Another new family for EE

[eithne]

Jo Joyner is the latest actress to join the cast of EastEnders

The actress has been cast for the role of Tania Branning, wife of other new arrival Max Branning (Jake Wood). Tania is the newest Branning clan member since the arrival of Jim's grandson, Bradley (from Max's previous marriage), earlier this year.

Jo's character Tania is a determined young mum who loves her family and her occasionally wayward husband. She is smart and outgoing but does not always set out to be the centre of attention. She is also sensible enough to make sure she has got her own money and independence in case she ever has to leave Max again. Although Bradley is not her son, she and Max share two daughters together, Lauren and Abi, who have yet to be cast.

Of her new role, Jo said: "I'm really excited to be joining EastEnders and am looking forward to working with some great people including Jake Wood. The thought of joining the show feels really surreal and I can't wait to arrive in Albert Square!"

Tania Branning will arrive in the square in May.

It is going to get even more confusing with another new family on the way. There are this lot, and then the new black family as well. Another seven new characters.

Dawn, Dr Olivier, Bradley, Kevin, Deano, Carly, Honey, Jack, Courtney, Ben and Bert have all been new over the past few months. Now we have another new lot coming in.

By the way, I wonder where on earth are the Brannings all going to live? Seven people in Dot and Jims?

That's a lot of newbies in a short space of time!

I'd rather see more new blood in the Branning camp than the Beales or the Mitchells.

Bradley is IMO a great character, and maybe it's because he has two half sisters that he's so respectful towards women.
He's always polite to Dot, and restrained with Stacey. Maybe he doesn't take after his father. Looking forward to all this stuff happening soon.

They can all live in the bloody empty, huge,echoing B&B, at least at first - Patrick and Yolande need the money!

Yeah, it will be interesting to see how Bradley gets on with his sisters. I wonder does he even know them at all. I don't think that he really knows his father at all does he? I can't really remember anymore. There are just so many new characters to keep track of.

didn't they split the B&B back into 2 houses in order to foster kids not that they have done much of that and also raise the money to buy the Minute Mart. The house was meant to have sold but we never saw who was there and also the Allen house is empty

Wonder what Bradley's family will think of Stacey

Maybe that is it after all pipkin. That is something we've been puzzling over for a while!

Bradley keeps dropping hints about his dad being a bit of a toe-rag, and I'm looking forward to him turning up. Sounds like the Brannings have their share of troubles like everyone else, so they might not look down on Stacey as much as would be expected.
