Tina McIntyre

Tina McIntyre is a fictional character on Coronation Street, and was first seen onscreen on 7 January 2008. The character is played by 21-year old actress Michelle Keegan

Since Tina's first appearance, she has clashed with Betty Williams, Gail Platt and Becky Granger who have taken a dislike to Tina, however, she is now close to Gail.

Relationship with David Platt
The character became the girlfriend of David Platt, and within a week had slept with David Platt at his house. However she does have the ability to have some control over David. She gradually wishes to protect and care for David (this is because she was willing to lie about David's whereabouts on the day that Gail was pushed down the stairs.)

Tina's pregnancy
When David had Tina's name tattooed on his arm, she became very angry at him and stormed out. After the weekend it emerged that she was pregnant, revealing all to David's mother, Gail. First shocked, Gail decided to talk to Tina about what she is going to do. She then suggested maybe an abortion might be best, when Tina agrees she asks her to keep it a secret from David and she will pay for her to have a private abortion, as the NHS would take up to three weeks.

Tina went on to have an abortion, Gail went along with her for support. When Tina had the procedure, she turned down David's trip to see a band. After David eventually noticed something was not right about the way Tina was acting he ended their relationship.

When David eventually found out about the abortion, he pushed his mother down the stairs, leaving the scene quickly and fleeing to Tina's, making up with her while he was there. She later gave David an alibi when the police asked about David's whereabouts at the time of Gail's accident. Tina told them he was with her. Tina told David that she would help him if it went to court and had to commit Perjury.

Gail's Fall
After David pushed Gail down the stairs, he convinced Tina to lie for him. When Gail's memory started returning, Tina started worrying under the pressure of lying and moved back to her own house. She also told David they were finished but David refused to give up. This hope eventually paid off as she decided to give him a second chance when she visited him in prison and sealed it with a kiss, despite the fact it was against the rules of the institution.
