Just when things seemed to settle down for Aadi Alahan after that terrible pill mix-up with Lauren, Coronation Street throws another surprise his way. He’s still trying to show he’s not the same awkward teen who messed up before, but his next move might complicate things even more.
Wait, Wasn’t He Just Into Amy?
Aadi’s love life has always been a bit chaotic. Not too long ago, he seemed really into Amy. That situation didn’t go anywhere, but it was only a short time ago that he was crushing on her. Now, unexpectedly, sparks are flying elsewhere. Lauren, who’s had a rough time lately, stops by the corner shop where Aadi works.
It starts off as just a light chat and suddenly takes a turn when emotions bubble up. Aadi admits he likes her too, and before long, they lean in for a kiss. A Coronation Street insider even joked that Aadi’s pulling a Dev move, saying he’s “a bit of a ladies’ man” like his dad. Despite the accidental drugging incident, Aadi doesn’t hold back when Lauren makes her move. He pushes the guilt aside and lets it happen. Very Aadi.
A Sweet Date Turns Sour Fast in Coronation Street
Feeling excited from the kiss, Aadi decides to treat Lauren to a romantic breakfast at the café. It’s one of those “maybe this could actually go somewhere” moments. But of course, nothing in Weatherfield stays simple for long. Just as they’re getting comfortable, Dev shows up, completely clueless, and makes an insensitive comment about Lauren’s dad being in prison.
The mood changes instantly. Not great timing, Dev. A source explained that Dev tends to “speak before he thinks,” but noted that being with Bernie has changed him a bit. He quickly realizes he’s upset Lauren and makes an effort to find her later. He apologizes and asks if they can get to know each other better. Still, you can’t help but wonder if Dev’s awkward timing has already damaged Aadi and Lauren’s new connection.
Just in Time for a Goodbye?
All of this is happening as Aadi’s time on the show is coming to an end. Actor Adam Hussain, who has played Aadi for five years, announced in April that he’s leaving Coronation Street. He mentioned that he’s learned a lot during his time on the show and feels ready to try new things.
He also made it clear that it’s not a final goodbye, more of a “see you later.” So, there’s still hope we might see Aadi back in the future. But in the meantime, it makes you wonder what’s next. Will this kiss with Lauren develop into a real love story? Or will it be Aadi’s last fling before he says goodbye to the cobbles?
