Lisa Riley on Tina
A tomboy, a tattoo artist and the family’s secret keeper, Lisa tells us about her unpredictable character, Tina Finch.
Tina is like the modern day Miss Marple - nothing gets past her
"The best thing about Tina is that she deals with things through her sarcasm. She is the confidante and totem pole who keeps the family together. When the chips are down and low within the family, she deals with it so brilliantly. Everyone confides in Tina and she doesn’t miss a trick, she knows everything that is going on.
"Robson (Green) and I decided one day that Tina is like the modern day Miss Marple - nothing gets past her. She is everyone’s sister and friend and that is because she is so direct and deals with things through truth and honesty and I love that about her. To me, Tina is the unsung hero of the piece, which I love.
"Tina gets her gratification by keeping the ship afloat, and in this drama the ship is her family. If they didn’t have her, the ship would sink. Society has a tendency to judge everyone before they get to know them and that’s what everyone has always done with Tina but they are wrong, she has this wonderful and shocking secret which is revealed."
