'EastEnders' Tanya has a wild night - Spoiler Pictures

Published Tuesday, Nov 8 2011, 00:11 GMT | By Daniel Kilkelly | 10 comments
Tanya Jessop's behaviour begins to cause concern on EastEnders next week as she has a wild night out in order to avoid thinking about her illness.

The mum-of-three, who was diagnosed with cervical cancer earlier this year, decides that it's time to have some fun when Jane (Laurie Brett) turns up on her doorstep with a bottle of wine.

As the pair have a catch-up, Tanya (Jo Joyner) decides not to tell her friend about her current situation, but she does agree to head out for the night with Jane.

In the end, though, Jane has to change her plans so Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) suggests to Tanya that they could have a mother-daughter night out instead. Lauren's initially unsure whether her mum should be drinking while she's having treatment, unaware that Tanya has stopped attending her appointments.

Later, at The Vic, Tanya gets drunk and starts to make a fool of herself as she stumbles around the pub. Carol (Lindsey Coulson) is among the regulars who are alarmed by her antics, believing that Max's absence is causing Tanya to behave strangely.

As more punters begin to wonder what's going on with Tanya, events take a twist as the police turn up and Tanya drunkenly asks who ordered a stripper. Alfie (Shane Richie) is forced to quickly apologise to the police on her behalf and promises to deal with the situation.

With only Lauren aware of Tanya's cancer battle, nobody else realises the tragic truth - that the troubled blonde is searching for an escape as she struggles to cope with her illness. But could Tanya's antics lead to her secret being uncovered?

EastEnders airs these scenes on Tuesday, November 15 and Thursday, November 17 on BBC One.
