Coronation Street fans will 'double take' next week due to a major new cast change.
Aadi Alahan, the son of Corrie favourite Dev, has been recast ahead of a horrific new 'sexting' storyline.
Zennon Ditchett, who has played Aadi since 2009, made the decision to leave the show to focus on his A-Level Studies at the end of last year.
Bosses have now cast Manchester actor Adam Hussain in the role as Asha Alahan's twin bother - with the twins at the centre of a horrific new plot.
Asha is devastated when she sends a naked video to love interest Corey, which then gets sent to all her friends and ends up online.
Horrified Asha receives a flood of nasty messages and realises that her topless footage is in the public domain.
Aadi tries to protect his twin sister but is powerless to stop the damage to her reputation and she struggles to deal with the consequences.
New actor Adam, who has previously had roles in The Bay, Fertile Crescent and Ansentia, is excited to be taking on the role of Aadi amid the important storyline.
The young actor, who was already pals with his on-screen sister Tanisha Gorey, will make his first appearance on April 15.
Adam said: "I am excited to play the role of Aadi, putting my own twist on him as the character becomes involved in an important new storyline.
"I was already good friends with Tanisha Gorey, before coming to the street, which helps hugely with portraying the bond of brother and sister.
Adam has already filmed his first scenes on The Street but production has now been halted due to the coronavirus outbreak.
"Everyone at Coronation Street has been so welcoming, bringing me in to their family and treating me as one of their own.
"I have always associated Coronation Street with family and togetherness which is so important at this time.
"Having already filmed the start of this story before we had to stop production I look forward to returning as part of the amazing team who bring entertainment and joy to the screens of viewers across the nation."
Asha's life begins to crumble during a party at No.1, where Asha confides in Amy that she flashed her boobs for Corey on facetime.
Suddenly the house is swamped by a load of gatecrashers and Amy reckons Rick's daughter Kelly is to blame.
Corey scrolls through the pictures of Asha on his phone then accidentally smashes one of Tracy’s new lamps - leading to a fight between Amt and Kelly.
In all the commotion, the naked pictures of Asha are sent from Corey’s phone to the ‘party people’ group chat.
Angry Dev grabs Asha and drunken son Aadi and drags them home - where his daughter makes a horrifying discovery.
Devastated Asha is sickened to realise somebody posted her naked pictures and they’ve gone viral. Asha lies on her bed.
*Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV at 7.30pm
