Tonight’s episode of Eastenders was full of scenes that fans and viewers have been waiting for as the affair of the year finally came to a head and everything ‘came out in the wash’.

Yesterday’s episode of Eastenders saw Garry and Dawn on their stag and hen nights. Dawn admitted to Manda, Shirley and Heather that she had slept with Phil and Shirley demanded that she tell Garry the truth.

Dawn had good intentions but when she saw Garry snuggling up with her daughter Summer, she just couldn’t bring herself to do it. Meanwhile, Garry called it a night too early into his stag do when he had a sumo themed punch up with best mate Minty, but it was the end of the episode that left fans gasping, as Minty told Garry he had something to tell him.
Tonight’s episode opened with a stunned looking Garry lying wide eyed on the sofa and from the look on his wounded face, it was clear he has discovered the truth about the affair Dawn had with boss and friend, Phil, just weeks ago.

As Dawn and the girls get ready, Dawn reveals that she never loved Phil and that Garry was always the one she wanted to be with, which lightens the mood and cues the girls to help each other get ready. Meanwhile, it seems Garry is still set on getting married as he meets his best man and friends in the Square, but Minty can’t help but notice he is waiting for Dawn to walk out of Shirley’s flat. As she does, she tries to hide, adamant that Garry seeing her in white before the ceremony will result in bad luck… ironically.

Garry screams at Dawn across the street and asks her if she loves him, and as she looks on confused, Garry turns to Phil and throws a punch which lands Phil in the face!
It seems kind hearted Garry was just biding his time, but will this loveable couple be able to get through this and live happily ever after?

In the last week, fans of UK soap Eastenders, have seen Zainab excited over receiving her sons A Level results and spent hours on the day itself preparing the perfect congratulatory dinner and party which was held in Fargos, the local classy restaurant, but it seems Denise had the same idea for her daughter Libby.

Over at Fargos in Thursday’s episode – after efforts to out do each other much to their kids embarassment – Denise and Zainab called it quits and shared a deep conversation about their new Oxford University student children Tamwar and Libby. As the pair agreed to return to their families, Zainab fell slightly and lost her footing. When Denise asked her if she was okay, Zainab shrugged it off as exhaustion and worry over Tamwar’s results. In Friday’s episode, Zainab flapped around the square trying to convince Ian to take over the buffet arranged for later in the day, but after Ian told her no, she headed to Christian’s who unbeknown to her is shacked up in his flat with her son Syed.

As he hid in the bedroom, Christian agreed to take over the buffet and to meet Zainab at the unit and it was later on in the kitchen that Zainab experienced another dizzy spell. Again, she blamed tiredness. Meanwhile, Masood is arranging a secret round the world trip that they will unfortunately never get to go as soap sources have just announced that Zainab is pregnant!

Friday’s episode of London based soap opera Eastenders saw a string of comical couplings, touching scenes and shocking revelations, and as Dawn and Garry’s wedding edges closer, viewers can’t help but wonder if it will go ahead according to plan.

 
In the morning inside the house that Garry, Dawn and Minty share, Minty finds Garry asleep in the living room on the sofa. After asking him if he has argued with Dawn, Garry brushes off his negativity and tells best bud Minty that he’s ‘saving himself’ for the wedding night – but Minty doesn’t look too convinced. Later on, Minty tells Garry that he has a brilliant and costly stag night planned for him, but Garry insists he just wants a few drinks in The Vic and asks him to ask Phil – the man his fiancé cheated on him with, unbeknown to Garry – if they can hold the stag night there.

Later at work, Garry is confused as to why Minty and Phil are constantly bickering, and handcuffs their feet together in the Arches and tells them to sort their differences!
They’re later unattached when Minty finally asks Phil about the stag night who then okays it. Meanwhile, after almost catching her son Syed half naked in Christian’s flat, Zainab badgers poor Christian to leave the house and help them with a catering gig. Christian agrees, and turns up late after Syed pep talks him on the phone.
When explaining what to do, Zainab goes dizzy (not the first time this weak) and loses her footing, but she insists it’s tiredness.

As beautiful soap show scenes unravel with the newly returned Jim and wife Dot, not so beautiful things are happening at The Vic when Phil loses it with Minty’s heckling – he tells Minty he ended it with Dawn, not the other way round, as Minty is left fuming.

Now the question is – will Minty tell his best friend the truth about his fiancé?

Soap: Eastenders

Character Name: Tania Branning

Actor Name: Jo Joyner

Eastenders UK soap character Tania Branning has had a rocky ride all thanks to her dysfunctional but loveable family since arriving in Albert Square.

During the first year, Tania caught her husband Max having an affair with his son’s fiancé, got together with nutty hard man Shaun who then helped her bury him alive for revenge, helped Max back out of his shallow grave, avoided him at all costs and then survived a few months in prison after taking the blame for her daughter’s attempted murder crime. Actress Jo Joyner is the first to admit she has found playing Tania exceptionally challenging.

Joy Joyner was best known (before appearing in Eastenders) as Beth from sexy nurse drama ‘No Angels’. Beth was known for her ruthless way with men, and slept her way through the hospital to try and find Mr Right, but 31 year old Jo was relieved to get into a more motherly role in the shape of married mum of 2 Tania Branning.

“I haven’t played a mum before, and it’s really strange” she said “Its great to play a much more mature role and character.” Tania has become a much loved part of the Eastenders crew and fans love her for her motherly, kind and strong ways, and Jo won over the press after she performed in heart breaking scenes following Tania and husband Max’s break up. Currently, Tania Branning and husband Max are back together and the pair and their two children Abi and Lauren are one big happy family.

Fans aren’t so keen on flirty Max Branning but actress Jo Joyner has said she believes the couple are made for each other. 31 year old Jo hopes to be on Eastenders for the long haul, so fans don’t have to worry about waving goodbye to the beloved Tania Branning yet!

Eastenders left everyone wanting more when Friday’s episode – full of drama, pay offs and family feuding – came to an end. Fans now await the next episode which air next Monday.

The start of the soap episode saw Archie and Jack – certainly an unlikely coupling – chatting sneakily in the square. Archie asks Jack quickly if ‘everything is on for later’ and a serious looking Jack nods, as Archie heads for the Vic. Inside, he begins pressing daughter Roxy about her sister Ronnie and ex childhood sweetheart, Joel. Roxy looks uncomfortable with the Spanish inquisition and after giving very little away, tells her father to leave the pair of them alone as they are old enough to look after themselves – but Archie’s face tells a million stories, and it’s clear this slimy character will not be letting go that easily. Roxy, on the other hand, has sister Ronnie in mind for other things – she asks her to babysit for her date with Ricky, but when Ronnie says no, she looks angry and looks as though she’s regretting sticking up for her to Archie.

Meanwhile, viewers then saw an excitable Ricky preparing for his date with Roxy that evening, as a clearly jealous Bianca seethes – she then has an idea. She flirts with Doctor Al in hope of getting a date with him, but he doesn’t reciprocate. She then stoops to a lower level and offers him free coffee for a week in exchange for a date, and he agrees!

Whilst both dates are kicking off, it is announced that Jack has sold the car lot to Archie, and when an angry Ronnie finds out her father’s deal, she goes looking for him – but unbeknown to her, Archie is presenting a massive wad of cash to Joel, asking him to leave Walford and leave Ronnie alone. Joel takes the cash and scarpers.

Will Joel be back to tell Ronnie about her father’s pay off? And how will the car lot run with Mr Evil in charge of it? Tune in Monday, at 8pm, on BBC1 for the next juicy Eastenders installement!

Soap: Eastenders

Character Name: Chelsea Fox

Actor Name: Tiana Benjamin

UK soap character Chelsea Fox first appeared in Eastenders’ Albert Square in May of 2006 when she started to date hard man Grant Mitchell after Jane Beale called off her affair with him. It was clear to all viewers that Chelsea was being used by Grant, and soon, Chelsea’s mother Denise and sister Libby arrived and Denise stopped Grant seeing Chelsea. Chelsea is known for her forward and overly confident ways and is never afraid to express her opinion or feelings, but shy 24 year old actress Tiana Benjamin who plays the pretty Eastenders regular says she was over the moon to be playing a character in Eastenders, even though the character is nothing like herself. “I’ve been a big fan of EastEnders since I was little and I was very excited to join the show” she said. “It’s one of those jobs that’s unlike any other!”.

Tiana grew up in Enfield, North London and attended the Anna Scher Theatre school in her teens and although a young actress of 21 when joining the show, Eastenders wasn’t her first role in a huge production. Tiana is also known for playing Angelina Johnson in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire where she is seen going to the ball with one of the Weasley twins. Tiana was asked to appear in the following film but declined as she wanted to concentrate fully on Eastenders.

Tiana’s character Chelsea has had a fair few hiccups since arriving in Walford, but Chelsea’s smile recently appeared back on her face when father Lucas turned up after many years. Denise, Lucas, Chelsea and half sister Libby now live as a big happy family, but apparently the drama isn’t over yet for Chelsea. After a history of drug use and bed hopping, is Chelsea ready to hang up her past?

Eastenders fans will be in for a great deal of surprise in the next few weeks. As we approach the middle of summer, Albert Square will most certainly be hotting up as Ronnie and Joel plummet further into drama.

It was almost inevitable that when sneaky Janine invited Ronnie’s ex boyfriend Joel to an imaginary business meeting that drama would strike the second Ronnie and Joel set eyes on each other. In the past week Joel and Ronnie have been catching up and somewhat rekindling their lost love, but when Archie told Joel he knew about his wife and children, he blackmailed Joel into taking a batch of money to leave and Joel fled. Although Ronnie continued to see and sleep with Joel after finding out about his marriage and fatherhood, she will soon start to regret her ignorance.

In the next few episodes of the infamous UK soap, fans will see a very confused Ronnie visiting Joel’s office to ask his whereabouts when he stands her up at The Vic. Fans will see Joel tell Ronnie about Archie’s pay off, before telling her that he is extremely unhappily married and wants to be with her. He tells Ronnie he is scared to end his marriage and is slightly scared of his overwhelming feelings for her.

Whilst the pair are engaged in a deep conversation in his office, Joel’s wife walks in and Ronnie leaves, reassured that his wife Stephanie has no idea who she is – nothing but a business associate.

Later on in the week, after Ronnie lets loose at father Archie for paying Joel off, she wanders into the pub to find she has guests waiting for her – Stephanie and her children.
Stephanie warns Ronnie to stay away and Ronnie is left torn between whether to do the right thing, or follow her feelings for her first love.

Will Joel leave is wife is the question on everybody’s lips and that question will be answered this summer in Eastenders!
