Coronation Street star Junade Khan has teased more "dodgy dealings" ahead for his character Idris Nazir, hinting at further drama on the ITV soap. The actor shared the tease in an Instagram post alongside a new character promo picture, writing: "Some dodgy dealings coming up in Coronation Street."
Fans react to the hint
Khan did not reveal any spoilers, leaving fans guessing about Idris's next move. Viewers have been trying to determine whether Idris is a villain or just a bit dodgy, and the upcoming scenes could clarify this. One excited fan commented: "Got my popcorn ready," while another added: "Oooooohhhh." A third said: "We’ll keep our eyes peeled." Others responded with "So good! Great to see things liven up again" and "Exciting."
Idris's current storyline
Onscreen, Idris is attempting to get his hands on Alya Nazir's share of the restaurant Speed Daal. Alya, Idris's niece, owns it with Leanne Battersby, who is Idris's love interest. Fans are concerned that Idris may also try to take Leanne's share through desperate measures.
Cast member's social media post
The tease comes after fans were convinced a cast member had leaked a major spoiler on social media this week. Lucy Fallon, who plays Bethany, posted a photo with co-star Tina O'Brien, who plays her onscreen mother Sarah. Some fans speculated it meant Sarah was out of prison, but the photo is not likely to be a spoiler. Viewers noted the prison set is close to where they were, and the pair could have been on set on Wednesday, when the selfie was posted, during the solar eclipse. It does not confirm Sarah's fate.
Coronation Street airs weeknights at 8:30pm on ITV1 and ITV X.
