In a move that has stunned Coronation Street fans, actor Adam Hussain has confirmed his departure from the iconic ITV soap after four years in the role of Aadi Alahan. The announcement signals the end of a significant chapter for the Alahan family on the famous cobbles.
The actor, who joined the show in 2020, has decided to leave the Manchester-based series to pursue new acting opportunities beyond Weatherfield. His final scenes are scheduled to air later this year, though producers are keeping the exact nature of his exit storyline tightly under wraps.
Hussain's portrayal of Aadi Alahan has been central to some of the show's most dramatic storylines in recent years, including a harrowing grooming plot and the emotional fallout from his character's devastating car crash. His performance has earned praise from both critics and loyal viewers alike.
In a statement about his departure, Hussain expressed mixed emotions: "Playing Aadi has been an incredible experience and I've loved every minute of my time on the show. I'm grateful for the opportunity and excited to see what the future holds for my acting career."
The exit will undoubtedly create significant ripples within the show's narrative, particularly for the Alahan family unit consisting of father Dev (played by Jimmi Harkishin) and sister Asha (Tanisha Gorey). Speculation is already mounting about whether Aadi's departure will be permanent or leave the door open for a potential return.
Series producers have remained coy about how they will write out the character, but have promised that Hussain's exit will be "memorable and impactful" for the long-running series. With several months of filming still to air, viewers can expect plenty of drama before Aadi's final goodbye.
