Tina still scarred by Graeme's exit

Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan has revealed her character Tina McIntyre has doubts over confessing her feelings for Tommy Duckworth - because she's still hurt by Graeme Proctor's departure.

The 24-year-old, who plays the feisty barmaid on the ITV soap, admitted it'll take a while before Tina can learn to trust someone.

"She's scared of getting involved with a man again. She's still hurt by what Graeme did to her and she's wary of it happening again," she told Soaplife..

Tina prepares to reveal her real emotions to Tommy (Chris Fountain) on February 20 - after Rovers Return landlady Stella Price (Michelle Collins) persuades her of his integrity - but sees him kissing another woman.

"For now Tommy's blown his chances. They might make a great couple and could have fun together, but Tina has to be careful she doesn't get hurt," Michelle continued.

"Tina doesn't trust him 100% because of his laddish ways. She hasn't forgotten how he tried to get off with any woman when he first arrived on the Street. She's also worried about spoiling their friendship and losing him from her life."
