The Alahan family in Coronation Street have had their fair share of ups and downs, with Aadi preparing to leave Weatherfield and Asha struggling to come to terms with the thought of life without her twin. But just as Asha tries to focus on her work as a trainee paramedic, her next callout leads her into a situation that turns far more personal than she ever imagined.
Asha’s Growing Struggles
Before the crash, viewers will see Asha pushed to her limits at work. In a special one-hour episode on Monday, her role as a trainee paramedic becomes overwhelming. She faces case after case that shows both the highs and lows of the job, and the episode places her right at the centre of the action.
Tanisha Gorey, who plays Asha, said she felt honoured to take on such a storyline. She explained that stepping into the shoes of a trainee paramedic had been moving and eye-opening. She also said she hoped the story would spark conversations and help people better understand the reality faced by emergency workers.
On top of this, Asha has also been dealing with personal heartbreak. Earlier this year, it was confirmed that Adam Hussain would be leaving the show after five years as Aadi. His character was told to travel to India after several of his relationships broke down.
Gorey admitted that Asha felt devastated about his exit. She explained that although the twins often had a love/hate bond, Aadi was her best friend and greatest support, so his leaving left her feeling more alone than ever.
Coronation Street: The Crash That Shocks Asha
In Tuesday’s episode, Aadi continues preparing for his move abroad. Asha clearly struggles with the thought of him starting a life far away and feels sad at the idea of saying goodbye. After she finally parts ways with him, Asha sets off for her shift with Sienna.
But her first call takes her to the scene of a car crash. The moment turns worse when she realises the vehicle involved belongs to Aadi. Horrified, she is left with one terrifying question, was her brother in the car? The accident now throws the Alahan family into fresh turmoil.
Just as Asha thought she had to deal with the pain of Aadi leaving, she now faces the fear that something far more serious has happened to him. The mystery around the crash leaves big questions hanging. Will Aadi’s exit be through his move to India, or will this accident change everything?
