Greg Jeremy Jessop is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera ''EastEnders'', played by Stefan Booth. He is 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. On 15 April 2011, Greg and Tanya wed, just before hearing that Tanya's ex-husband Max (Jake Wood) and their daughter Abi (Lorna Fitzgerald) have been in a car crash. Joyner has warned that Tanya could break Greg's heart. In June 2011 it was announced that Booth was leaving the soap at the end of his storyline, and Greg left on 12 August 2011. Booth confirmed that Greg will return. He returned for a single episode on 21 October 2011. Greg has been described as "gorgeous" and "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." In February 2011 it was announced that filming had started on location for Greg and Tanya's upcoming wedding in April 2011. However, it was unconfirmed if they will actually marry, meaning that the couple's future will hang in the balance until the time of broadcast. Greg and Tanya's wedding was branded the "swankiest wedding the show's seen." Booth said that he is "pleased" that his character is 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 will leave ''EastEnders'' at the end of his current storyline. Booth was apparently "disappointed" after ''EastEnders'' bosses decided to axe his character. The door was left open for a possible future return. ==Storylines== Greg is first mentioned in March 2010 at the funeral of Tanya's former stepson Bradley Branning (Charlie Clements) by Tanya's daughters, Abi (Lorna Fitzgerald) and Lauren (Madeline Duggan, later Jacqueline Jossa), who tell their father that Tanya is waiting for them outside with her new boyfriend. In June 2010, when Max visits, Tanya reveals that she and Greg are engaged. Greg comes to Albert Square with Tanya, who is visiting Lauren and Greg meets Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) who invites him to his illegal drinking den in the basement of The Queen Victoria. Alfie and Max, who is also there, suspect Greg is gay and Alfie jokes to Greg that Max has a crush on him. This causes animosity between them when they are locked in alone. Later, Max returns home and Tanya brings Greg to meet him, not realising they have already met. Greg then reveals Alfie has given him the contract to refurbish the pub. After a few days, Greg realises Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) has stolen some of his power drills. Tanya comes to Walford and introduces Greg to Jane Beale (Laurie Brett) and her husband, Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt), whom he quickly makes friends with. On the day of the pub's opening night, Greg reports that the electrics have failed and that his workers are unable to have the pub ready in time, much to the anger of Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) who accuses Greg of not trying hard enough. Greg and Tanya visit Walford after the pub is finished and become friends with Max and Vanessa Gold (Zoe Lucker), and are invited to the Brannings' for Christmas dinner. Tanya and Greg set a date for their wedding and Greg works for Zainab Masood (Nina Wadia) fixing the roof of her new restaurant the Argee Bhajee. Tanya and Greg then move to Roxy Mitchell's (Rita Simons) house in Albert Square to be closer to Lauren and Abi. Tanya opens the salon in their living room alongside Syed Masood (Marc Elliot), which annoys Greg. He agrees to buy Roxy's salon for Tanya as a wedding present. Greg invites Tanya's estranged mother, Cora Cross (Ann Mitchell) to the wedding and Tanya is annoyed but forgives him. At his stag party, he hears Max say that Tanya does not deserve Greg so Greg confronts him and later rips up his and Vanessa's invites. He takes Ian home and bumps into Jane who has just had a row with Tanya and is very drunk. Jane kisses Greg but he pushes her away and tells her to forget that it ever happened. Greg and Tanya marry and go on their honeymoon. After they return, Tanya begins an affair with Max. When she thinks she might be pregnant, she tells both Max and Greg, but a test shows she is not. Greg then hopes to have a child with Tanya, but discovers contraceptive pills. Lauren covers for Tanya by telling Greg they are hers. Greg is annoyed when Cora and Rainie come to stay. Tanya gets angry when Greg buys a rocking horse for a future child, and she later confesses to Greg that she does not want more children. Greg describes how he wants to hold his own newborn child in his arms and have someone to call him 'dad'. Tanya says that that is not what being a father is about, and says he is already being a father to her children. Greg reluctantly agrees. However, he discovers that Tanya is having an affair with Max and in disgust he leaves her and goes on holiday without her. While away, Greg sells the house to Janine Malloy (Charlie Brooks), forcing Tanya and her family to move out. Greg returns to Walford months later, having been called by Lauren. Tanya reveals her cancer to Greg but he is unable to handle it, so makes an excuse and leaves, leaving a hysterical Lauren behind. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Greg Jessop」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
