Tina Dingle, portrayed by a new acting star, has returned to the Emmerdale village
Tina Dingle, daughter of Nellie and Zak Dingle, has been seen by fans returning to the village for the latter’s funeral. Originally played by acting star Jacqueline Pirie, the character has been recast with Brassic fave Samantha Power portraying Tina for her short return to the village.
Pregnant Tina was due to marry Luke only before a major revelation. The day of the wedding soon arrived and Luke and Tina headed to the altar. However, Tina interrupted the service and revealed that the whole relationship had been an act of revenge for her brother Ben's death.Not only that, but there was not, and never had been, a baby. Luke was left devastated by Tina's actions, and a few days later, decided to leave the village and return to his parents in London.
Viewers later saw the character exit the village for a job in London over the 1996 festive period. In the following years, a few minor references have been made to Tina, mostly about her being aloof, but Zak’s funeral is the first time fans have seen the character feature in-person for nearly 30 years.
