Corrie’s Mollie Gallagher looks very different from goth Nina on filming break
Coronation Street star Mollie Gallagher looks worlds apart from her sullen goth character Nina Lucas as she takes a break from filming at Roy’s Rolls
Soap star Mollie Gallagher looks completely different to her Coronation Street goth character Nina as she takes a break from filming.
The 22-year-old daughter of Oasis star Liam Gallagher looked worlds away from her character who usually wears her black make-up and gothic jewellery.
Despite being dressed in all black, Mollie appeared much more carefree and less pale than her Corrie character, wearing black trainers, black tights, a black skirt and a black printed t-shirt.
She also wore some large sunglasses and appeared much more subtle in her fashion choices than Nina as she walked around Salford Quays on Tuesday.
Mollie has played Nina Lucas since November 2019, when she was introduced as the long-lost niece of cobbles favourite Roy Cropper ( David Neilson ).
After the death of her father, Nina came to live with Roy and brought her own brand of deadpan humour and progressive politics to the street, where she now works in his café Roy’s Rolls.
Her recent storylines have explored her blossoming friendship with Roy, as well as her clashes with some locals over her views.
This week on the soap saw an irate Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) go on the rampage to get meat sausages cooked by Nina at the cafe, convinced she was pushing her vegan beliefs onto him.
In the end, Nina had simply run out of sausages and could not cook ones Steve had bought due to health and safety reasons.
The outburst came as Steve reached the end of his tether after his son with Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) was diagnosed with a terminal illness, mitochondrial disease.
When she joined the soap, Mollie said: “I am absolutely delighted to be in Coronation Street.
“I grew up watching the show and it is surreal to be on the set working alongside such incredible actors as David Neilson and Alison King.”
She added of her role: “Nina is a really interesting character, she is a bit of an outsider and although she is reluctant to let Roy into her life she soon realises they have more in common than she first thought.”
Coronation Street continues tonight on ITV at 7.30pm.
