Yahoo News Corrie to air racism story for Alya and Aidan
Coronation Street will explore a racism storyline when Alya Nazir makes a disturbing discovery about Underworld's new clients.
The storyline begins over Christmas when Alya (Sair Khan) starts to grow suspicious over why she's being cut out of key business meetings.
Alya and Aidan Connor (Shayne Ward) have vowed to join forces to get Underworld back on top, but we've already seen Alya become annoyed with Aidan for arranging an important meeting behind her back.
During the Christmas fortnight, Alya gets upset when she realises that Aidan has now arranged another meeting with the new clients without her, realising there must be a hidden agenda behind this strange behaviour.
Alya initially assumes that the two men – Justin and Dale Parker – are sexist and don't want to meet with her because she's a woman.
Determined to prove herself, no-nonsense Alya meets with the guys anyway, but is soon shocked to uncover the real reason she's being cut out.
As the discussions get under way, it becomes obvious that the Parkers are both racists as they make some appalling remarks about Alya and her religion.
Alya is stunned by what she's hearing, but knowing that the Underworld staff are all relying on the Parkers' support to get back in business, will she be forced to keep quiet rather than standing up for what's right?
And how will Aidan feel about the disgraceful way Alya is being treated?
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Wednesday, December 27 at 7.30pm on ITV.
