However, Nina has been surprised at how quickly their relationship is progressing, considering Asha had just broken up with Corey.
This week, viewers will see Nina's shock as Asha books a surprise night in a hotel.
But when Corey then throws homophobic insults at her and Nina in the street, that is the final straw for her and she starts to withdraw from Asha.
Tanisha shares plenty of stunning snaps on her Instagram page, including behind the scenes dressing room pictures.
She recently posted a loved-up Christmas post for one of her more recent displays, sharing a gushing tribute to her partner, reports the Daily Star.
Tanisha snapped two pictures of herself with her boyfriend Lucas, who she started dating last year, along with a selfie of them looking very cosy together.
She captioned the picture: "You are the best thing I could’ve ever wished for.
"I hope everyone had the merriest of Christmas’... sending all our love."
The actress also shared some glamorous snaps of herself out for cocktails last year when regulations allowed it, as she shared a snap in a bar with a yellow drink.
Wearing a leopard print dress, Tanisha smiled for the camera as she let her dark hair fall around her shoulders in sleek waves while keeping her make-up simple but elegant.
