Coronation Street fan-favourite falls and bangs his head in devastating scenes
Aadi Alahan (Adam Hussain) reaches his lowest ebb in upcoming Coronation Street episodes as his previous mistakes catch up with him – and he ends up with a nasty injury. Left responsible for the corner shop in Dev (Jimmi Harkishin)'s absence, Aadi was keen to show that he has inherited his father's flair for business. Sadly, for everyone concerned, he really hasn't. He ended up getting the business into so much debt he was forced to enlist Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) to stage a robbery as part of an insurance scam to try to pay the debts off – only to find the insurance wouldn't pay up because he'd missed a payment. Added to these woes, in an attempt to kick back from the world of business and have some fun, Aadi threw a party – but that went horribly wrong, too. Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) ended up accidentally taking some LSD and wandered off into the night, being tortured by terrifying hallucinations of Joel Deering (Calum Lill), the man who previously abused her. She ended up falling and badly injuring herself. Aadi and Lauren have started a sweet relationship together since then, but this is bound to be less sweet when she finds out the person who spiked her at the party was Aadi – even though it wasn't deliberate. Luckily on the business front at least, Aadi's about-to-be step-mum Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) came up with a plan to help him out financially by creaming off some of her and Dev's wedding fund. In upcoming episodes the wedding day arrives, but as the ceremony is about to begin, Bernie's health takes a turn and she collapses, struggling to breathe. As she's rushed off to hospital and Dev summons everyone to her side, it's clear that this is serious. For Aadi, his world has come crashing down. Fearing that he's partly to blame for Bernie's collapse he knows that without her in his corner it's only a matter of time before Dev finds out that he made a mess of the business. More Trending Feeling incredibly guilty about that and about hiding the truth about the party from Lauren, Aadi resorts to getting drunk in Victoria Gardens, ignoring Lauren's attempts to call him.

With his dad's reaction ringing in his ears, Aadi heads out again and Theo (James Cartwright) and Gary (Mikey North) later find him in a drunken state leaning against Gary's van. As Theo tries to gently steer him away, Aadi falls and bangs his head. View More » With Adam Hussain set to leave the show, could this blow to the head be a fatal one for Aadi?

Coronation Street spoiler 'confirms' sad exit from ITV soap 19 years after debut
Coronation Street spoilers appear to confirm the exit storyline for one character, as they prepare to bow out of the ITV soap after being born on the show in 2009 It's the beginning of the end for one Coronation Street character it seems, as spoilers tease an exit is fast approaching. One character is set to bow out of the ITV soap this year, with the actor playing the role confirming this. But now new details appear to confirm the departure and that it will be soon. Corrie spoilers tease the moment Aadi Alahan's disastrous actions and crimes catch up with him next week. The son of Dev Alahan is struggling with recent events, knocking back the booze. His debt, the theft from his family in a staged robbery and the fact his drug-use led to Lauren Bolton's injuries after the house party all lead to him spiralling. Actor Adam Hussain confirmed not so long ago he was leaving the role, and with that we knew Aadi would depart at some point. Since then the character's life has begun to fall apart, with his relationship with Lauren built on lies, and his stepmother Bernie Winter covering up his deceit from the family, and trying to help him claw back the money he owes. Things reach a head next week, with spoilers revealing a turning point. Amid an incident at Dev and Bernie's wedding that sees Bernie rushed to hospital and in a bad way, Aadi hits the booze. At this point his relative Aunty Rani has arrived, and after offering funds towards the wedding she is keen to keep track of what's being spent. Aadi panics, knowing full well he's trying to get things on the cheap to make savings to get the money back. When everything kicks off with Bernie, it's left unknown what happens next - but the family are all called to the hospital. In the following episode, it all gets too much and he hits the bottle. He ends up falling and hitting his head after an incident with Theo Silverton, while it's clear Aadi is hitting rock bottom. As Lauren grows concerned for her new man, it becomes apparent he is avoiding her unable to handle the guilt. So when she heads off to find him and tracks him down, nothing can prepare her for what he's about to reveal. Aadi decides he can't lie anymore, and decides to tell Lauren all about the LSD and how it was his drink laced with the drug that she drank, leading to her being seriously injured. A picture shows Lauren looking horrified but how will she react to Aadi's lies? Soon enough Aadi decides the truth needs to be shared, and he braces himself to reveal all to dad Dev and his family too. Viewers will have to tune in to find out hoe he reacts to this, and what this means for Aadi ahead of his exit from the show. Might Aadi face trouble for what happened? Might he end up fleeing, or will he decide to move away and have a fresh start? All will be revealed soon. Aadi has been on the show since 2009, with Sunita welcoming him and his twin sister Asha on the show - and soon, after 19 years, the character will be heading off.

Exit looms for Aadi in Coronation Street as he makes two major confessions
A couple of months ago actor Adam Hussain announced on his Instagram that he would soon be leaving Coronation Street and his role of Aadi Alahan. 'I guess the secrets out now!' he wrote. 'As some of you may have heard, I will be leaving Coronation Street for new pastures. 'Over the 5 years I've spent there I have learned so much about the world and the industry and now feel I am ready to spread my wings a little. I have made friends that will last a lifetime and will surely miss such a special family!' In recent weeks the path to his exit has been laid out, beginning with a party that went disastrously wrong. Aadi had been left in charge of his dad's business while Dev (Jimmi Harkishin) was away in India. Aadi was keen to step up and show that he has what it takes to be a young entrepreneur, but he was so focused on this task that he didn't have any social life. So Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove) suggested a party. Unfortunately things got out of hand when some of the party-goers took LSD, including Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton). She hadn't realised she was taking the drug and had a very bad reaction, hallucinating that she was being pursued by evil Joel Deering (Calum Lill). In her terror she fell and injured herself badly, ending up in hospital. Aadi felt guilty for being responsible for drugs being at the party and did what he could to help her. This has led to the two of them embarking on a romance – but if Lauren knew that Aadi was the cause of her being 'spiked' she'd be furious. It's not the only secret hanging over Aadi. It turned out that he'd over-estimated his readiness to step into Dev's shoes and made quite the mess of the shop's finances. He tried to fix this by getting Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) to stage a robbery, thinking the insurance would pay off the debt he'd accrued. Unfortunately one of the many things that Aadi had done wrong was to forget to pay the insurance premiums. Bernie soon worked out that Aadi was behind the 'robbery' and made him admit everything else. Not wanting there to be a rift between Dev and his son, Bernie has come up with a plan to sort Aadi's financial woes out. Dev has been given a large sum of money for his wedding to Bernie, so Bernie's plan is she'll get everything for the wedding on the cheap, falsify the receipts and the difference will pay off Aadi's debt, with Dev being none the wiser. With the wedding about to take place it's make or break time for this plan, and with Aunty Rani turning up in Weatherfield to keep an eye on the proceedings and how her money is being spent, Bernie's plan is proving trickier than she envisaged. Like any soap wedding, the big day itself is eventful, but eventually Bernie walks down the aisle on Kit (Jacob Roberts)'s arm as Dev waits expectantly. The magical moment is soon followed by total panic as Bernie collapses, struggling to breathe. Asha (Tanisha Gorey) rushes to give first aid as an ambulance is called.

More Trending In the wake of these shocks, Aadi is feeling guilty for the mistakes he's made and the stress he must have put on Bernie, and he gets drunk in Victoria Gardens. Lauren eventually tracks him down there and he decides he has to come clean about what happened at the party. And when Dev gets home, Aadi braces himself to tell his dad the truth about his mishandling of the business and the debts he piled up. View More » How will Dev react?
