Coronation Street twist in ITVX release as true culprit of crime is confirmed
A Coronation Street criminal has been exposed in recent episodes after a robbery twist.
Aadi Alahan (Adam Hussain) was left shaken when a masked robber raided the shop, stealing a large sum of money from the safe while armed with a wrench.
Aadi reported the theft to the police, but when he pointed out his relief that they were insured, Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) grew suspicious.
She was right to be concerned, as it later transpired that Aadi had staged the whole thing!
However, he wasn't alone – he had also roped in Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) to do the heavy lifting, so to speak.
Unfortunately, Brody didn't exactly play by the rules, having attempted the robbery in the middle of the day, when Aadi had specified that he do it at night.
As the lads debated the crime and Brody's payment, they were unaware that Bernie had heard everything, and soon Aadi was forced to confess the truth.
He explained how he had taken out a loan to compensate for over-ordering stock, and that he was now in £6000 of debt.
He revealed that he had taken that amount from the safe in order to pay off the loan, and staged the robbery to claim the money back from the insurance. More Trending
Bernie was horrified, but eventually decided to keep quiet about her knowledge of the set-up, citing her desire to keep the peace between the boys and their fathers.
However, as Bernie and Aadi discussed how they were going to keep the secret from Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin), they were horrified when he arrived home from his trip unannounced.

Coronation Street confirms dark scenes as concern grows for Todd
Things got intense for Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) in tonight's Coronation Street, after an enormous fight with Theo Silverton's (James Cartwright) family. Amid his journey to help Theo come to terms with his sexuality, Todd has crossed paths with Noah – the man who subjected Theo to conversion therapy. It is safe to say that Noah and Todd's beliefs don't align, and recent scenes saw Todd lash out at him. In tonight's episode, Todd had to face Noah in a restorative justice session, in order to avoid any further repercussions for his actions. Despite not getting much out of the session itself, Todd made a shocking discovery when he returned to the community centre to collect his phone. He overheard Noah calling his new girlfriend – Theo's ex-wife Danielle (Natalie Anderson)! Meanwhile, Theo had planned a lunch with Millie and Miles, and had invited Danielle to join them at the Bistro. Unfortunately, things took a dramatic turn when Todd came barrelling in to reveal Danielle and Noah's relationship to Theo. Theo was understandably hurt, but the situation got even more out of hand when Miles launched at Todd for ruining their family dinner. While attempting to separate them, Theo ended up punching Miles in the face, leaving everyone stunned. Following his violent outburst, Theo blamed Todd for Miles' injury, and stormed out. Several hours later, he finally returned, having left Todd worrying about him. More Trending However, Theo was unremorseful, and asserted that he was going to bed, and that Todd should sleep downstairs.

Coronation Street's Debbie dealt with family betrayal amid dementia battle
Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) took drastic action after she discovered her own brother Kevin (Michael Le Vell) had betrayed her during the latest episode of the ITV soap Coronation Street's Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) was left on the verge of tears as she was discovered a family member's betrayal during Wednesday's episode. As viewers of the ITV soap will know, earlier in the week, Abi Webster ( Sally Carman) slept with her brother-in-law Carl (Jonathan Howard) after weeks of holding back her feelings. It all came about after she had discovered that her husband Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) had been lying to her about his cancer, having been given the all-clear months ago. She tried to pack her bags after her encounter with Carl, but was persuaded to stay by her stepson Jack (Kyran Bowes) and when the teenager spotted his Aunty Debbie on the Street, she coaxed the situation out of him. The hotel owner, who was diagnosed with vascular dementia earlier this year, stormed round to number 13 to ask what she thought she was doing when her husband is so sick. She told Abi: "If anybody treated me the way you're treating my brother, it's disgusting! Shame on you. In sickness and in health, to death us do part. Does that ring any bells?" In the heat of the moment, Abi revealed the truth as she told a shocked Debbie: "Your precious, do-no-wrong brother has been lying to us all for weeks." Furious, Debbie marched over to the garage where Kevin was at work and yelled: "You're cancer- free!" Through tears, she added: "Of all the despicable things to do, to lie about something like that, when you know what I'm going through. What I've got. Shut your gob!" Kevin tried to wriggle out of the situation, but Debbie was having none of it, as she coldly told him: "I'm sure you can justify giving me sleepless night after sleepless night. I don't want to know, because, that's the most liberating thing about having a terminal illness. You get to choose what you care about." At that point, Debbie turned to her younger brother Carl, and quickly sussed out that he was also in on the lie. Before leaving the scene, the hotel manager looked Kevin in the eye and told him: "I hope you hold onto your wife, because you've just lost your sister." Later on, Abi apologised to Kevin for telling Debbie the truth, but he took full responsibility for the situation. He added: "Can't blame our Debbie for disowning me, I bet you wish you'd left me now," although Abi did not give him a response. Despite the major revelation, Debbie and Kevin are still unaware of Abi's infidelity. Earlier this week, Carl declared that their initial encounter was 'worth the wait' and they kissed Abi claimed that things with Kevin were over. But later, in the Rovers, Carl did not seem so keen on the idea of Abi calling off her entire marriage as she weighed up what they had begun. As viewers will know, last week, Carl organised the theft of an expensive car and is aware that his brother could have him arrested at any moment. "Don't I deserve to be happy?" she asked him and he told her to go home to be with Kevin. In the days before Kevin's brother arrived on the cobbles, the mechanic was famously married to Sally Metcalfe ( Sally Dynevor) and they had daughters Rosie ( Helen Flanagan) and Sophie ( Brooke Vincent) together. They initially split up when Kevin had an an affair with Natalie Barnes ( Denise Welch) but they remarried in 2002. Their marriage survived numerous infidelities on both sides, but ultimately crumbled when Kevin fathered Jack with Molly Dobbs (Vicky Binns) before she died in the 2010 tram crash as part of the programme's 50th anniversary. Carl is the son of Kevin's dad Bill Webster (Peter Armitage) and his second wife Elaine (Judy Gridley) and spent most of his life in Germany with his parents until he arrived on the Manchester backstreet earlier this year. In real life, Jonathan spent 10 years in LA and working alongside big-name stars including Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins, but the 38-year-old actor ranks landing a part in Corrie among his greatest achievements. He told The Mirror: "Being in Coronation Street is just as big a thrill as being in a Hollywood film or an American TV series. It's all the same, everyone's telling stories, whether it's a big $200m movie or a soap like Corrie. As a Lancashire lad born and raised, the dream was to be in Coronation Street – that was the ceiling, so it feels wonderfully surreal to now be acting with people like Kevin Webster that I watched religiously as a kid. "My friends ask me, 'what you have been up to today?' and I reply 'I took Tracy Barlow for a drink in the Rovers Return!' It's just incredible to say these things."
