Just curious as to what people thought since personally after the surrogacy storyline I felt like Tina had run her course and it would have been nice to have Tommy back for a few episodes with the two of them leaving together.

Nice last scenes with David, Gail, Liz, Rita, Tyrone and the Armstrongs and off she goes.. My idea.

Same here, exactly as you've put. All this "who kills Tina?" nonsense!

Eerie spaceship encounter like Fallon in Dynasty.

Agreed. And then 2 or 3 years down the line when Michelle Keegan realises which side her bread is buttered, Tina returns.

I would have had her leave after realising that she cannot cope living on the same street with the baby, knowing she'll never have him. That way, under a better EP, Tina could be brought back under her former glory

Rita goes out for half a shandy with her lunch, 9 hours later she stumbles out of the pub two sheets to the wind, gets into her car and fatally runs Tina over. She gets out to tell Tina to 'Gerrup lady', and the episode ends with a wide overhead shot of Rita hurling cheque after cheque at Tina's lifeless body with one hand, the other on a piano as she belts out one of her favourite ballads.

Perfection J-B, absolute perfection!

(Although tbh, I'd like last one scene where Tina regains consciousness just long enough to look up at Reet Petite and gasp.......'Who are ya'?

If they were going to do the murder plot I would make the murderer Kirsty.

I would also make it that only one person saw her on the street (afterwards).

I would make sure that person was someone who did not know who she was such as Maddie.

In the aftermath Peter would be accused of the murder and at the time of his trial Maddie would see a picture of Kirsty and recognise her.

She would tell Sophie, who would realise what this might mean and and takes Maddie to go and tell the Police.

If it was to be death, I would do a whodunnit but make more enemies. Maybe have the surrogacy plot a few months prior.

The suspects would then be;

Peter
Carla
Tracy
Rob
Gary
Owen
Anna
Izzy

Then add something else like she tries to steal money off Rita from the Kabin making Rita + Dennis suspects.

I would have just packed her off to that London. All this murder stuff is just making the show still about Tina after she's gone, to be honest I've had just about enough of her.

When Tommy did a bunk they should've just had her follow him on, say bye to David and Rita and that's it.

It was silly forcing Tina into Peter and Carla's lives for her last few months.

If she had to have an affair, it would have made more sense for it to tie in with Tina's previous storyline. She could have gone after Gary in an attempt to get closer to Jake. She knew Gary had feelings for her so she could have used him and eventually misled him into thinking that she wanted him to run away with her and that they, along with baby Jake, could be a proper family. Tina could then have tricked Gary into leaving the baby with her, before kidnapping Jake and leaving a heartbroken Gary to pick up the pieces.
