However, Tina and Dom discover their planned wedding clashes with Tina's sister Mercedes McQueen and fiancé Russ Owen so Myra suggests they have a double wedding and Mercedes and Tina reluctantly agree. During their joint hen night, Tina and Mercedes, along with Jacqui and Carmel find an unconscious Clare Devine, following an attempt on her life. On the wedding day, Louise Summers interrupts the ceremony claiming Mercedes slept with Warren Fox on the night Clare was pushed, Mercedes being his only alibi after his arrest for attempted murder. In order for the wedding not to be ruined, Tina tells Russ that Mercedes was with her all night. After marrying Dom, Tina tells Mercedes she will never forgive her for spoiling her wedding day.

However, Tina insists but Dom is also unhappy, but the pair reconcile and he agrees to stand by Tina, who is overjoyed to discover she is pregnant. However, she discovers at her 12-week scan that the foetus is 15 weeks and therefore must have been conceived when she slept with Russ. Tina confesses her affair to Jacqui, who is furious, but tells her to keep it a secret or both their relationships will be over. A heavily pregnant Tina confides in Niall Rafferty, telling him she is considering putting her child up for adoption, unaware Niall is her half-brother who Myra put up for adoption. Tina tells Jacqui her adoption plans during a phone-call. An angry Niall then pushes Tina down a flight of steps, and tells the McQueens he saw Jamie "Fletch" Fletcher push her. Tina is rushed to hospital and gives birth to a baby son who she names Max.

When she arrives at the church, Niall makes Myra choose which two children will live, telling her that he will kill the rest.
