Leanne takes a huge risk in Coronation Street that could cost her dearly

In Coronation Street, Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) faces fresh trouble as Idris Nazir (Junade Khan) becomes a threat to her workplace and finances. Idris is portrayed as tied to a property empire and starts tense negotiations about Speed Daal, the curry house where Leanne works. The situation turns personal when Idris reveals he is the product of an affair involving his mother and Sharif, former husband of Yasmeen’s (Shelley King) relative; the key fallout is that this makes him the half-brother of Kal, Leanne’s late boyfriend. Speed Daal’s sale decision leaves Alya Nazir (Sair Khan), Idris’s cousin, needing £50k for her share. Idris plans to raise it by hosting a poker game, enlisting gangster Fiona Morley and involving officer Kit Green’s colleague Ollie, while Idris cheats.
