Gina Conway

Gina Conway, Kay Purcell, is the third and final care worker at Elmtree House, working alongside and Mike Milligan (Connor Byrne) and previously Tracy Beaker (Dani Harmer). She first appeared on 8 January 2010 as a care worker in Tracy Beaker Returns and will continue this role into The Dumping Ground.

Gina is large, Jamaican, with black and highligted hair. She is kind and great house mother to the children, but can't spare much time for Tracy.

Gina is very clever towards the children and the residents seem to respect her. She is able to control the children without them resenting her interventions, however the children sometimes see her as loud and brash and very masculine when not needed to be person. Gina first encounters Tracy Beaker when Gina opens the door to Tracy when she arrives at the Dumping Ground. Not really understanding who Tracy is, Gina tells Tracy that Mike has gone out somewhere. Gina is sympathetic and lets Tracy in as it is pouring with rain outside. The kids at the Dumping Ground recoginze Tracy from the television broadcast and Tracy gives a copy of her signed autobiography to Gina for 99p less. Gina allows Tracy to tuck all the kids into their beds. When Tracy finally talks to Mike, he accidently lets slip to Gina that Tracy was arrested for using Cam's credit card. Gina is angry because she let Tracy put the kids to bed. Gina does not warm to Tracy at first, but grows to adore her and usually stand up for her. In Series 2, Gina is meant to be attending a Ballroom dance but sees the children teasing her so she refuses. The kids dress as giant chickens, dress up as comedy dancers (with Carmen and Tee dressing up as men and Liam, Frank and Johnny dressing up as women) and perform a dance routine to persuade Gina to go to the dance. This shows how much the children love and respect Gina, who is willing to do what it takes in order to ensure that the residents are safe and happy. In Series 3, Gina seems to get along with Tracy more.

In the series opener, Gina spent few days in the hospital due to an accident with a grenade. After she returns from hospital the young people agree that they should not tell Mike what had happened, due to Gina telling them this was the first holiday in 20 years.
