Early life
Educated at St Cecilia's Infant School and then Holly Lodge Girls' College, she was spotted in a school play and invited to a new dance and drama school. Then, when attending a drama group, an Australian casting agent offered her a leading role in The Leaving of Liverpool, a 1950s-based drama about the forced migration of children to Australia.[1] [2]
Career
Having already appeared in The Leaving of Liverpool, Tremarco went on to star in two series of Springhill in 1996–1997 as Trish Freeman. In 2001, she appeared in Presence by David Harrower at the Royal Court Theatre.[3]
She is perhaps most famous, however, for her role in school drama Waterloo Road as school secretary and learning support assistant Davina Shackleton, a role she portrayed from 2007 to 2009. In her final episode, her character was last seen departing on a train to an unknown destination after an argument with long-term boyfriend Tom Clarkson portrayed by Jason Done. Her character suspected Tom of having an affair with Rose Kelly portrayed by Elaine Symons.[citation needed]
She played Ellie Morgan in a BBC One drama miniseries Moving On, entitled Drowning Not Waving, which was broadcast in May 2009.[4]
Tremarco guest starred in the BBC medical drama, Casualty in 2010 as Linda Andrews.[5] Following a positive response to the character, she was reintroduced as a main character in 2011.[6] Tremarco left the series in 2013.[7]
In 2017, Tremarco appeared in Little Boy Blue as Marie Thompson, the mother of one of the gang members involved in assisting the cover up of Rhys Jones' murder in 2007. [8]
