CELEB-WORTHY MEAL KITS
Weatherfield’s feistiest won’t let her gran go down without a fight
When Alya returns to Weatherfield after attending Zeedan’s wedding in Spain, she’s greeted by the news that her gran has been carted off by the police for attacking Geoff. After lashing out at Geoff with a bottle, Yas calls an ambulance and tells the operator that she’s “killed her husband”. While the panicked call gets Geoff help stat, it also incriminates her. Sair Khan, who plays Alya, explains what’s in store for her on-screen gran…
How does Alya feel to discover Yasmeen’s been arrested?
Alya’s truly shocked, but blames Geoff because she knows how twisted he is and how vulnerable her gran has been. But when Ryan tells her Yasmeen might’ve killed him, the gravity of the situation really hits home.
What happens when she confronts Sally and Tim? Alya takes matters into her own hands and confronts Geoff in hospital. She wants Sally and Tim to know about his various lies and deceits and how he’s rinsed her family business. She’s full of rage, but her outburst doesn’t impress DS Abney, who is treating Geoff as the victim. She’s led away by the police, but manages to catch Sally alone and plants a seed of doubt in her mind about who Geoff really is.
Is she angry with Yasmeen’s friends for ignoring the signs of abuse?
Alya wants to scream from the rooftops about who Geoff really is and what he’s done to her gran. Imran gives a stark warning that ruining the credibility of any potential witnesses will do Yasmeen even more harm.
Although Alya doesn’t want to jeopardise her gran’s bail hearing, she can’t help but scold her gran’s “friends” about how they’ve failed her.
When Alya finds out that Yasmeen’s been refused bail, is she angry at Tim for celebrating?
She now realises that this is just the beginning of a long fight. She’s angered but not surprised by Tim’s reaction. The battle lines have been firmly drawn.
Alya, Ryan and Imran seem to be Yasmeen’s only hope. What does Alya have planned?
Alya will stop at nothing to make sure the residents of Coronation Street find out what Geoff is really like. Her first plan is to find allies and she may just have found one in Sally. ■
