Corrie's Asha left distraught as she's 'blamed' for Corey killing Seb in court drama

Coronation Steer airs trauma for Asha Alahan, as she becomes embroiled in ex-boyfriend Corey Brent's court case.

Corey and Kelly Neelan, as well as some of Corey's mates, appear in court next week over the murder of Seb Franklin, and attack on his girlfriend Nina Lucas.

But Asha finds herself being the suggested motive behind Corey's killer actions, while he continues to deny being his killer - with Kelly in the frame.

The ITV soap will air a special flashback episode next week, that confirms what really happened the night Seb was murdered.

Seb and his girlfriend Nina were viciously beaten up and left for dead in a hate crime attack, with Nina's gothic appearance being targeted.

Nina was left in a really bad way and she is still struggling to cope after the horrifying attack earlier this year, which sadly led to Seb's death.

While Corey's actions were his own, with his pals accused of Nina's attack, poor Asha faces the fact that her history with Nina may have encouraged him to take action.

Lawyer Imran Habeeb is trying to prove Corey's guilt and free Kelly, and when he interrogates Asha as she takes to the stand he soon brings her past into it.

Asha and Corey were dating before she moved on with Nina earlier this year.

She and Nina soon split, and Asha reunited with vile Corey - while Nina began dating Seb, only for their romance to be tragically cut short.

Next week as the court scenes get underway, Imran implies Asha could be behind Corey's motive for instigating the assault on the couple, as he terrorised them before encouraging the group to stalk them.

After following them both in the dark, Corey began attacking Seb in scenes to be shown for the first time next week, while Nina was attacked by two other boys.

As Imran begins his interrogation in front of those witnessing the trial, he suggests Asha and Nina's romance left Corey jealous.

He questions if Corey targeted Nina and ended up killing Seb in a rage, because Nina was the person Asha was in love with and not him.

Imran asks if Seb maybe got in the way of his plan to target Nina, all because of Asha's true feelings.

She's left horrified by the implication that this was somehow her fault, and as she races outside of the court she sobs in the arms of her furious father Dev.

But will Asha be able to move forward and accept she is in no way responsible for what Corey and the others did?

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:30pm and 8:30pm on ITV.
