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, her name won't necessarily change even then — her boyfriend is a Branning, and so are her daughters, so she'll probably keep it IMHO. We'd have to wait for an on-screen (or BBC.co.uk) reference that she's reverted to her maiden name before we change it. DBD 13:15, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: What is it with some peoples obsession with changing Tanya's surname.  Many people still use their former married name when divorced. Douglasnicol (talk) 01:33, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not  for a woman to automatically change back to her maiden name in the UK. Her legal name would still be that of her ex-husband. anemone│projectors 10:17, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, that's what I was saying.  I suppose you could get it changed by deed poll or some other means, but it's not automatic. Douglasnicol (talk) 17:53, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Obviously some people can't take the hint.  Tanya's name will not automatically revert to Cross because of her divorce, quit changing it to Cross. Douglasnicol (talk) 17:30, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: The one with Tanya on the cover? –AnemoneProjectors– 20:00, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep. I didn't think to look inside, but I assume the story was mostly about Jo Joyner's new show. - JuneGloom  Talk 20:23, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Well it had Tanya and her three kids, and said something about her being a mother (on and off screen). Oh wait, was it this - Jo Joyner: 'Mum was the best teacher I could have'? Well I'd think there would be more than that in the magazine. –AnemoneProjectors– 20:53, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Does the decree nisi end the marriage? Or does the decree absolute do that? DBD 00:35, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: So are they married or divorced or what?! AnemoneProjectors (talk) 17:32, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

text: How do you know they cancelled their decree absolute? Did they not receive it and cancel the divorce between the nisi and the absolute? This was never referenced on screen, so how do you know? AnemoneProjectors (talk) 18:28, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Though I'm sure you're right as I can't see EastEnders writers ever giving them a second wedding, so it obviously happened off screen and they are just assumed to have cancelled it. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 18:29, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Decree nisi 

message: For the last time, Tanya is arrested and she is charged with Max's attempted murder. DO NOT remove that information again. If you dont believe me then you can apologise later. Zacitty (talk) 20:06, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't personally been reverting your edits, or even keeping too close an eye on this article, but generally when making assertions about future storylines, it helps if you can cite a reliable source. Unless you can reference the material you're adding, it's likely to be continually reverted until such time it actually happens on screen. Frickative 20:12, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The original edit did have a reliable source but when it was reverted three times I gave up. Zacitty (talk) 20:14, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Ahh, is  this the reference you mean? Correct me if I'm wrong, the article's seen a lot of traffic in the past fortnight so the revision history is pretty lengthy. If it is that one, then Walford Web is generally not considered an appropriate source as it's a fansite. However, as it looks like their spoilers are copied directly from the BBC Press Office, if you can source the same thing to there then it shouldn't be a problem. Frickative 20:23, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that is the one yeah. I only check it semi-reguarly, and this time because the storyline is intruiging. Zacitty (talk) 20:28, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This new edit was completley wrong so I removed it. Zacitty (talk) 07:57, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  She is charged 

message: Do you think we actually should say she's leaving and returning in 2010? She's going to be gone for about a year. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 19:12, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I never knew it was so long, if it is about a year then perhaps her duration should be 2006-2009, 2010— Whoniverse93 talk? 19:16, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

text: Tanya is appearing in Christmas Day episode, so she hasn't gone yet. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 13:24, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: People are STILL changing the duration to 2006-09, 2010-.  Please stop it and stop editing against consensus.  If it continues the page will simply be locked.--5 albert square (talk) 20:31, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

message: It mentions somethig about the upcoming wedding in April 2011 but I didn't know Tanya and Greg were planning to get married at all.--The Ultimate Koopa (talk) 00:15, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Uh, the wedding has already passed, they got married in April.--5 albert square (talk) 00:25, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh dear. I think you may have missed quite a few episodes. They did get married in April.. It's June now.Rain the 1 BAM 01:31, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: My point, exactly. I knew they GOT marrIED, but I didn't know they were planning to get married. The point being, that the article is unbelievably out-dated, and that the fact that wasn't updated is completely stupid and lazy.--The Ultimate Koopa (talk) 19:42, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course, instead of choosing to insult your fellow editors, you could have taken 30 seconds to use the  template and  altered the tenses yourself. Frickative 20:18, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

text: The template was mostly in reference to the storyline section, which could do with an update to mention Tanya and Max's affair. I started to do it yesterday, but ran out of editing time. In fact, I'll move it down to that section now. Frickative 09:51, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  So, what's this about an upcoming wedding in April 2011? 

message: I watched last night's episode intently and didn't catch any mention of Tanya's father's name. Did I just not watch intently enough? ;-) –AnemoneProjectors– 10:28, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, Cora was holding a glass which stated: "Isle of Wight -- Bill Cross". Here is a picture :-) GSorby - Talk! 16:48, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It happens around the 28:50 mark. Though it is not specifically mentioned that he is Tanya's father. - JuneGloom  Talk 17:13, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It could be Cora's father for all you know.RaintheOne BAM 22:10, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see who else it could be. They were talking about their father previously GSorby - Talk! 22:26, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: If they never said it was Tanya's father, then who are we to assume it is? –AnemoneProjectors– 13:31, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bill 

message: I would like to request a move to Tanya Jessop. It is because Tanya is becoming known by Greg's last name. Also, Tanywa was from the East End. She has mentioned it, Cora described herself as "cockney", she met Max locally and Cora was described as an original East End matriarch.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.151.77.182 (talk) 07:04, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Tanya Branning is her common name. Google picks up far more hits for Branning than it does Jessop. Plus she's been known as Branning for five years and Jessop for less than one. And please find a source for Cora mentioning that she's "cockney" and the rest. GSorby – Ping 11:00, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Requested move

message: Someone changed Tanya back to Branning. I reverted this as she is still credited as Tanya Jessop, as shown here, 6 April's episode. Her next episode, however, on 19 April, shows her as Tanya Branning. How the heck is this even possible?! Do the producers think we're stupid or something? –AnemoneProjectors– 13:47, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh god, now Tanya's being credited as Tanya Cross!  I hope this is a mistake/blip like when Lola went from Pearce to Mitchell to Pearce! She's Tanya Jessop goddammit!!!! –AnemoneProjectors– 11:50, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: GSorby has changed the article but I'd like to see some discussion - why would she suddenly have changed her name? –AnemoneProjectors– 13:31, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think it should be Tanya Branning, that's what she is known for, and with her and Max getting married soon... — M.Mario (T/C)  18:17, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hmm, she may have changed it as her and Greg are now divorced (she did reference it a few months ago); but seems strange to revert to her maiden name for a matter of months. She would legally still be Tanya Lauren Jessop (nee Cross; Previously Branning) but if she has changed her name back then we would keep it... Alex250P (talk) 19:12, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: But we dont actually know that the Tanya is going to remarry Max and become a Branning again, even if the characters intend it (and remember, Jo Joyner who plays Tanya is taking a break from EE in the not too distant future...). I say lets leave things as they are for now and see if Tanya continues to be credited as Cross. If so, then the article should reflect that. It is not uncommon for a woman to reassume her maiden name after divorce after all... Bleaney (talk) 21:04, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Legally she would still be Jessop even after her divorce, unless she changed her name legally back to Cross. I think we should see what happens in the credits too... after all, Lola didn't stay credited as Mitchell for long before going back to Pearce. –AnemoneProjectors– 13:00, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Branning/Jessop 2012! 

message: She was credited as Cross on the credits from July 2012 right up until her last episode yesterday. What do you think? Tinamckintyre23 (Come and talk!) 10:57, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: If you're proposing that we rename the article, then no we shouldn't. She is still best known as Tanya Branning and had the name Branning for the majority of her time in the series. "Tanya Branning" gets 46,600 results on Google, while "Tanya Cross" gets just 25,200 results. In Google News, Tanya Branning also outnumbers Tanya Cross by a lot. If that's not what you meant, then please can you explain. –AnemoneProjectors– 18:15, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name change to Cross? 

message: Should be wait for a few episodes before adding her final appearance. I know her absence in tonight’s episode would imply that she has left but it doesn’t make sense that Abi would die and Tanya wouldn’t be there.  Aacfsftw (talk) 00:54, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
