Corrie's Nina unrecognisable with new blonde look as she holds Asha hostage

Nina Lucas takes drastic action on the Coronation Street cobbles next week in a bid to stop her gilrfriend travelling to Glasgow and she'll be seen sporting a new blonde look.

The cafe worker played by Mollie Gallagher has been struggling with panic attacks following the brutal murder of her boyfriend Seb Franklin in May last year.

The character was at the forefront of the soap drama in the harrowing hate crime storyline as goth Nina and Seb were set upon over the way she looks.

Mollie, who has played Nina Lucas since November 2019, won the Serial Drama Performance gong at the National Television Awards in September for the role.

There's drama when Nina's girlfriend Asha wants to apply for Glasgow University but worries about leaving Nina when she’s so vulnerable.

Having spotted the prospectus in Asha’s bag, Nina puts on a brave face and encourages her to enjoy a day out in Glasgow.

But when she learns there are floods expected in Glasgow, a panicky Nina shares her fears about Asha’s train journey with Roy.

When Asha calls in at the cafe to see Nina before setting off to Glasgow, Nina pockets her phone.

Asha’s shocked to find Nina’s taken her phone as she refuses to let her go to Glasgow, and she's alarmed when Nina locks the cafe door to stop her leaving.

In a first-look photo shared by the soap Nina looks dramatically different with ice white slices of colour in her jet black locks.

And her curly hair is worn in a smooth, shoulder-length style.

In November the Corrie favourite, 24, showed off her new hair away from the cobbles and looked unrecognisable.

dawn.stephens1967 told her: "Wow what a difference."

preston21997 commented: "Billie Eilish you look like Nina."

And juliehimsworth complimented: "Beautiful girl Xxx love the new look."
