But first, here's her first ever scenes from January 7, 2008
Now, let's remind ourselves of Tina McIntyre's storylines on Coronation Street. Here we go...
Tina and David start going out together. When Tina gets pregnant, Gail pays for the abortion. David finds out what his mum did and pushes her down the stairs. Things get complicated when Gail starts going out with Tina's dad Joe.
Tina goes out with Jason. They buy the flat above The Kabin.
Tina's dad Joe dies by drowning in the Lake District after his insurance scam goes wrong. Tina tells the cops that Gail killed her dad and bans Gail from attending Joe's funeral. Tina sinks into depression.
Tina meets her old friend Xin Chiang. Xin is being threatened with deportation so Tina suggests she and Graeme get married. Tina is devastated when Graeme falls in love with and runs away with Xin.
Tina starts dating Dr. Matt Carter until Tina realises that Matt is embarrassed by her working in a pub when he gets her a job interview at Nick's bistro. Tina throws a pint over Matt and dumps him.
Tina is bridesmaid for Rita on her wedding to Dennis. Rick Neelan kidnaps Rita and threatens to throw her into the canal if Tina doesn't return the drugs that Rick wanted Tommy to take to Amsterdam, so Tina gives them to him. However, as he tries to leave, he is stopped by the police and arrested.
Tina comforts Tyrone when he tells her that Kirsty is beating him up. Locals gossip that Tina and Tyrone are having an affair and there's a fight in The Rovers which results in Kirsty going into labour. Tina is then shunned by everyone who believe she has a vendetta against Kirsty.
Tina gets into a feud with Tracy Barlow, after Dennis carelessly pawns Rita's engagement ring at Tracy's shop, and Tina ends up throwing a brick through the shop window at Barlow's Buys.

Wonder if Liz will put a picture of 'Me Best Barmaid' next to Betty 'the landlady' on the wall in the Rovers. It beggars belief how this rude, beligerent downright lazy member of the bar staff ever held down that job.
This was interesting to me, because I have blocked out all of Tina for the last three years as I really never cared for the character from the beginning, and then really started finding myself very annoyed with her and muting if watching live, and FF if watching catch-up. I do see, from this, that the character did follow a path. Some stories and characters just don't grab me, Tina's was one.
That revisiting of Tina's first scenes displays the sort of brilliant writing that's all too rare on the show nowadays. Why were there not more such scenes in the waiting room of the medical centre? There still could be, only with Deidre instead of Gail behind the desk (although sadly no Betty). It's the perfect location for the older cast members to have scenes together, instead of confining them to the Rovers or else the counter at the Kabin.
