Coronation Street spoilers Alya Nazir star reveals secrets behind Aidan Connor’s will
Coronation Street star Sair Khan (who plays Alya Nazir) has revealed the reasons behind some of the decisions made by Aidan Connor (Shayne Ward) in his will. Next week, Alya will receive a huge shock when she finds out that Aidan left the factory to her. Whilst Carla Connor (Alison King), Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh) and Jenny Connor (Jenny Bradley) are already aware of the Aidan’s wishes for a couple of weeks, and have not told Alya she now owns Underworld as they try to figure out a way to keep hold of it. Speaking out for the first time about her storyline, actress Sair has revealed why Aidan decided Alya should have the factory following his suicide. And why she will be putting up a fight against Carla to make sure she keeps the business. v
Sair spoke to Digital Spy and said: “When Carla left, Alya took a instrumental role in the factory and worked her way back up. “The factory was robbed and everyone was out of a job, but Alya plays a big part in rallying the troops, so she has put a lot of time, effort, blood, sweat and tears into it. She feels at home there, so it means a lot to Alya. “Ayla is trying to keep the vision alive that she and Aidan have created in Carla’s absence, so she has a very strong and unique idea about where this factory is heading, but Carla keeps undermining her, which is really unfair.” She continued to explain why Alya and Carla will come head to head when determining the future of the business: “There is a lot of friction there, because Alya doesn’t believe in what Carla is doing and she doesn’t think it’s what Aidan would have wanted either. “Ayla thinks the friction is because she’s fresh and she has all the good, current ideas, whereas Carla left but is not trying to prove that she is still boss. As far as Alya is concerned, Carla doesn’t like the fact that Alya has build herself back up and resents that.”

Sair also spoke about how Alya reacts when she finds out the factory is now hers: “It’s complete disbelief and shock but actually, when she thinks about it, it does make sense because Aidan knew how much Alya believes in the factory. “Money aside, talking about dreams, ambitions and hopes for the future, they shared the same vision, so in that respect it does make sense for Aidan to give Alya the factory to carry that legacy on for him. “I absolutely, one hundred percent think that Alya can run the factory without Carla, but she needs help and support around her, people that believe in her like her family and the factory workers, because they are the cogs in the machine that keep everything running. “I think Alya needs to stay strong, stay focused, believe in what she’s doing, and as long as she has the support of her family, she can do this,” she added. The actress also spoke about how her character has developed throughout this storyline: “It’s really interesting to explore this new-found relationship between Alya and Carla because when Alya first started she was young, naive and didn’t know the business world very well…but now Carla Connor has met her match!”
