RECENT weeks have shown Alya Nazir putting her life on the line to save Weatherfield residents.
The Speed Daal co-owner portrayed by Sair Khan makes a surprising decision next week in Coronation Street.
Alya Nazir has recently put her life on the line
She was recently stabbed as part of an act of terrorism
She makes a shocking decision next week ahead of Blake’s sentencing hearing
After getting rid of a bomb planted in the cobbles by Griff Reynols, Alya Nazir took a knife to the gut upon seeing Maria Connor’s life was in danger.
Following a difficult recovery, Alya is still facing trauma from the attack perpetrated by Blake who tried to keep Griff Reynolds’ horrific legacy alive.
In scenes due to air on ITV next week, she comes face to face with a man named Jayden at Barlow Legal Services – a client who has been accused of stabbing someone.
Before Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) and Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) can stop her, Alya’s emotions get the best of her and she angrily describes to him what it’s like to be stabbed.
Her former flame Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) listens to her tirade and suggests she should put it all down in her personal victim statement.
Later on at No.6, Ryan pulls Alya in for a hug which soon turns into a passionate kiss.
As mentioned above, Alya was stabbed by a lad called Blake as she tried to save Maria Connor’s life, meaning she has a say in the knifeman’s trial as his main victim.
Will she take Ryan’s advice? This remains to be seen.
But before she can, Alya makes a surprising decision implicating Max Turner, who is accused of encouraging terrorism and incitement to murder after being a part of Griff Reynolds’ far-right group.
Alya has struggled with the wayward teen but when Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) sees the lad is having a hard time at the STC, he asks her if she’s considering going to visit Max.
Although he faces justice for using his video editing skills to help Griff, Max has mostly been a victim of grooming as part of a hard-hitting storyline on radicalisation.
This prompts Alya to visit Max at the STC, shortly after he was attacked by other inmates.
Once he faces her, Max explains to Alya how his life was a mess and Griff came to him at a very troubled time.
How will Alya react?
In later scenes, Alya reads out her victim statement written out for Blake’s sentencing hearing due to occur the following day as her grandmother Yasmeen (Shelley King) listens.
David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) then approaches her, thanking for taking the time to visit Max.
What comeuppance will Blake get for stabbing Alya?
Can she ever forgive Max for his involvement with Griff?
Coronation Street airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8pm on ITV.
Max has been taken away to an STC
Can Alya face him without holding a grudge?
