Idris Nazir arrives onto Coronation Street

A fair few heads were turned on the cobbles tonight as newcomer Idris arrived in Weatherfield. With two Speed Daal customers giving Leanne and Alya a hard time, Idris entered and got them to go elsewhere.

Alya was thrilled as her relative and cousin of her late father Kal made himself known. Leanne also impressed with his heroic actions.

Leanne recognised Idris from a wedding that she’d attended some years ago. She remembered how they’d both gotten on quite well.

Idris then revealed that he was in the property business. He had acquired an agency ‘down the road.’ Brody then tried to make a good impression and put the feelers out for a job working for Idris.

Later on, Adam Barlow feigned some concerns about Idris to Alya. She told him that she wasn’t just a fan of Idris because he was family. He was a smart guy who would do anything for those he cared about.

Adam might’ve been right to be concerned though as, after this chat, Brody almost caught Idris dragging a lad into the ginnel and demanding some money he owed him.

Coronation Street spoiler confirm ‘dangerous’ romance for Leanne and Idris

There’s romance in store of Idris and Weatherfield icon Leanne Battersby. But, Leanne could be set for heartbreak as it’s clear that Idris’ world is a tad dangerous.

As Idris begins settling into life on Coronation Street, he quickly finds himself causing a stir among the locals – especially Leanne. After stepping in during a heated confrontation, Idris leaves Leanne flustered when he later attempts to kiss her in the Rovers.

But not everyone is convinced by his charm. Alya wastes no time warning Leanne to keep her distance, while Idris also appears to be turning his attention towards Tracy, hinting that drama could soon be on the cards.

Things become even more suspicious at Speed Daal when Idris continues flirting with Leanne while asking Alya to deal with his legal matters. Although Adam reluctantly agrees to look over Idris’s files, concerns soon begin to grow.

Meanwhile, Brody appears happy working for Idris, but Dylan’s pointed comments about his past leave Leanne uneasy. After overhearing the exchange, she confronts Idris and demands to know whether his business dealings are really legitimate. What is Idris involed with?
