This is the first look at the moment a vicious and hateful gang targets Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher) and her boyfriend Seb Franklin (Harry Visinoni) in a brutal attack in Coronation, that leaves them fighting for their lives.

Nina and Seb are accosted by Corey Brent (Maximus Evans) and his drunk cronies and Nina is abused with hateful terms.

Seb stands up for her but they walk away – only to then be followed by the gang.

The video clip from the dark episode shows Kelly Neelan (Millie Gibson) being egged on to slap ‘it’ referring to Nina.

As Nina and Seb are surrounded in an alley, they are subjected to an unprovoked and devastatingly violent attack, after which they are rushed to hospital.

Speaking about the storyline, Mollie Gallagher said: ‘I was told about the connection to what happened in real life with Sophie Lancaster which was absolutely heart-breaking. From the get-go I did lots of research, and we have been working with the Sophie Lancaster Foundation.

‘I was so grateful to be doing this storyline on an issue which is so important to highlight, I wanted to do it justice. Knowing this has happened and does happen breaks my heart. It is so important to raise awareness on the issue and I hope the storyline does this.’
