NINA Lucas worries about Asha Alahan as she makes a dangerous decision about thug Corey next week in Coronation Street.
The cafe assistant – who is played by Mollie Gallagher in the ITV soap – dumped Asha after realising they were moving too quickly – and told her they would be better off as friends.

But next week’s episodes of the soap will see Nina confide in Roy that she’s worried Asha would never have crawled back to Corey if she hadn’t dumped her.
She heads out to find Seb and tells him that they need to cool their relationship for a while as it’s hurting Asha.
Corrie bosses have revealed that Nina will clash with Corey and his gang of thugs in upcoming scenes.
The incident will spark a major tragic storyline over the coming months, which fans think will leave one Corrie teen dead.
Corrie boss Ian MacLeod previously revealed there would be a heartbreaking storyline involving Nina coming this spring.
He teased: “There’s a really big social realism story that’s going to draw in Roy Cropper and Abi Franklin.
“A huge story for next year involves Asha, Nina [Lucas], Aadi [Alahan], Kelly [Neelan] – they will be mixed up in a hard-hitting story [that’ll have] massive ramifications for Roy and Abi.
“It’ll be one of our biggest, serious social responsibility stories next year by a margin.
“It’s incredibly sad and tragic but a really important story.”
Ian later teased the storyline more, revealing to The Celeb Report: “There’ll be a fantastic and unique love story for Nina, which might not entirely end up where you expect now.”
“The love story will turn into a massive social issue story that deals with tolerance of people who are part of minority communities and don’t look like everybody else.”
“It’ll become a real talking point for next year – how does the world view people like Nina in reality?
“When they’re on Coronation Street, all of our characters take them under their wing – and the viewers have taken Nina to their hearts too.
