Biography . 1991 - 2008 : Meeting David and abortion . Tina McIntyre was born on 18th February 1991 . Her back story remains mostly unknown . By 2008 , her parents Joe and Ann McIntyre had split up and Tina was living with her mum and step - dad in Weatherfield . In January , Tina had a chance encounter with David Platt while visiting the Rosamund Street Medical Centre about her tennis elbow . Tina was unaware that the receptionist there who she had been having trouble with was David ' s mum Gail . The pair started dating and within a week of the relationship , she had sex with David at his house , taking his virginity . After a few weeks , Tina found out she was pregnant . She was becoming tired of David ' s jealousy about her remaining friends with her ex - boyfriend Matt and decided to confide in Gail about the baby . Gail suggested that Tina should have an abortion and they agreed that David didn ' t need to know about it . To avoid a wait , Gail paid for a private operation and went along to support Tina when she had the procedure . David was perceptive enough to notice the change in Tina ' s behaviour afterwards but wrongly assumed that she had gone off him , so decided to save face by finishing with her first . When David found out about the abortion he confronted Tina and suggested they ran away together , but as news came out that Gail had fallen down the stairs at No . 8 , David confessed to Tina that he had pushed her during an argument about the abortion , and that he needed her to tell the police that he was with her when she fell , taking advantage of the fact that Gail had no memory of the incident . Tina was deeply unhappy at having been asked to lie to everyone but did as David asked , and as Gail ' s memory returned , the pressure became too much for Tina and she moved back into her own house , finishing with David for good . In Tina ' s absence , David was confronted with the truth by Gail and vented his anger in the street , smashing windows and damaging property . He was sentenced to four months in Larchfield Young Offenders Institute . In May , Tina fell out with her mum and got sacked from her job at the pound shop for poor timekeeping . Tina moved into No . 8 and got a job at Jerry ' s Takeaway in Victoria Street . She also visited David while incarcerated and the pair got back together upon his release . Unfortunately , David ' s pettiness soon ended the relationship again . Tina was furious to discover that David had been reading her e - mails to see what she had been saying about him to her friends . David tried to win her back by going out with Amber Kalirai to make Tina jealous . He was able to convince Tina to give their relationship another go . In October , Tina started work at newsagent The Kabin after quitting her job at the takeaway . When Dev Alahan bought the business from Jerry Morton , he offered Tina a part - time job at the newly named " Prima Doner " . Tina kept both jobs on . 2008 - 2009 : Trouble with the Windass family . Later that year , Tina secured an unemployed David a job for her dad Joe ' s kitchen fitting business . When the Windass family refused to pay for their new kitchen , Tina , David and Graeme Proctor ripped it out and burned it while the family were not at home . Within weeks the Windasses were the Platts ' new neighbours . Gary Windass fancied Tina and persistently tried to flirt with her , winding David up . In 2009 , David punched Gary , who had been harassing him , however David was quickly on the receiving end of a beating . Again , David called upon Tina , the only witness , to lie to the police , to tell them that Gary threw the first punch . Tina initially did so but as the court date got closer first the Windasses then Joe tried to persuade Tina to tell the truth . The pressure became too much and Tina left , returning only hours before court . In the middle of her testimony , Tina decided she couldn ' t lie for David and said that David started the fight . The result was Gary being found not guilty . In the aftermath of the court case , Tina broke once again broke up with David . He subsequently found out that Joe had been putting pressure on Tina because he had a kitchen deal with Len Windass , which had saved his ailing business . Tina moved back into her mum ' s house . 2009 - 2010 : Relationship with Jason and father ' s death . Throughout early 2009 , Tina was stunned to discover that her father had began a secret relationship with Gail Platt , who was the mother of Tina ' s boyfriend David . Both Tina and David were shocked and embarrassed by them and refused to acknowledge them as a couple . As Gail and Joe ' s relationship intensified , Tina and David ' s slowly got worse as Tina became tired of David ' s reckless behaviour and paranoia surrounding her friendship with Gary Windass . Tina finally dumped David , and rejected his offer of moving in with him . The split caused further tensions between David and Joe , who already had a fractious relationship , due to David believing that Joe was replacing Martin Platt ' s place in the household . As Tina began to distance herself away from the drama of the Platts , she began a job in The Kabin and formed a strong - if sometimes tedious - bond with Norris Cole and boss Rita Sullivan . While Tina enjoyed life as a single woman , her father Joe began to become severely depressed after a back injury left the already struggling kitchen fitter out of work and housebound . Unbeknown to Tina , Joe became reliant on his pain relief medicine and soon became extremely addicted to the substances . David discovered Joe ' s secret drug addiction and manipulated it in order to blackmail Joe into persuading Tina to get back with David . As Tina rejected the idea , David became angry at Joe for failing and began cruelly withdrawing use of his drugs . As Joe became more addicted to them , his debts began to spiral out of control and he began to get threats from local villain and loan shark Rick Neelan . Joe ' s debts and addiction were revealed when he smashed into the Rosamund Street Medical Centre in order to gain possession of the drugs , much to horror of Gail and Tina . Tina was relieved when Joe began to receive support for his addiction , however was unaware that Rick was continuing to harass him for the money he owed him . Tina came into the firing line of Rick ' s attentions and attempted to set fire to Tina ' s flat , however the flames were swiftly extinguished by Jason Grimshaw . In December 2009 , a drunk Tina angrily left the Grimshaw household following an argument with Jason , and met up with a handsome stranger in a bar . The pair got on well , and they kissed at the end of the night , although Tina backed away , feeling guilty . On Christmas Day , the stranger turned up at the Platts ' Christmas dinner , where it was revealed that he was in fact Nick Tilsley . Tina was stunned to come face to face with him , although he promised to keep her secret . It was revealed months later that Nick and Tina had shared a kiss , although Tina had dumped Jason beforehand . During 2009 , Tina began a relationship with local Lothario Jason Grimshaw - much to the anger of possessive ex - boyfriend David , with the relationship progressing so much that Jason felt the need to propose to Tina on Valentine ' s Day 2010 . Tina agreed to marry Jason , unaware that while the couple were celebrating their engagement , father Joe and new wife Gail had become embroiled in a scheme to fake Joe ' s death in order to cash in on the life insurance and pay off the debts he owned to Rick . Joe ' s plan went horribly wrong however when he did actually drown in the Lake District while carrying out his plan , leaving Gail as the prime suspect in his murder . At first Tina had no idea of Joe ' s plan and believed Gail and David ' s lie that he was currently working in Cumbria , however she soon became suspicious when Joe did not contact for her birthday and then supposedly sent her flowers which he knew she didn ' t even like . Tina confronted Gail about Joe ' s whereabouts and she revealed that Joe had planned to fake his own death . Tina was stunned by her dad ' s madness but this shock turned to horror when Joe ' s body was discovered in Lake Windermere and she angrily blamed Gail for his death , believing that she murdered him in a fit of anger and then covered up her crime . Jason was out of his depth in caring for devastated Tina , and she ended their relationship days later , unable to face him any more . Soon after her father ' s funeral , where she accused Gail of murdering her father publicly , Tina revealed to the police how Gail had tried to cover up Joe ' s absence and told them of her suspicions that her father had been murdered . Soon after Tina ' s confession , Gail was arrested for Joe ' s murder . Tina was shunned by the Platt family and stood by her original statement at Gail ' s trail , supported by former neighbour Tracy Barlow who had been planted in Gail ' s cell by the police in order to get a confession , her motive being that she hoped such cooperation would secure her transition into an open prison . When Gail was found not guilty , Tina despaired and became a recluse . Unable to cope with the hole caused by her dad ' s absence , Tina stopped eating and socialising , with many of her neighbours believing that she had left Weatherfield to stay with her estranged mum . It was only when former friend Graeme Proctor looked after her once she had fainted , that people began to notice the effect that the grief had on her health . Tina and Graeme soon formed a strong bond - he began to cook her meals and she began to look to the future again , and she started a relationship with Graeme , having fallen for him after he helped get her life back on track . 2010 - 2011 : More love searching . Tina and Graeme began a steady , loving relationship much to the anger and jealousy of David Platt , who was devastated by what he believed to be a betrayal at the hands of his best friend . Tina swiftly told David to move on with his life , and soon after David was able to let Tina go . Over the autumn , David began to continually muscle in on Graeme and Tina ' s relationship and began to spend much of his time at their flat , much to the anger of Tina . David became convinced that Tina wanted to restart a relationship with him , and one night pinned her to the sofa after telling her how good they were together . David immediately regretted his actions , and left her alone and scared in the flat . Over the next few days , Tina refused to let people touch her , and began to cover up all parts of her body . As Graeme became more unnerved by her behaviour , she eventually revealed to long time friend Rita what had happened to her , with Rita encouraging her to tell Graeme and to also not blame herself . Graeme was devastated when he heard about David ' s actions and attacked him in the Rovers . Tina was desperate for her relationship with Graeme to remain stable and they agreed to put the incident behind them . However , on a night out , Graeme was run over by David , who was found unconscious in the car afterwards . Tina was devastated as she waited for Graeme to pull through , and refused to believe that the act had not been done on purpose . As David continued to insist that he was innocent , tests revealed that he could be forming some sort of epilepsy . When Graeme pulled through , he accepted David ' s version of events , much to Tina ' s horror and angrily told the Platt family that she would send one of them down . At David ' s trial , the reports showed that David had suffered an epileptic fit while driving the car with the whole thing deemed an accident . Tina was hurt and angry by this development , however decided to draw up an awkward truce with Gail and David for the sake of her own happiness . Things remained to go well for Tina at the end of the year as she was offered a new job as barmaid of the Rovers Return , with her first shift seeing The Joinery explode across the Street , causing a tram to career onto the cobbles and destroy the Corner Shop and The Kabin . Tina was horrified as she believed that Graeme was inside their flat at the time of the crash but was relieved when he re - emerged minutes later , having actually gone to see a friend beforehand . Tina then began to comfort the survivors of the crash at the Rovers , and broke the news to Graeme of good friend Ashley Peacock ' s death after being crushed in the viaduct collapse . Tina comforted a devastated Graeme and looked after Claire , Joshua and Freddie Peacock . Tina was however happy to hear that Fiz Stape had given birth to baby Hope successfully , but was shocked to hear that friend Rita was actually trapped under the rubble of The Kabin , having believed her to have gone out with friend Doreen Fenwick for the night . In 2011 when Tina discovered he old friend Xin Chiang may be getting deported back to China , she came up with a plan for Graeme to marry her . They began to stage fake arguments and a fake breakup . But over time , Graeme grew closer to Xin and they began an affair . The marriage went ahead , and Rita wasn ' t happy when finding out about Tina ' s plot . When Tina found out , she was angry and threatened to expose Graeme and Xin , claiming that their love wasn ' t genuine . However , Gail reminded Tina she had a part in it and it wasn ' t fair to put the blame on them . In May 2011 , Graeme refused to go to bed with Tina because he was married to Xin , despite it not being a genuine relationship . Graeme and Xin then developed feelings for each other and they ended up sleeping together . Graeme told Tina about the affair and she was angry and heartbroken . Tina was provoked by David ' s wife Kylie who told Tina that she should have expected it . Tina and Kylie brawled in the pub to the annoyance of Steve McDonald who gave her a final verbal warning . Tina dealt with the situation very badly and threatened to report Graeme and Xin to the immigration authorities . After Gail intervened , Tina changed her mind and as Graeme and Xin left Weatherfield for London , she told him that she could never hate him despite breaking her heart . After a brief date with Tommy Duckworth , Tina began dating local doctor Matt Carter in August 2011 . However the pair split up a couple of months later , as Tina wasn ' t taken by Matt ' s snobbish friends and the fact he wanted her to better herself . A few months later Tina got together with Tommy after supporting him after the unexpected death of his grandfather Jeff Horton . 2011 - 2013 : Debt problems and surrogacy . In April 2012 Tommy ' s father Terry had returned to Weatherfield in order to set up lapdancing club Se7enth Hea7en . Despite Terry being a lousy father to Tommy ( and even selling him to his grandparents as an infant ) Tommy bonded with Terry , despite Tina ' s doubts . It then turned out that Terry had borrowed money from none other than Rick Neelan , the man responsible for driving her father to an early grave . When Tina realised that Terry and Tommy planned to burn down the club for insurance purposes , she confronted Terry only to be knocked unconscious . Terry then fled with money that Tommy had borrowed from friend Tyrone Dobbs , leaving Tina and Tommy at mercy of Rick and his gang . Tommy found himself being forced to stash drugs at Websters ' Auto Centre for Rick . Having enough of Rick ' s schemes , Tina stole a bag full of drugs from him , which then led to Rick kidnapping Rita Sullivan on her wedding day to Dennis Tanner . After a brief stand off with Rick at the canalside , the police arrived to arrest him with the help of Kirsty Soames . Tina briefly split from Tommy , however they later reconciled . In August 2012 , Tina was stunned to discover that Kirsty had been abusing Tyrone Dobbs when she spotted him treating his injuries in the garage . The following month she attacked a heavily pregnant Kirsty , who then went into labour and gave birth to daughter Ruby . The residents then believed that Tina had a vendetta against Tyrone and Kirsty . In order to pay off Tommy ' s debts , Tina agreed to become a surrogate to Gary Windass and his girlfriend Izzy Armstrong , who were unable to have children . Izzy ' s father Owen ( and Tina ' s boss at the Builder ' s Yard ) paid Tina for the surrogacy despite protests from Tommy and Rita , however Tina needed the money to help pay off Tommy ' s debts and she went ahead with the embryo transfer .

Tina didn ' t tell Gail but made her opinion clear to Joe . When the truth came out , by which time Joe had accepted an invitation to live at No . 8 , Joe was humiliated , but a sympathetic Gail persuaded Joe to remain at No . 8 even though they were no longer together .

Behind the scenes . Creation and development . The character of Tina McIntyre was written into " Coronation Street " as the short - term girlfriend of David Platt , to help mould the character from the generic antagonist he was becoming . In an interview with The Mirror , actress Michelle Keegan spoke about her character ' s duration on the show stating that : " Tina came in to the show just to change David into a nice character , and then to get to the point where he pushed his mum down the stairs . I was supposed to be out of there after that . But they ' ve kept me on . They needed a bit of a ballsy character , I think . She ' s moved into the Platts ' now and she ' s getting a family base around her , so hopefully she ' s around for the long haul . I didn ' t think I was staying , so I ' m very lucky " . As the character ' s introduction and personality were portrayed onscreen , bosses and viewers were impressed with the character and actress which resulted in Tina becoming a more permanent fixture . After Tina ' s initial storyline had played out , her character was built up further with the introduction of Joe McIntyre , who first appeared in Episode 6826 on 26th May 2008 . One of the biggest challenges Michelle had to face was during a storyline when Tina fell into depression over the loss of her father Joe , who was killed off in February 2010 . During this it was admitted that Michelle was emotionally and physically drained during the course of the storyline , something that her parents had admitted to . ( " Farewell Tina " ) She was also praised by her father in an episode which depicted Tina having to identify the body of her on - screen father Joe . Departure . Tina ' s exit was confirmed in April 2013 when Michelle Keegan had decided to leave the series in order to pursue other things . Michelle Keegan had commented " " I will miss Tina and will always be grateful to ITV and Coronation Street for giving me such an amazing role to play for my first ever acting job . Most of all I will miss the amazing people who work on the show , my acting colleagues , cast , crew , producers and writing team . I have met people who I know will be friends for life . . . " " Although it was originally intended for the door to be left open , the bosses had then came up with the idea to kill off the character in a ' whodunnit ' plot . This was officially confirmed in October 2013 . In the run up to the plot Tina was involved in an affair storyline with Peter Barlow ( Chris Gascoyne ) which was announced in September 2013 and had came to wake shortly after it was announced Chris Fountain ' s character Tommy Duckworth would be written out . On the run up to her exit ITV had shot four separate scenes in which Tina would be confronted by her killer on the balcony of the Builder ' s Yard , which would include four suspects . These were Peter Barlow , Carla Barlow ( Alison King ) , Rob Donovan ( Marc Baylis ) and Tracy Barlow ( Kate Ford ) . Her fall from the roof was aired in Episode 8395 ( 27th May 2014 ) , with a second shock attack in the following episode . Her final appearance was in Episode 8400 which aired on 2nd June 2014 . A Special show titled " Farewell Tina " was aired on 6th June 2014 in tribute to the character and Keegan . Tina appeared briefly during Episode 8411 ( 23rd June 2014 ) in a clip depicting her dancing along to S Club 7 with Steph Britton ( Tisha Merry ) . Extended footage of the clip was put on the ITV website . This was filmed on Michelle Keegan ' s last day on set . Reception . Ian Wylie of Manchester Evening News spoke upon the fact that Michelle Keegan was nominated for ' Best newcomer ' at The British Soap Awards 2008 and her portrayal of the character saying : " Coronation Street " ' s Michelle Keegan is nominated as Best Newcomer , really fully deserved even after just a few months on screen " and " Teen rebel Tina McIntyre , played by Michelle , reminds many of a young Suranne Jones as Karen McDonald . " Actress Michelle Keegan went onto win the ' Best Newcomer ' award at the 2008 British Soap Awards for her portrayal of Tina , which she was voted for by a panel . Jon Wise of " The People " observed her as bolder than Liz McDonald ' s make - up and brassier than Leanne Battersby . Michelle has also been nominated at the National Television Awards for Best Newcomer . Quotes . " Can ' t I just nip in before this one , only be two secs just look at me elbow . " ( First line ) " No Peter , we are not ' cool ' !
