Coronation Street aired Alya Nazir’s final scenes on the soap tonight. She drove away for a new life in Dublin, but is her exit for good?
Actress Sair Khan was waving goodbye to Corrie for a very special reason. So, will Alya – and Sair – be back?
Alya leaves Coronation Street
In recent scenes Alya has wanted to better herself at work. Quitting her job at Barlow’s Legal Services, Alya went to work for a rival company, who offered her a dream placement in Dublin.
Her move put former boss Adam Barlow’s nose out of joint – and not only because he’d lost an excellent legal secretary. In fact he realised he had grown very fond of Alya – in more than just a platonic way.
When they started working on a joint case together, Adam finally gave into temptation and kissed her. Alya was quick to respond, but they were caught by her new boss, Rich, who took the placement off the table believing her to be unprofessional.
Adam fought her corner and took the blame himself, meaning the Dublin job was back on.
Despite lots of longing glances with Adam, Alya knew it was too good an opportunity to pass up. Tonight (Wednesday May 8) she had leaving drinks with her gran Yasmeen, and prepared to depart Weatherfield.
There was just time for one last moment with Adam before she left as he presented her with a very expensive law book. She was genuinely touched and it was obvious she was torn over leaving him. But she denied this to Yasmeen, got in the taxi and left the cobbles.
Has Alya left Coronation Street for good?
Alya’s placement is for six months. Plus the show has set up something for her to come back for – a romance with Adam.
So it seems likely that she will be back in Weatherfield before too long. But what does the future hold for her and Adam? Will he wait for her? Or could she find herself a nice Irish boy like Yasmeen suggested?
Sair Khan’s baby joy
The exit for Alya is to cover actress Sair Khan’s maternity leave. She announced she was pregnant with her first child in December 2023.
Sharing her joyful news on Instagram, Sair posted two pictures of her and her partner, Nathan, she admitted a “real mix of emotions” surrounding her announcement.
She also revealed Nathan had had a tough year after a medical diagnosis left him needing surgery.
