The former EastEnders star is hoping the power of social media will help with the safe return of their beloved family pet that was stolen by vile thieves – she has pleaded for help in a heartbreaking post
An EastEnders star has shared a desperate plea for help in a heartbreaking update after her pet was stolen by vile thieves.
Lusia Bradshaw White – who is best known for playing Tina Cater on BBC One soap before her exit in 2020 – shot to fame in 1988 as Herte in A Friendship in Vienna. She went on to land roles in Grange Hill, The Bill, Birds of a Feather and Holby City. The now 50-year-old later appeared in BBC medical drama Doctors, before landing her role in EastEnders.
The actress played Tina Carter in the BBC soap for eight years until her character was murdered by serial killer Gray Atkins. In October 2021 Luisa revealed she had turned her back on acting after it no longer fulfilled her. Since then, the 50-year-old has set up a dance school in Hertfordshire where she hosts ‘sober raves’ and she says it is dance which has led her to finally find her ‘calling”.

Luisa shares a lot of her family life on Instagram and her latest post is a real tear-jerker. Posting to her 96,000 followers she shared a close up photo of her family Shetland pony and captioned it: “PLEASE HELP! Our family Shetland who is disabled has been STOLEN. She had never been ridden, and she is old, has never been apart from her mum and she will be extremely stressed and anxious right now. “She is a highly sensitive disabled rescue pony.”
Luisa continued to plead with fans, writing: “Please, if anyone sees this and lives in the EAST SUSSEX area… she was taken from Brightling… can you repost and put on your stories so we can get this seen. Thank you in advance.”
Luisa’s post was flooded with comments, including messages of support and from those vowing to help the soap star. One person wrote: “Oh nooooo – how awful! I do hope you find her and that she’s safely found and back home with you very soon.” Another wrote: “Praying that you get her back safe and well.”
Luisa is yet to post any updates on the situation, but has reshared her post to her Instagram Stories, saying: “WE NEED HER HOME.”
Away from her former soap life, Luisa has been in a civil partnership with Annette since 2006, although they officially married each other in a gorgeous ceremony in 2015, where their two daughters acted as bridesmaids. The happy couple adopted their kids when they were just three and four years old, and Luisa previously told OK! magazine: “We saw a picture and I burst into tears. I knew the girls were my children. I’d bought them clothes before we had even been approved to have them.”
