Aadi Alahan is leaving Coronation Street soon (Picture: ITV)
It’s been something of a quiet time for Aadi Alahan (Adam Hussain) in Coronation Street recently. We’ve really only seen him standing behind the counter of the corner shop pricing up custard creams and dealing with the occasional shoplifter.
While Dev (Jimmi Harkishin) is away in India, Aadi has been keen to step up and make a success of looking after his dad’s business. He’s ambitious, in his own way, and focused. And, let’s face it, just a tiny bit boring.
This is what Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove) thinks, anyway. As Dev’s partner she thinks of Aadi and his sister Asha (Tanisha Gorey) as her step-kids and she looks out for their welfare.
So when she overhears a conversation between Aadi, Amy (Elle Mulvaney) and Summer (Harriet Bibby) she realises that Aadi is sounding middle-aged well before his time.

Since losing her son Paul (Peter Ash), Bernie is more aware than most that life is too short to waste and she tells Aadi to take the rest of the day off and go out and enjoy himself with his friends.
Aadi embraces this concept, and tells Summer and Amy that he wants to plan a party.
As we know that Adam Hussain is leaving his role as Aadi in the coming weeks, it seems that this could be the start of his exit storyline. Is something major going to happen at this party that will have repercussions that mean he’ll have to leave Weatherfield?

Adam has already confirmed that Aadi won’t die, so at least we can rule that out. ‘This isn’t a farewell for Aadi however, more like a see you later!’ he said in the Instagram post in which he announced his departure.
‘As some of you may have heard, I will be leaving Coronation Street for new pastures. Over the 5 years I’ve spent there I have learned so much about the world and the industry and now feel I am ready to spread my wings a little. I have made friends that will last a lifetime and will surely miss such a special family!
‘I’m excited to see what the future brings! Thank you Coronation Street for giving me such a privilege of portraying this character for you. Until next time!’
