Coronation Street fans got their hopes up last week when two former lovers sat together in the Rovers.

After watching the scenes, fans took to social media to point out how Asha Alahan (Tanisha Gorey) and Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher) seemed to be getting on well, and wondered if a reunion may be on the cards.

Viewers will recall that Asha and Nina dated for quite some time, but they ultimately went their separate ways when Nina kissed Asha’s brother, Aadi Alahan (Adam Hussain).

Unfortunately for speculating fans, this betrayal is something that actress Tanisha Gorey suspects Asha would be unable to come back from, as she explained when I caught up with her at the British Soap Awards.

‘I love Mollie and I love Asha and Nina. I think their differences are what bring them together and I think they’re amazing together. I love them.

‘However, the pathetic kiss that Nina and Aadi shared, I just think Asha couldn’t come back from that, purely based on you’ve not only cheated but you’ve cheated with her brother. Her twin brother! I’m like, no. It’s a big no go. That’s it – done, blocked.’

She went on to explain that she’d like to see them as friends, but she doesn’t think they’d work as a couple given their history.

In terms of another romance, Tanisha admitted that she isn’t sure what the future holds for Asha.

‘I don’t know where Asha’s love life is leading right now. She’s a career woman and she’s saving lives. Maybe not on screen but she’s saving lives in the background and she’s trying her best.’

Earlier in our chat, we joked about how Asha was often on the scene when major characters met their maker, having failed to save both Mason Radcliffe and Craig Tinker this year alone.

This has gained her an hilarious nickname, she revealed, as we tried to work out if Asha had actually managed to save anyone on-screen yet!

‘Being a student paramedic, everyone calls me the Grim Reaper now. I get it, I get it! But it’s good.
