Tina Carter is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, portrayed by Luisa Bradshaw-White.

In a later storyline, Tina feuds with Stuart Highway (Ricky Champ) when it emerges that he drugged and attacked her when she was a teenager.

It was announced on 16 October 2020 that Bradshaw-White had quit her role and she made her last appearance on 28 December 2020, when Tina was murdered by Gray Atkins (Toby-Alexander Smith), with her corpse hidden underneath the floorboards of the Argee Bhajee restaurant, which remained undiscovered for over a year.

Her body was found by Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) on 24 February 2022 and her funeral aired on the 6th April 2022.

However, she first came to Walford after her sister Shirley (Linda Henry) was tracked down by her ex-boyfriend Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden).

It turns out that Shirley has been residing in Tina's rundown flat, after she has been forced out of Walford and threatened by his enemy and ex-convict Carl White (Daniel Coonan) not long ago.

They visit his wife Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) at her mother's pub in Watford but she is sceptical towards them.

Shirley finds out about this and returns the money before going on to reconcile with Mick, who then moves his family to Walford by buying The Vic from Phil at the end of 2013.

She is delighted when her father Stan Carter (Timothy West), who the rest of the family are estranged from, makes amends with his children and moves into the Vic with them.

Tina realizes she is still in love with her abusive ex-girlfriend, Tosh Mackintosh (Rebecca Scroggs), and reconciles with her.

Tina rebels and starts a full relationship with Tosh again, with them eventually moving into a flat nearby with Aleks Shirovs (Kristian Kiehling) and Jake Stone (Jamie Lomas).

This is expensive and Tina begins dealing drugs from the café with the help of her aunt, Babe Smith (Annette Badland), but they are forced to stop when Mick and Shirley find out.

Her mother Judy (Jo Martin) comes, but her father makes an excuse, uncomfortable with Tosh's sexuality due to his Christian faith.

Tina supports Sonia when she falls ill, and she confides in her that she spent the money from the charity calendar she organised on a gastric band in Bulgaria, to impress her husband Martin (James Bye).

When the paramedics arrive, Tina reveals Sonia has had an operation to fit a gastric band, which shocks Carol and Martin.

Sonia returns from a doctor's appointment to discover that Tina has moved her mother, Sylvie Carter (Linda Marlowe), who suffers from Alzheimer's disease, into the house.

However, when Sonia arranges a Carter family dinner for Sylvie's sake, Martin tells her that Tina is not treating her properly.

She goes with him to a 1980s night and he is annoyed when she gets a woman's phone number instead of him so he requests the song "We Call It Acieed" and when it plays, Tina has a terrifying flashback.

Tina breaks down at work; she tells Sonia that when she was 19 or 20, she would play a game with Stuart and his friends that involved mild "torture", but once she was locked in a car boot, tied up and gagged, and feared she would die when she smelt burning; Tina realizes that the same song was playing in the car that day and believes that Stuart is responsible.

Mick says he will help find out who did it, Stuart mentions that Tina was called a "slag" by the person who did it despite her not telling him, so she accuses him again but he still denies it.

However, one of Mick's old friends, Dylan Box (Ricci Harnett), visits and says Stuart once did the same to him as he did to Tina and has already reported him to the police.

When Linda struggles with alcoholism, Mick decides that they need to sell the Queen Victoria pub and move out, leaving Tina homeless.

Tina was introduced as the sister of established regular character Shirley Carter (Linda Henry), who has appeared on the show since 2006.

Two days before the character's arrival was announced, Treadwell-Collins posted a photo to Twitter of a bomber jacket with the name Tina on the back, sparking speculation that Shirley's sister had been cast.

[3] Tina first appeared when Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) tracked her sister Shirley to her rundown flat, after she had been forced out of Walford by Carl White (Daniel Coonan).

He convinced Shirley to return with him, and Tina followed soon after, escaping an abusive ex-girlfriend, Tosh Mackintosh; Rebecca Scroggs was introduced in this role in February of the following year.

She has a good relationship with her nephew Mick (Danny Dyer) and his family, and shares a flat at one time with Shirley's son Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo).

On 9 February 2014, it was announced Rebecca Scroggs would play Tosh Mackintosh, her firefighter ex-girlfriend who she would reconcile with.

Departure In October 2020, confirmation surfaced that Bradshaw White would be departing from the show, with her final scenes slated to air around December.

Tina met her demise on 28 December 2020, succumbing to Gray Atkins, who murdered her upon her discovery of his involvement in his wife Chantelle's death.
