After Grange Hill, Tina Mahon disappeared. If you want to know where to, try looking for John Alford...

 
 

DOB: 24 June 1971

STAR SIGN: Cancer

TV: STATE OF THE WORLD (Channel 4 TVM 1982); Ronnie Birtles in GRANGE HILL (BBC 1985-1991)

TINA ON RONNIE: "I quite like Ronnie", Tina says in the 1987 GH annual. "She is quite like me in some ways; easy going and enjoys a laugh. But she can be a bit rude at times, and needs to grow up where boys are concerned. And I can't understand how she could be friends with Calley (Donnington)!"

FAMILY: Tina has an older brother, David, whom she used to hate

 
 
 
  YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW... Tina went to Acland Burghley, the same school as John Alford (her long-term boyfriend). But they did not meet until working on Grange Hill brough them together!

WHERE IS SHE NOW? In 1999 she was engaged to John Alford, aka Robbie in Grange Hill. But no word since - have they tied the knot?
