Corrie reveals Zeedan Nazir's return story as Alya makes mistake

Coronation Street spoilers follow.

Coronation Street has revealed how Zeedan Nazir will make his cobbles comeback, with his arrival coinciding with his sister Alya Nazir making a massive mistake.

In scenes to air next week, excited Yasmeen Nazir (Shelley King) will announce to Alya (Sair Khan) that grandson Zeedan (Qasim Akhtar), who was last seen on the cobbles in 2018, is coming to stay for her birthday. Elaine Jones (Paula Wilcox) also calls round to help celebrate the special occasion.

Later in the week, Alya faces a stressful situation when the food delivery is late at Speed Daal while she's working. As Elaine tries to calm the angry diners, Alya attempts to juggle phone calls with both the delivery driver and the bank.

The delivery eventually arrives but that isn't the end of Alya's problems. She is horrified when a customer points out that there is a tarantula crawling across one of the restaurant's tables, having escaped from a boy's rucksack.

The rest of the diners flee, with Alya trying to remain calm as she helps the boy search for his missing pet. The spider is finally caught, but there's yet more trouble in store for Alya.

After checking the business bank account, Alya tearfully tells Elaine that Yasmeen has somehow managed to empty it.

But it turns out that the empty bank account wasn't Yasmeen's doing, and the call that Alya took from the bank earlier on was actually from a fraudster who has cleared out the account.

Desperate Alya leaves Zeedan a voicemail, admitting to him that she has been scammed out of thousands of pounds and she has no idea what to do to try to fix the situation.

As Zeedan arrives at Speed Daal, Alya is forced to explain her horrible mistake to Yasmeen. Zeedan offers to transfer £50,000 to the Speed Daal account to keep the business tided over – but will Alya and Yasmeen accept the offer?

It has already been revealed that Alya will have her suspicions about Zeedan's new-found wealth, and her worries will intensify when Zeedan is attacked on the street. Could Zeedan be in serious trouble himself?

Actor Qasim has said that he is "excited to be back" on the cobbles, promising that we can expect to see him involved in "an explosive storyline".

"Zeedan's found himself in trouble yet again and I hope everyone tunes in to see madness unfold!" he said. "Watch this space..."

Coronation Street airs these scenes on Friday, September 17 at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
