Tanya's taken him back time and time again, but her forgiveness wore thin after his affair with Stacey – she buried him alive. She may run a beauty parlour, but that’s one extreme mud pack!

You can't keep a good man six feet under though, and after a brief exile, Max waltzed back to Walford - only to find Tanya giving his sexy sibling, Jack a bit of brotherly love. After another round of on again off again, Tanya saw the light, divorced naughty Max, and married his polar opposite – nice Greg.

But before she'd made it up the aisle, she was back under Max's spell and it wasn't long before Greg was out the door. We've seen another side of Max as he's supported her in her battle with cancer. However, it remains to be seen whether he can live with being a one woman man...
