Christine Tremarco

Educated at St Cecilia's Infant School and then Holly Lodge Girls' College, she was spotted in a school play and invited to a new dance and drama school. Then, when attending a drama group, an Australian casting agent offered her a leading role in The Leaving of Liverpool, a 1950s-based drama about the forced migration of children to Australia.[1][2]

Having already appeared in The Leaving of Liverpool, Tremarco went on to star in two series of Springhill, from 1996 to 1997, as Trish Freeman. In 2001, she appeared in Presence, by David Harrower, at the Royal Court Theatre.[3]

She is perhaps most famous, however, for her role in the BBC One school-based drama series, Waterloo Road, as school secretary and learning support assistant, Davina Shackleton, a role she portrayed regularly from 2007 to 2009. In her final episode, her character was last seen departing on a train to an unknown destination after an argument with her boyfriend Tom Clarkson (Jason Done). Her character suspected Tom of having an affair with Rose Kelly (Elaine Symons).

She played Ellie Morgan in a BBC One drama mini-series, Moving On, entitled Drowning Not Waving, which was broadcast in May 2009.[4]

Tremarco guest starred in the BBC medical drama series, Casualty, in 2010, as Linda Andrews.[5] Following a positive response to the character, she was reintroduced as a main character, in 2011.[6] Tremarco left the series in 2013.[7]

In 2017, Tremarco appeared in Little Boy Blue, as Marie Thompson, the mother of one of the gang members involved in assisting the cover up of Rhys Jones' murder, in 2007. [8]
