Coronation Street spoilers: Zeedan Nazir shocked as his estranged wife Marrium arrives

CORRIE’s Zeedan Nazir is up for another rude awakening as his estranged wife Marrium will settle some unfinished business.

The chef, played by Qasim Akhtar in the ITV soap, hoped to escape his past and Marrium’s threatening family in the cobbles.

Returning to Weatherfield earlier in 2021, after three years away, Zeedan was hiding things from his family, particularly from his sister Alya (Sair Khan) and grandmother Yasmeen (Shelley King).

It soon became clear that someone was after him when Zeedan was beaten and left in the streets.

While he initially suggested Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) as his attacker, before claiming he didn’t know who it was, Zeedan eventually came clean in September, 2021, to stop his family asking for help from the police.

Exposing the truth, Zeedan revealed that he had separated from his wife Marrium after marrying her months before.

Desperate for a fresh start, he had decided to return to Weatherfield but his gangster father-in-law Hashim was not happy with him.

Marrium’s father threatened Zeedan for breaking the marriage off with his daughter.

This wasn’t the only reason for his anger as Zeedan also confessed to having cheated on Marrium, thinking their marriage was over.

Marrium’s father vowed to have Zeedan killed for the betrayal with the help of Marrium’s brothers who were behind his assault.

The past weeks have particularly tense for Zeedan as he has been living in fear throughout Hashim’s attacks.

The feud took a turn when Zeedan began to launder money for him from restaurant Speed Daal, with the threats only increasing.

Hashim has even led Zeedan to set Speed Daal on fire in order to claim the insurance money.

Adding fuel to the fire (no pun intended), it now seems that Marrium is ready to settle some unfinished business.

In a brand new episode set to air on this week’s Coronation Street, Zeedan sets out to redecorate the family restaurant when Marrium suddenly arrives in Weatherfield.

This is the first time Zeedan sees his estranged wife since their separation.

Mortified by his former father-in-law’s threats and blackmail, Zeedan is shocked by Marrium’s arrival.

Could Marrium be of any help with Hashim’s vindictive ways? Or should Zeedan be prepared for more trouble?
