5 years for possession of cocaine – her second offence –
she was previously arrested for being in possession and sentenced to community service
(Footballers Wives season 2 Episode 4). However, this time, Tanya is innocent – the cocaine was planted in her handbag
by her arch nemesis, Amber Gates (Footballers Wives season3 Episode 9)
Background
Was married to Earls Park captain and complete bastard, Jason Turner, until fellow
footballers’ wife, Chardonnay Lane-Pascoe, pushed him off a hotel roof (FW2Ep8). Then
married to Earls Park chairman, Frank Laslett, who died of a viagra induced heart-attack
(FW3ep6). Currently pregnant although the baby’s fatherhood is in question – it could
have been fathered by Frank or by current Earls Park captain, Conrad Gates.
More than anything else, Tanya is a survivor; a strong woman who knows what she wants and
will do anything to get it. Although she’s fiercely loyal to the few people who have
managed to win her friendship, cross her and she becomes the sort of enemy that nightmares
are made of – a predator who can pick out someone’s weakness at 100 yards and who is
cold, calculating and remorseless in her revenge. She’s also intelligent and resourceful
enough to manipulate a harmful situation to her advantage, but this strength is flawed by
her belief that without a man and her glamorous lifestyle, she’s nothing. Inside
Larkhall, she really will have nothing – no friends, no allies, just plenty of people
lining up to knock the darling of the tabloids off her luxury, designer pedestal.
In the last series of Footballers’ Wives…
With the ink on Jason’s death certificate barely dry, Tanya was blackmailed into
marrying Earls Park chairman Frank Laslett. Although Jason’s death robbed her of the
much-coveted role of captain’s wife, she hoped that marriage to Frank would elevate her
to loftier heights. However, although the idea of marrying a crumbling old sugar daddy was
a good one when he had loads of money for her to spend, it soon turned into the biggest
mistake of her life when she discovered that Frank’s bank account was not as bottomless
as she believed. Meanwhile, the man of Tanya’s dreams arrived in the form of new Earls
Park captain, Conrad Gates. After dispatching Frank by slipping Viagra into his scotch and
giving him a heart attack, Tanya managed to wrest Conrad out of the clutches of his wife,
Amber. Highly unstable at the best of times, Amber vowed revenge and planted a bag of
cocaine in Tanya’s handbag.
