Coronation Street airs death twist in Zeedan fire storyline

Coronation Street spoilers follow.

Coronation Street has aired a shocking twist in Zeedan Nazir's money laundering storyline, as his father-in-law Hashim died, with Zeedan and Alya looking to use the situation to their advantage.

Hashim previously forced Zeedan into letting him burn down Speed Daal in order to claim on the insurance, nearly leading to the death of homeless man Stu. Although they previously told the police it was a chip fryer-related accident, tonight (December 10) saw the authorities tell the pair they believe it may have been arson, and ask to see the accounts.

Hashim turned up at Yasmeen's and threatened Zeedan and Alya, but started to suffer from a heart attack. As Zeedan went to call for an ambulance, Alya stopped him and told him that if Hashim died, so did all their problems.

She quickly changed her mind and called an ambulance as Ryan Connor arrived and tried to administer CPR. Before the ambulance arrived, however, Ryan stated that Hashim had died. He was suspicious about why they didn't to resuscitate him, but Alya said they didn't try to save Geoff Metcalfe last year because he was similarly evil and deserved it.

What to Read Next

Taking advantage of the situation, Alya told Zeedan that they're going to pin everything on Hashim and get off scot-free.

They made sure to get his fingerprints on the Speed Daal keys and put them in his car, kick their own back door in, and agree to tell the police that Hashim had been threatening them, and set fire to Speed Daal in an attempt to kill them.

Will the police believe their story? Will Zeedan, Alya or Ryan come clean about what happened? Alya isn't sure she can. One thing is for sure, Hashim's death absolutely isn't the end of the story.

Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
