Corrie’s Alya will try to team up with Sally to bring down Geoff

Coronation Street’s Alya Nazir will try to team up with Sally Metcalfe in a bid to bring evil Geoff Metcalfe to justice.
Sair Khan’s character "will stop at nothing" to ruin villain Geoff (Ian Bartholomew), and she looks to the psychological abuser’s daughter-in-law Sally (Sally Dynevor) for help after she returns home from Spain to find out her grandmother Yasmeen Metcalfe (Shelley King) has been arrested for stabbing him.
The 32-year-old star said: "Alya takes matters into her own hands and goes to confront Geoff in hospital.
"She wants Sally and Tim to know about Geoff’s 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 seems to be treating Geoff as the victim.
"She’s led away by the police but manages to catch Sally alone and begs her to realise that this is so out of character for Yasmeen. She plants a seed of doubt in Sally’s mind about who Geoff really is.
"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."
Upon returning from Spain, Alya makes a beeline for the police station and airs her concerns that Geoff has been brainwashing her gran for months, but when Yasmeen is denied bail, her granddaughter realises there will be a "long fight" to clear her name.
Sair added: "She heads straight to the police station and wants answers. 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 that Geoff is unconscious and Yasmeen might’ve killed him the gravity of the situation really hits home!
"Alya lets rip about her feelings towards Geoff and her concerns that Yasmeen has been brainwashed after months of abuse.
"Although Imran is sympathetic he has to follow the law and right now Yasmeen is admitting her guilt so it doesn’t matter if he believes Alya or not.
"Alya is truly shocked at Yasmeen being denied bail, she’d held onto hope that the truth would come out and justice would be served.
"She now realises that this is just the beginning of a long fight. She’s angered but not surprised by Tims reaction. The battle lines have been firmly drawn."
