Their relationship once had Weatherfield talking, and Coronation Street fans have long wondered if Asha Alahan and Nina Lucas might ever reignite their romance. Now, new words from Tanisha Gorey have put those hopes under the spotlight and the verdict may not be what some wanted to hear.
The Past That Shaped Them
Asha and Nina became a couple back in 2021, and their differences only added to the spark that drew them together. For a time, their relationship felt strong and meaningful, with viewers championing the young pair as one of the Street’s most promising love stories. But cracks appeared when Nina shared a kiss with Asha’s twin brother, Aadi.
The moment not only shattered Asha’s trust but also brought their romance to an abrupt end. From that point on, the idea of them as a couple seemed impossible. Even so, the two characters worked hard to rebuild their connection as friends. They’ve remained close in Weatherfield ever since, leading many fans to hope that maybe, one day, their love story could find a way back.
Why the Romance Is Over?
Tanisha Gorey has now spoken out, and she left no room for doubt about how she feels. She said she had always loved how different Asha and Nina were, pointing out that they clearly shared a strong affection for each other. But, she explained, what happened with Aadi was a betrayal that couldn’t be ignored.
The actress admitted she would not want them to reunite out of principle, because the trust between them had been broken. She stressed that for her, the relationship cannot go back to what it once was, no matter how much the characters cared. Still, she reassured fans that their friendship remains at the heart of their story. Tanisha revealed that Nina would continue to stand by Asha as a friend, even if romance is off the table for good.
For viewers who held onto hopes of a reunion, Tanisha’s words mark a firm closing of that chapter. The spark that once defined Asha and Nina’s love has now settled into something different. In this case, history has spoken, and Asha and Nina will walk forward together, but only as friends. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for all the latest Coronation Street news and spoilers.
