Last Regular Appearance: 8.32 (#356) Play Off Duration: EP: 167 - 168, 334 - 356 | SE: 3.27 – 3.28, 8.10 – 8.32 Position: Student (2000) / Team Co-Ordinator (2005) Last Seen: Grief-stricken upon being told the news of fiancée Karl Fletcher’s death. Leaves shortly afterwards. From an Italian-English family, Gina was the Moliano's only daughter, and youngest, with three older brothers. Eddie was next in line to Gina, and the two were the most like-minded, with Gina turning up unexpectedly at Harchester United to visit Eddie during team mate Michael Dillon's engagement party. Thinking he'd sent her off in a taxi, Gina is soon in the bed of Eddie's other team mate, Scott Lucas, who knows her only as "Mel". When Scott invites the boys to watch he making out with Gina, Eddie cops an eyeful of his sister and informs Scott she is only sixteen! It all of course gets back to the elder two Moliano brothers, the thuggish Tony and Marco who come and beat Scott up. Four years later, Gina is living in Southern Spain when she meets another of Eddie's old HUFC team mates, Karl Fletcher. Fletch is living an isolated lifestyle; playing for Real Murcia, and not in the best of shape physically after splitting from wife Abi. Gina is good company for Fletch, an age gap of twelve years means nothing to her, and the two fall in love. When Harchester are at the Nou Camp to play Barcelona, Dean Boyle publicly announces Fletch is returning to the club, but he and Gina find themselves back in Harchester for another reason. Byron, a boy in the youth academy has put down Fletch as his father, knowing his mom once dated Karl. Fletch is harsh to the boy and sees to it that he is dumped by the academy, something that appalls Gina. She only returns to Fletch after seeing Byron has been reinstated. With Fletch not in shape for the Premier League, he goes off to Lilleshall to get fit, while manager Don Barker is impressed by Gina's handling of Fletch's on-pitch affairs and offers her the position of team co-ordinator. Gina's role also sees her involved in a number of personal situations, and is a loyal friend to Don's daughter Jodie when she decides against having an abortion. However thanks to Don, Gina is accidentally poisoned the day after Fletch has had a one-night-stand with Jodie, and consumed with guilt and the fear he could lose her altogether, Fletch proposes to Gina on her hospital bed. When Karl is charged with Gina's poisoning, she berates the team to support Fletch and pay his bail. He is released, but then killed by Don, which a devastated Gina learns at the Play Off final. Gina feels she can not stay at the club which will always be associated with Karl, and leaves. |
