Jo Joyner films final Enders scenes

EastEnders actress Jo Joyner has confirmed she has finished filming on the BBC One soap.

The actress, who plays Tanya Cross, tweeted today that filming was over and thanked her co-star Jake Wood, who plays her on-screen husband Max Branning.

“That’s a wrap! I am officially ‘that woman that use to play thingy in ‘Enders’! Thanks to the lovely @mrjakedwood for such a special time x” — Jo Joyner (@dollyjoyner)

It was confirmed last month that Joyner was to leave the show after seven years. The beeb said that she had originally intended to take a break of several months, but “upon reflection” has decided to go on ‘indefinite ‘leave’.

Tanya has been at the heart of some of EastEnders biggest storylines of recent times. Most notable was her uncovering her husband Max’s affair with Stacey Branning then taking revenge by burying him alive in a coffin as you do.
