However the actress has moved on with a new role for a rival channel – and she’s hit out at fans for thinking she would return to EastEnders.
Posting on Instagram to celebrate filming her new role, Luisa wrote: “Worked with a complete icon today!
“Bum cheeks firmly clenched! Def needing the tequila tonight! @aquarivatequila Love my new life.
“Oh and those people banging on about me going back to EastEnders sorry guys wrong channel.”
Viewers know Gray killed Chantelle by pushing her onto an upturned knife.
He then staged the scene to make it look like an accident before leaving her to bleed to death while securing his own alibi outside.
When Tina worked out what he had done, there was a violent struggle and Tina seemed to have died.
However, fans think there is a major twist coming that will see Tina still alive.
One wrote: “On the contrary. I dont think Gray sees himself as a murderer. He wants redemption for Chantelle, and keeping Tina Alive is him making up for wrongs.”
A second said: “I’m always suspicious when I don’t see what happens to the body. So until it’s proven beyond doubt I’ll say she’s alive.”
Another added: “Diane Parish also confirmed her ‘death’ all those years ago.
“Never take what they as gospel. I have a strong suspicion she’s alive.”

A fourth said: “The only remotely believable way she’s still alive is if Gray is keeping her prisoner.
“They could spin it that he’s abusing and beating her like he did to Chantelle and its his sick way of letting off steam now that he doesn’t have Chantelle to knock around anymore and it still lets him keep up the facade on the square.
“That’d be dark even for EE but nothing they think up surprises me anymore.”
