She was Max Branning's long suffering wife. She loved him, he loved her but he just couldn't help himself cheating. Jo Joyner joined EastEnders in 2006  - and the chemistry between Jo and Jake as Max and Tanya was instantly electric. They quickly became one of the most popular couples in British soap and it felt like they and their kids had always been in Albert Square. Here Ashley Byrne is joined by our own Soapy Simon to take Jo through her turbulent times as Tanya.
