Ok, so I was scrolling through Twitter yesterday when my phone blew up with messages from fellow Corrie obsessives. "Have you SEEN this?!" My friend Jess was practically screaming through the screen. And there it was - some random studio tour visitor had just casually dropped the mother of all spoilers about Alya Nazir's future. I mean, seriously? Two months before it even airs? Talk about ruining the surprise!
The leak? A "For Sale" sign spotted outside No. 6 Coronation Street during an ITV studio tour. Yep, the Nazir family home since 2013 is officially on the market. Someone snapped a pic and shared it online without realizing they were basically spoiling a major storyline that won't air until June. Oops.
What the heck happened to the element of surprise?
I've been watching Corrie since my uni days back in 2008, and half the fun is not knowing what's coming. My mum and I have a standing Monday night call to discuss the week's episodes - she's gonna be so annoyed when I tell her about this leak.
God. Remember when spoilers were just theories on dodgy fan forums?
The house has been Alya's solo residence since Yasmeen's departure last month. And I'll admit, I got a bit emotional watching those farewell scenes. After everything Yasmeen went through with that monster Geoff (that coercive control storyline from 2020 still gives me nightmares), I was happy to see her character finally get a fresh start in London.
So... is Alya leaving too?
Apparently not! A Corrie insider confirmed that while Alya is selling the house for Yasmeen, she's not actually leaving Weatherfield. Which makes sense - her character has too much going on right now between her relationship with Adam Barlow, supporting DeeDee, and her new business partner at Speed Daal after Yasmeen sold her shares to Leanne Battersby.
I spent $30 on a Corrie subscription service last year just to avoid spoilers, and now they're being handed out for free on studio tours. The irony isn't lost on me.
Who's moving into teh Nazir house then?
This is where it gets interesting. Some fans (including my cousin who hasn't missed an episode since 1995) are betting that Carla Connor and Lisa Swain might snap it up. Can you imagine that household? Carla, Lisa, Betsy and Ryan all under one roof? The drama potential is off the charts.
Carla was already eyeing up Gail Platt's place before it went up in flames. Poor Gail - 50 years on the street and her goodbye gift was watching her house burn to the ground thanks to Max Turner's shenanigans. That episode had me reaching for the wine, not gonna lie.
The curse of filming two months ahead
Here's the thing about soaps - they film 8-10 weeks in advance. Great for production schedules, terrible for keeping secrets. I once met a Corrie extra at a friend's wedding in 2022 who accidentally told me about a Christmas death scene while we were waiting at the buffet. Spent the next two months pretending to be shocked when it aired. Exhausting.
Alya's been through so much lately. Ramadan without her grandmother, supporting friends through crises, and now selling her family home.
I feel for Sair Khan (who plays Alya). Imagine working on emotional scenes for weeks only to have some random visitor spoil the storyline before it even hits screens.
The Weatherfield real estate market is WILD
First Gail's house burns down. Now the Nazir place is up for sale. At this rate, half the street will have new owners by Christmas. My husband jokes that we should put in an offer - "Imagine the commute though," I told him. Manchester to our flat in Bristol every day? No thanks.
Listen. I'm not usually this invested in fictional property sales. But after watching these characters for years, you start to care about the stupid little things.
Wonder what Yasmeen would think about her house being sold. After everything that happened there with Geoff, maybe it's for the best. Fresh starts and all that.
So there we have it. Another Corrie spoiler in the wild. And now we wait... approximately 8 weeks to see who ends up with the keys to No. 6.
Anyone wanna place bets? My money's on Carla adn Lisa.
