Fans of Coronation Street are going crazy since a fan favorite has confirmed that they are back on set, months after their character’s departure.
Over the years, Sair Khan, who has been bringing Alya Nazir to life on the cobbles since 2014, has created a number of intriguing tales. Though Alya had said goodbye to the streets earlier this year, Sair had actually been enjoying parenthood and celebrating the birth of her son in April.
Onscreen drama had teased viewers with the hint of a budding romance between Alya and her boss Adam Barlow (played by Sam Robertson), but she chose to jet off to Dublin for work instead.
But on Wednesday (September 11), Sair delighted followers by sharing an Instagram snap of her script, teasing with the caption “I’m Backstreet,”
Yet some Corrie watchers wasted no time speculating on what juicy plots await Alya upon her telly comeback. Echoes of excitement and theories buzzed online, with fans buzzing about a potential spark reigniting between Alya and Adam.
Fans flooded a Coronation Street Facebook fan page, with one viewer posting: “Wonder if Alya and Adam will get back together.” Another penned: “Brilliant his girlfriend is back.” A third added fuel to the speculation fire with: “Adam and Alya are sooo getting together then.”
In April, Sair Khan became a mum for the first time after enduring a 22-hour labour with her partner Nathan Chilton. She described the experience as an “absolute rollercoaster”.
Sharing the news on Instagram, she wrote: “He’s here! Okay, when I said ‘Spring awakening’ in my last post I didn’t mean ‘keep’ me awake. The new parent zombie look is definitely a thing isn’t it.”
She continued: “More importantly our little boy is just marvellous. Very serious and curious about the world. He’s super strong and so resilient for joining me on the absolute rollercoaster that was our 22 hours of labour. We didn’t quite get the birth i’d hoped for but that’s okay (two birth pools, no water birth).”
