Tina Dingle arrived in Emmerdale last night \u2013 showing up at the graveside as the family laid her dad, Zak, to rest.<\/p>

<\/div><\/div>\n

Tina was last seen in the village 28 years ago, when she was played by actress Jacqueline Pirie<\/a>. With Jacqueline having moved to Canada with her family and started a new life as a crime writer, the role has been recast.<\/p>\n

Brassic actress Samantha Power is playing the new-look Tina<\/a> but her arrival in last night\u2019s episode received a mixed response from fans, with some declaring the recast was \u201can insult\u201d to the original actress!<\/p>\n

Who is she?!<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s SUCH a long time since Tina left Emmerdale<\/a>, that lots of fans didn\u2019t know she existed! After all, Tina\u2019s barely been mentioned since she headed south to seek her fortune in London. She\u2019s never met her sister, Belle, she didn\u2019t come back for brother Butch\u2019s funeral, or any of the many Dingle weddings there have been over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cSorry but who is she??\u201d asked one confused fan. \u201cIf it helps, I\u2019ve only been watching since like 2009.\u201d<\/p>
