Tina McIntyre is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera Coronation Street. Portrayed by Michelle Keegan, the character first appeared on-screen during the episode that was shown 7 January 2008. The character was central to many key storylines relating to issues such as perjury, abortion and surrogacy, and had relationships with David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd), Graeme Proctor (Craig Gazey), Tommy Duckworth (Chris Fountain), Dr. Matt Carter (Oliver Mellor) and Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas), and had an affair with married man Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne). Tina has also had feuds with Kylie Platt (Paula Lane), Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) and Kirsty Soames (Natalie Gumede).
In April 2013, it was announced that 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 by Rob Donovan (Marc Baylis), before dying of her injuries on 2 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 as one of the 10 best Coronation Street characters of all time.[1]
