[edit] Background
Gina is a single woman of Italian descent who lives next door to the Suarez family. She has a reputation for stealing guys from other women and then using them to get what she wants, only to dump them later. She also spent some time in juvenile detention as a teen and will use her petty-crime type reputation to her advantage.
Gina also has a beef with the Suarez sisters. Betty blames Gina for causing her break-up with Walter. She would later learn that Gina just used him to get a TV set that Betty would later indirectly break (resulting in Gina stealing the "book" for MODE to try to force Betty to give her $4,000 to cover the cost). Hilda simply doesn't like Gina and would like nothing more than to fight her if she messes with Hilda's family.
We find out later that Hilda stole Gina's routine in a Miss Teen Queens pageant, and won. They also have a seasonal rivalry during the Christmas season which involves destroying decorations, upsetting Hilda's son Justin and father Ignacio. These series of events provides contention between Hilda and Gina.
Gina also knows about Ignacio's immigration troubles and was the one who told Betty about Leah. Her presence and her rivalry with Betty and Hilda will be felt in future episodes.
