Yes, it's a shame as she was a very good character. Better than some of the later additions to the Dingle family.

I'd love to see her brought back but it would have to be Jacqueline Pirie for me.

Isn't she Zak's daughter as well? So not some random Dingle that they wouldn't think about again like Eli.

Would love to see the return of Tina Dingle. Strange how Sam never mentions her and Belle has never met her. Wonder if any of the other Dingles with the exception of Mandy know her.

She left for a better and brighter future. She posted back her keys in a letter to Mandy with contact details. However Marlon and Albert intercepted the letter and sold the expensive car (given to Tina by Frank Tate). Marlon and Albert didn't tell anyone about the letter as they would of had to confess that they stole the car. There may of only been a throw comment by Mandy wondering where her letter was?

So other than Marlon, no one knows that Tina got in touch and think she just ran away. I think they were quite happy for her as they knew she was moving up in the world.

Tina remains my favourite Dingle and one of my favourite characters. She evolved and grew as a character. She realised the Dingle way was not the right way. She also felt remorse for actions.

Jacqueline Pirie gave up acting to be a full time Mum and now lives abroad. So perhas it is best Tina remains forgotten and left in the past? That way she can't be ruined like the rest of them?

She didn't seem like a nice person. When I was a kid I remember her pretending she loved some guy and then he got killed when he found out.

BIB: She was a Dingle, so that's a given.

Lisa did some time ago. She wasn't able to attend some family thing. It may have been the thing the Devon Dingles appeared at not that long ago.
She left to stay with the never seen Nathan and his family in London.
Jackie Chadwick gave up acting but opened several franchised drama (Jacqueline Chadwick Academy of Performing Arts) schools both here and in Canada where she now lives

They should just recast her. Tina isn't an iconic character and it's been so long, there shouldn't be any reason not to bring her back - if the story demands it.

She was a great character, I'd love to see her return - could be a bloodbath if they had her and Charity in the same village though.

Same for me. I hope they never recast.

It is weird how they stop talking about Dingle family members when they leave the village. Not just Tina but Mandy and Del also (though I personally don't feel Del is that iconic) Tina is the strangest none mention what with her being Zack's daughter.

Yeah she pretended to love Luke McAllister and orchestrated a big wedding and then ditched him at the alter- she did this as an act of "revenge" as she blamed Luke for the death of her brother Ben Dingle who died during a fist fight with Luke.

After being Jilted Luke went off the rails and after getting Tina into his car started driving erratically in an effort to force her to admit she did really love him- eventually Tina was pushed from the vehicle and Luke crashed it and died.

Emmerdale residents should just not drive.

Nathan has never been seen on screen he is supposed to be married and living in London according to the family tree of the Dingle's.
