Greg Jessop
Greg Jessop is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Stefan Booth. He was introduced as the fiancé of Tanya Branning (Jo Joyner), and first appeared on screen on 1 October 2010 to work on the reconstruction of The Queen Victoria public house. In February 2011 it was announced that filming had commenced for Greg and Tanya's upcoming wedding in April 2011. However, it was unconfirmed if they would actually marry, meaning that the couple's future would hang in the balance until the time of broadcast. Greg and Tanya's wedding was branded the "swankiest wedding the show's seen". On 15 April 2011, Greg and Tanya wed, just before hearing that Tanya's ex-husband Max Branning (Jake Wood) and their daughter Abi Branning (Lorna Fitzgerald) had been involved in a car accident. Joyner has warned that Tanya could break Greg's heart. Greg has been described as "gorgeous", "loyal" and a "himbo with a good heart".
Joyner opined that Greg was right for Tanya, saying, "She'll be safe with Greg. He's the right man for Tanya at the moment". Booth said that he was "pleased" that his character was involved in some of the soap's biggest dramas. Digital Spy held a poll asking people who they thought Tanya should be with. Greg came second, with 35.2% of the vote. Booth told Digital Spy that Greg would fight for Tanya with the possibility of a punch up between Greg and love rival Max. In June 2011, it was announced that Greg would leave EastEnders at the end of his storyline. Greg departed on 12 August 2011. After his departure, Booth confirmed that Greg would return. He returned for a single episode on 21 October 2011. Booth admitted he was "disappointed" after EastEnders bosses decided to axe his character. The door was left open for a possible return.
Greg is introduced as Tanya's fiancé and a rival of Tanya's ex-husband Max, and a spokesperson for the programme commented, "Max has his fair share of women but he still has a soft spot for Tanya despite all they have been through. Don't be too surprised if he makes mincemeat out of Greg." Booth, who was initially on a short-term contract to appear in the show, said, "I'm absolutely delighted to be coming into Albert Square. Even as a kid, [...] we'd all sit in front of the telly watching EastEnders. Jo Joyner is a splendid actress to work with and I can't wait to get my teeth into the exciting storylines ahead." Booth revealed in a Digital Spy interview that his contract had been extended and he had filmed scenes for January 2011. Booth commented that it was "refreshing" to play Greg, who is a nice character. He commented: "Greg is probably one of the few happy characters in the Square and [Tanya] is his whole world. I think that's nice to see in the soap. I love playing bad boys but this has been a refreshing change." Booth used to play villain Jamie Nash in the Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks. Booth made his first appearance as Greg on 1 October 2010.
The character's profile on the official EastEnders website describes him as gorgeous and loyal with a feminine side, and he cares about his looks, having regular work outs, manicures and exfoliation treatments. He is not a womaniser as his mother, Moira, showed him how to treat women properly. He is good with Tanya's children Abi, Lauren and Oscar (Charlee and Neo Hall).
Move over Ryan Malloy, there's a new piece of eye candy in town! Tanya Branning's husband, Greg is a Walford hottie and is turning heads like Bianca Jackson's fashion sense. He's gorgeous, loyal and a got a buff body to boot - he's a sure step up from Max!

Soaplife called him "a genuinely nice guy with no skeletons in his closet". Booth told the magazine that Greg likes being a father to Tanya's children and that Tanya "completes him." He told Digital Spy that Greg adores Tanya and she has probably not had the kind of affection from Max that she gets from Greg. When Greg and Tanya move to Albert Square, Booth told Soaplife that Greg sees no reason why he and Max cannot live in peace as neighbours. Joyner opined that Greg was right for Tanya, saying, "She'll be safe with Greg. He's the right man for Tanya at the moment. Women like Tanya can't help but love a wrong 'un though, so I do worry that Greg might turn out to be too nice. Poor Greg! But at the moment she's happy."
Greg left the soap on 12 August 2011. Booth said that Greg would return to the soap after his departure. Greg returned for one episode on 21 October to conclude his storyline. Upon his one episode return, Joyner said she was "surprised" when she found out Greg would turn his back on her. Joyner told Inside Soap: "Tanya gets carried away as she talks to him. Tanya wants some support, but Greg won't give it to her. He says, 'I've got to go, the car's on the meter'. I mean, come on! Who ever had a car on a meter in Albert Square? I think that says it all, really. He's a bit rubbish. It's a surprise, because I thought Greg would be the one who'd stick around and help out. But you know what? He actually doesn't owe Tanya a thing, does he? Maybe he's grown some balls. He'd be a complete mug to come back and nurse her through this."
