Coronation Street: David Neilson reveals Roy’s reaction to Nina’s decision to change her identity
It has been revealed Nina will start to blame herself and her identity for Seb’s attack and decides to change her appearance.
David Neilson, who plays Nina’s uncle, Roy, revealed his character’s reaction to Nina’s change.
Speaking to Entertainment Daily and other media: “It feels terrible. She’s going to become more like him – beige. ‘Cause that’s the thing they do contrast and she’s conforming.”
He continued: “The thing is with Roy, he avoids the crowds. He’s not part of the crowd, and Nina is not part of the crowd and suddenly she wants to dress to be invisible and to be part of the crowd.
“Roy can see that’s damaging to her individuality and personality. But it is obviously a phase.”
