Luisa Bradshaw White starred on EastEnders for over seven years and during that time, her character Tina Carter was involved in a number of big storylines.

Now though, the former EastEnders star is busy in her new job which is worlds away from the soap.

It turns out that before her role in Walford, she trained as a Breathworker and nowadays she hosts classes at festivals and retreats.

In June she attend Orbit Fitness & Wellbeing Festival in Shropshire and said, "It was such a privilege to meet so many amazing humans who were willing to show up fully. Willing to explore the dark and murky parts of themselves aswell as the joy and the bliss!

“Thank you so much @orbitfitness_wellbeingfestival for having me. Thankyou to everyone I met for getting out of your comfort zones and for trusting me to take you on a journey with sound, breath and movement.”

Luisa's change in career path comes after her shock exit after Gray Atkins (Toby-Alexander Smith) killed her. So, we thought we'd take a look at her iconic character on EastEnders.

Who was Luisa Bradshaw White in EastEnders?

She was part of the Carter family and played Tina Carter, sister of Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) and aunt of Mick Carter (Danny Dyer). She was also the mum of Zsa Zsa (Emer Kenny) who was in the spin-off show EastEnders: E20.

What happened to Tina Carter?

During her time in the Square, Tina dated a few people including Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) and her abusive ex Tosh Mackintosh (Rebecca Scroggs). She also had a strange entanglement with Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) which resulted in the breakdown of his relationship with then-fiancé Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton).

She was also homeless at various points throughout her time in Walford and struggled with her mum Sylvia's (Linda Marlowe) Alzheimer's and her dad Stan’s (Timothy West) cancer diagnosis.

Not only that but Tina had her fair share of criminal activity too - she sold drugs to try and raise money to have a baby with Tosh and she tried to kill Stuart Highway (Ricky Champ) after she discovered he abused her as a teenager.

What happened with Tina Carter and Gray Atkins?

When the Carters became homeless in 2020 after Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) brought the Queen Vic, Tina and Shirley were taken in by Gray, who had become her lawyer after she became a suspect when Ian was attacked. However things went sour when he started to try and control Tina.

She was then killed by Gray after she tried to expose him for his behaviour, as well as believing that he murdered his wife Chantelle Atkins.

Is Luisa Bradshaw White returning to EastEnders?

As Tina’s dead body was found in 2022, we don’t think that Luisa will make a return. But with Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) returning and Roxy Michell’s ghostly appearance, anything is possible.

How old is Luisa Bradshaw White?

She is 48 years old. Her birthday is December 9, 1974.

Is Luisa Bradshaw White married?

Yes, she married Annette Yeo in 2015.
