GINA
Gina (also known as Patient #11) was first seen only on VHS tapes left for Jonas outside of his motel room. She was in isolation in a hospital, where she was being treated by Dr. Calvin Hart. However, she was apparently there voluntarily, because when she began to complain about her isolation, the doctor tried to persuade her to "stick it out" a little longer (until April 10th, 2001).
She appeared to be afflicted with an ailment that causes difficulty with breathing. She often had coughing fits, and once even stopped breathing altogether. To help with the situation, her doctor gave her a green pill, which helped slightly, although side effects did include diarrhea, chills and vomiting. In Shocking Discovery, Gina seemed to have developed a rash on her upper back, similar to the one Emma got in Eat Pie.
Gina enjoyed music, and was often heard to hum. She had a particular interest for the song "Piano Man" by Billy Joel, and became very excited when she heard she was going to be able to sneak out of the hospital and go to a Billy Joel and Elton John concert. However, it seems that Gina was never able to go to that concert.
After meeting Jonas, Dr. Hart revealed that Gina was his only trait positive patient to survive past the age of 5. He has since revealed that for the first 13 years of her life, Gina was very happy and strong, but by the end, she got tired of being "locked up like a lab rat" and realized that she wasn't getting any better.
While Dr. Hart was led to believe that Gina died at the age of 15, it was revealed in the episode KIDNAPPED! that Gina is very much alive, shown getting out of Lucy's car and running toward Dr. Hart. We also discover that she may have romantic intentions toward Dr. Hart in Girl Tied Up. We've learned that Dr. Hart considers Gina his soul mate, but we do not know what Gina considers Dr. Hart. In a more recent video, we discover Gina was not Patient #11-she wasn't even a patient at all!
In Her Body, Her Blood, Dr. Hart revealed that Gina was born true trait positive and was the control in the his experiments. Since his experiment was a failure, Gina's life was in jeopardy, compelling him to make a deal with the order - Emma's life for Gina. When Daniel came to save Emma from William Porter's house block later, Daniel took her instead of Emma, having heard from Dr. Hart that he was not going to go through with the Ceremony, and would instead sacrifice himself to save Emma. In his final message, Dr. Hart revealed that Gina is Bree's sister, and that they were both bought from a Siberian mother.
Etymology
Though it's the masculine form of the name, Dr. Hart revealed in his last video that Gina's original name was once Yevgeny. (The feminine form is Yevgeniya). In either case, the name is a Russian form of the name Eugene/Eugenia. This name comes from the Greek roots for "well born." [1] (A suitable name for a trait positive girl.)

Dr. Hart also mentioned that Gina was two years old when Bree was a newborn, giving us a way to determine Gina's approximate age.
ReplyDelete(about 20 now I think but someone else can work out the details)
Bree is dead, long live Bree II. :)
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't quite line up.
ReplyDeleteBree would be 18 now, which would make Gina 20.
However, Gina was 15 as of April 2001, which means she would have to be 21 now...
We never really see her face in the third video. I wonder if it's really the same actress.
ReplyDeleteZoey-
ReplyDeleteThey did say that Bree was a new-born at the time. Gina's birthday could easily have been between October and April.
Hmm. Yep. I guess according to the math, Gina's birthday falls between Oct 26th, 1986 and Feb 1st, 1987.
