Age: 29 Played by: Catrin Powell
Where is she now?
Left after finding out that her husband Moz had slept with Ruth Lewis.
She worked as a cook at the unglamorous end of the market but she always wanted to go full time as a fitness instructor or aerobics teacher, which she did part time. She has a wealth of knowledge on fitness, health and slimming and is always happy to share it with others. She can be blunt about others' weight, size etc, but always in a helpful, constructive way. She was thrilled when she got her job at Ruth's Diner which was a definite step up from the hospital kitchen she was working in before.
She loved Moz and was proud of his talent, and charm - despite his lack of success. She resigned herself a long time ago to the fact that he was never going to be famous and she was waiting for him to realise it too.
She always suspected minor infidelities on his part but when she discovered his fling with Hannah, she was furious. Not only was Hannah underage, but she's the daughter of their friends and her boss. Tanya gathered the strength to chuck Moz out of their house but when he returned with an engagement ring and an apparently sincere desire to put the past behind him, she took him back.
After things blowing up with Hannah and her family in Series 5, Tanya told Moz to get lost and was determined to get on with her life and not be treated like that again. She bought some self-help books of the 'you are a strong, confident woman' type and trys to believe them. She still harboured a grudge against Hannah even though her rational side realised that if it hadn't been Hannah, Moz would have been unfaithful with someone else soon enough. She continued working with Ruth and found her support invaluable.
She had a brief relationship with Reuben, Debbie's ex, but soon realised that he's just as self-absorbed as Moz. She moved on to Joe, and a surprise night of passion with a threesome of Joe and Owen. It wasn't meant to last, though, because Tanya left Bryncoed at the end of series 6 to make a new start.
