Storylines[]
Tina is the girlfriend of Johnny Allen. She was previously his mistress for 10 years and supported him when his wife and older daughter were killed in a house fire.
In January 2005, Johnny moves to Albert Square and rents 91A George Street for Tina, so she is nearby. Tina soon makes friends with Pat Evans, who knew Johnny a while back. Pat soon twigs about Tina and Johnny's relationship.
Johnny gives Tina a job as a waitress at his nightclub Scarlet. Fed up of not making their relationship public, Tina considers leaving Johnny and moving away. Pat persuades her to stay and lets her rent a room at 31 Albert Square.
Soon, Tina begins to get to know Johnny's daughter Ruby Allen. Johnny had tried to keep the two women in his life apart. They tell Ruby that they have only been seeing each other for around a month. However, in May, Ruby spots a photo of her dad and Tina on holiday and is confused about when it was taken. She confronts Tina and she confesses to have been with Johnny for 10 years. Ruby is distraught and confronts Johnny about the lies. Johnny finally opens up to Ruby and she comes to accept their relationship. Tina finally moves in with Johnny at 5 Albert Square, where they seem to enjoy some measure of domestic tranquillity between crises.
Tina begins to feel uncomfortable when Johnny hires a new attractive barmaid, Amy, to work at Scarlet. Ruby later finds him kissing Amy, leading to her telling Tina about the whole incident. Johnny openly admits to having a fling and shocks Tina with his attitude by trying to brush it off as though it is nothing, telling Tina to forget it. Tina then realises exactly what Johnny is really like, and flees Albert Square for good.
