Coronation Street Icon Revives After 12 Years Amid Asha’s Downward Spiral
Fans of Coronation Street are speculating about a possible return of a beloved character amid Asha Alahan’s recent struggles. Asha, portrayed by Tanisha Gorey, has captured the audience’s heart since her debut in 2009.
Asha Alahan’s Ongoing Challenges
Asha is the daughter of Dev Alahan and Sunita Alahan, played by Jimmi Harkishin and Shobna Gulati, respectively. She has been central to many poignant storylines, highlighting critical issues such as body image and mental health.
Recently, Asha faced a traumatic incident where she was a victim of a racist attack in September. The attack, perpetrated by a drunk woman named Naomi, occurred while Asha was on duty. This event has taken a toll on her mental well-being, leading her into a downward spiral.
Tumultuous Developments
Things became increasingly difficult for Asha when her stepmother, Bernie (played by Jane Hazlegrove), attempted to seek revenge on Naomi, but the plan backfired. In a tragic twist during the episode aired on October 5, Asha was found unconscious on a bench after overdosing on pills and alcohol. She was later hospitalized and regained consciousness, revealing the gravity of her situation.
Fans Anticipate a Heartfelt Return
In light of Asha’s deteriorating circumstances, viewers are hopeful about the potential appearance of her mother, Sunita, who has been absent since her shocking death in a fire at the Rovers Return pub in 2013. Fans speculate that Sunita may return as a hallucination, similar to how other characters have experienced visions of deceased loved ones.
- Asha’s mother, Sunita, first appeared in 2001.
- Sunita was well-received for her role as a mother and wife.
- She was killed off in 2013 after a tragic storyline.
Fans have expressed their approval of this idea, with some predicting, “Asha is going to hallucinate Sunita. Like when Seb returned this year.” Such sentiments reflect the deep emotional connection viewers have with the characters.
Coronation Street continues to air Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 8 PM on ITV1 and ITVX, where Asha’s journey will undoubtedly unfold further.
