Coronation Street double exit news leads to heartbreak in Weatherfield

Emotions were running high in Weatherfield tonight, as Coronation Street was hit with a double dose of devastating 'exit' news.

During Friday's episode, Aadi Alahan, who we know will be making an exit from the soap, told his sister Asha about his plans to leave, leaving her heartbroken.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that Aadi, who was played by Zennon Ditchett for a decade until Adam Hussain took over in 2019, would be leaving the soap - and it doesn't look like his exit is far away...

At the start of the episode, Aadi informed Dev and Asha that the police had let him off with a caution after Lauren reported him after his confession to his role in Lauren's LSD-induced hallucinations at a party.

"You were right dad, about me leaving this place, and starting all over again in India." Aadi said after sharing the news. "I'm gonna do it, and I'm gonna look at flights today," he said.

"Might as well get a move on. Especially now there's not much around here for me anymore," he continued.

A devastated Asha then reassured her brother by saying: "That's not true. You've got family, you've got friends. We'll miss you."

"Hope you're happy now," a devastated Asha said to her father Dev, who told Aadi that he must move to India to get back in line again following his recent behaviour.

At the end of the episode, Asha was left in tears while on the phone to Dev - who called to ask her where the big suitcase was in order to pack up Aadi's belongings. But how will Asha cope when Aadi finally says goodbye?

Elsewhere, it was judgement day for Lou, as she received her sentencing for attacking Gary Windass earlier this year. The attack came after he refused to give her money for blackmail and threatened to call the police.

It was later revealed that she had been sentenced to four years behind bars, leaving her children Brody, Joanie and Shanice devastated knowing their mum wasn't coming back home after it was confirmed she had left the soap.

Their dad, Mick was also sent to jail for murdering PC Craig Tinker in devastating scenes.

As Sally and Tim broke the news to the kids, the psychologists paid a visit to Joanie. They then told Sally and Tim it wasn't in the sisters' best interests to keep them apart. However, as they were leaving Shanice came running into the living room crying with a bloody knee, announcing that Joanie had thrown something at her.

It was then revealed that Joanie would have to be taken to another family, although Shanice was left gutted exclaiming that she didn't want her to go. But will she be back with her sister?

It comes after Sally was left horrified earlier this month, when she discovered bruises on Shanice's arm - leading to the pair calling social services.

Lou's final scenes aired last month, as it was revealed earlier this year that Lou and Mick would be leaving the cobbles after joining in February.

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8pm on ITV and ITVX.
