The actress made her debut on EastEnders in 2013 as Tina, part of the Carter family, who run the Queen Vic.

Her character was involved in some major storylines, such as getting in touch with her estranged daughter Zsa Zsa, who lived with her sister Shirley in Walford before Tina arrived.

She was also involved a long and complicated relationship with Sonia Fowler as well as being tortured by psycho-turned undertaker Stuart Highway.

She is now trying to help support her family through the impending divorce of nephew Mick Carter and his wife Linda.

Luisa played Kira in This Life, which followed a group of attractive, badly-behaved lawyers living in a posh house in London.

They spent their time engaged in emotional crises, usually over wanting to sleep with each other.

The cast members have gone on to successful things, especially Andrew Lincoln who starred in The Walking Dead from 2010-2018.

Jack Davenport has since starred in Pirates of The Caribbean and Daniela Nardini starred in Annie Griffin's New Town, which earned her a Scottish BAFTA in 2009.
