Nina Anderson

Nina Sarah Jessica Anderson (born 8th May 1987, age 32) is an original character in the Lit forum serial drama The Avenue, portrayed by Nina Toussaint-White. She is the product of an affair between absent mother Kaz Anderson and deceased father Denzil Anderson, half-sister of Graham Rossi, adoptive daughter of Luca Rossi (her own father Denzil died in a car crash many years ago when Nina was only a child), and the mother of teenager Bobbie Anderson, and young son Alfie Anderson. Bobbie and Alfie have two different fathers; their identities are currently unknown. Nina works part-time at both The Red Lion (as a barmaid) and Catford Clinic (as a medical receptionist).

Kaz is the mother of both Graham and Nina. She was once married to Graham's father, Luca, but their marriage broke down when Kaz had an affair when Denzil, a result of which was Nina. All three Andersons were involved in a car crash in which Denzil died. Kaz had a nervous breakdown and was sectioned; however upon her release, she failed to return to Catford Grove and abandoned Graham and Nina. Graham was beside himself with worry about what would now become of NIna, but Luca was quick to put himself forward as Nina's carer, later adopting her. Kaz's whereabouts remain unknown to both the Andersons and the Rossis.

Nina is described as 'dyfunctional and chaotic', but 'well-meaning' and a 'caring' mum. Her own mum, Kaz Anderson, had a nervous breakdown and deserted Nina after Denzil's car crash, in which Kaz and Nina were also involved.
