---------------------------------------------

Tina first appeared on-screen in January 2008. The character was central to many key storylines relating to issues such as perjury, abortion and surrogacy. Tina, amongst other jobs, was a barmaid at The Rovers Return pub. On her first night, a gas explosion at The Joinery bar causes a tram to derail and crash on to the Street, one of the most memorable storylines in the soap's history. Tina helps with the rescue effort as residents seek shelter at The Rovers.

In April 2013, it was announced that Michelle Keegan would be leaving the show and in October, it was announced that her character would be murdered. Tina was pushed from the balcony and beaten with a lead pipe, before dying of her injuries in June 2014. Tina's funeral took place on 23 June 2014, in which she made her final appearance in video footage.

In 2010, The Guardian listed Tina McIntyre as one of the 10 best Coronation Street characters of all time.
