Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan)

Coronation Street's Tina McIntyre will vandalise Barlow's Buys when a feud with Tracy gets out of control.

Tracy makes an enemy out of Tina (Michelle Keegan) when she ruthlessly rips off Dennis in the shop after he sells Rita's engagement ring behind her back.

Kate Ford, who plays Tracy, explained on Coronation Street's official website: "Tracy gets really excited when she sees the ring because it's obviously a decent piece of jewellery. She puts a heavy mark-up on it, so when Dennis comes to buy it back he's forced to pay a fair whack.

"Tracy can't stand Tina and Tina isn't exactly being very nice to Tracy either. They both give back as good as they get. Tina keeps turning up at the shop to stir things up and that is really winding Tracy up."

However, Tracy is left shocked when a furious Tina throws a brick through the shop window, causing Tracy to fight back and tell Rita about her jewellery.

Ford said: "Tracy is shocked when Tina throws a brick through the window of Barlow's Buys. I don't even think she would do that! To smash the window and not care who knows is quite brazen.

"Tracy tells Rita all about it in the pub. I don't think Tracy would have ever actually told Rita about the ring if Tina hadn't have provoked her. She doesn't regret it though, although she does realise how much this annoys Rob."

It was recently revealed that Tina is to have a shock fling with Peter in the lead up to his wedding.

Coronation Street bosses have played down claims that Tina McIntyre will be killed off next year.

A report in The Sun today (October 17) claims that Tina will meet a grisly end in a shock 'whodunit' storyline in 2014.

Michelle Keegan, who plays Tina, will leave the show next year and the show's story team are currently making plans for her exit plot.

However, a Coronation Street spokesperson told Digital Spy this morning that a final decision has yet to be made over Tina's fate.

The representative said: "'Michelle will be on screen until early summer 2014 and many ideas for Tina's departure are currently being discussed - nothing has been finalised."

The rumoured storyline would allegedly see a 'Who killed Tina?' mystery kick off on the cobbles.

Fans know that the Rovers barmaid is already due to make enemies of Tracy Barlow and Carla Connor in the coming weeks.

Keegan has played Tina since 2008 but is leaving the soap to pursue other projects.

they wont kill her off she is too popular

She is not popular as the character Tina. She is popular as Michelle Keegan. Two different things. Her character will not be missed. Only problem is she is not a very good actress unlike some people who have had success after corrie. Very limiting what she can do. It's strange enough with her clearly expensive fixed teeth and now collagen lips. Hardly able to work on downton abbey with all the work she's had done. Remember when Ivy Tilley had some work done the producers went mad. Corrie needs to be a bit more realistic and believable.

Coronation Street's Tina McIntyre will face a tempting offer from Rob Donovan next week as her feud with Tracy Barlow continues..

After Tina receives a bill for smashing Tracy's shop window, Rob tells her that he will pay for the repairs if she will publicly apologise to Tracy, who can never know of their deal.

Here, Michelle Keegan - who plays Tina - discusses Rob's offer and her character's feud with Tracy.

Is Tina worried about being Tracy's new nemesis? After all, she has been in prison for murder...
"I don't think Tina really takes that into account. Tina's a very loyal person who fights for her own. Obviously Rita is going to be upset with Dennis for selling her ring, that's why she feels like she needs to interject and sort the situation out. I don't think Tina even considers Tracy's past."

What is it about Tracy that really gets under Tina's skin?
"Tracy stands up to Tina and not a lot of people do that. She rivals Tina with the fact that she doesn't back down. I guess they are similar in that way, they are both feisty females, but Tina doesn't like the way Tracy treated Dennis and that's the reason they just don't get on."

Isn't it a bit foolish of Tina to vandalise Tracy and Rob's shop? Does she regret it?
"I do think it was foolish of Tina to throw the brick through the window but Tracy wound her up about her dad. Tina doesn't like people talking about or bad mouthing her family, especially when it comes to her dad.

"She was very close to him before he passed away, and for Tracy not to really know her dad but still bad mouth him is what did it for Tina. She snapped and threw the brick, but it was very foolish and she knows that."

How does Tina react when Tracy delivers a bill for the window that she smashed?
"Straight away Tina says she's not going to pay for it, and it's Rita who finally says she needs to pay. But Rob makes an offer to her and says if Tina backs down and pays Tracy, then he will secretly pay her back. She's very tempted as she hasn't got a lot of money."

So what happens next? Does she pay Tracy?
"The police arrive in the Rovers and Tracy ends up pointing at Tina telling them how she threw a brick through her shop window. It's through gritted teeth that Tina apologises to Tracy and agrees to pay her damages, but she instantly hates herself for giving in to Tracy."

What does she make of Rob? Could she fancy him, do you think?
"I don't think she could fancy him. To be honest, I don't think she's in the right frame of mind to fancy anyone after what's happened with Tommy. I do think there could be a friendship there as she's not really against Rob, it's Tracy she's against."

How does Tina react when she discovers Rob has tricked her into doing this deal with him?
"Tina learns from Rita that Rob tricked her into doing a deal with him, and she's so angry at his manipulation that she readily tells Tracy all about it. She's happy that she can cause an argument between them both."

What is Tracy's reaction?
"Tracy doesn't initially believe her but eventually she realises Rob has made a fool of her and betrayed her and she goes mad at him."

How is the influence of David having an influence on Tina's decision making?
"She blames David for what happened between her and Tommy and she thinks he's the reason why Tommy left. She comes to the conclusion that she doesn't want David in the flat anymore, she wants him out of her life and she doesn't want to know about any problems that David has.

"I think all this has probably played on her mind and maybe she's acting a bit more irrational than usual."

After what happened with Rita when she got mugged, isn't Tina worried about dragging her into this feud?
"I think that's what makes Tina pay up in the end and say sorry. The fact that Rita has started to get involved worries Tina. Last time Tina went on a rampage and got drunk, Rita ended up getting mugged. She blames herself for that and she stills feel a bit guilty."

What's it been like to work with Kate and Marc? Are you enjoying Tina's new feud?
"I really like working with Kate and Marc. It's always good when you get new characters to work with as you obviously get comfortable working with certain people. It's nice to branch out and start new relationships, so yes, it's been lovely. "

Are we going to see a darker side to her as she spirals in these arguments?
"I don't think we will see a darker side to her because she usually has good morals. I don't think she could ever go down that road, but I think we can officially say that feisty Tina is back. She is quite mischievous when she plants the knickers in Rob's car, and she's doing a lot to wind people up at the moment."

Is Tina putting her life in danger by taking on killer Tracy?
"I don't think she's putting her life at risk as I don't think Tracy would go there again after being in prison. However, I don't think Tina understands how dangerous Tracy could be."
