Corrie's Zeedan reveals deadly secret after framing Ryan for brutal crime

Coronation Street aired violent scenes on Monday night, with Zeedan Nazir attacked and left injured in the street.

Zeedan only returned to the cobbles a week ago after three years away, but it seems he has brought trouble right to his door.

The character has been hiding something, and after he was taken to hospital he made a shocking decision instead of telling the truth.

As Zeedan's sister Alya and grandmother Yasmeen tried to get to the bottom of the attack and a motive, Zeedan allowed them and the police to believe it was Ryan Connor behind it.

Ryan being Alya's ex, he had rowed with Zeedan earlier on but was not behind the assault, and Zeedan knew this.

As the police questioned Ryan, they learned he was at work the entire time and had witnesses for his alibi.

But Ryan was gutted that Zeedan could frame him like he did, and that Alya was willing to believe he might have been the attacker.

Zeedan had received a mystery call from someone who was breathing down the phone, while he was at the hospital, and then the same number tried to call him again later at the house.

Alya told him to answer the phone but her brother lashed out at her, before being forced to reveal what was really going on.

Zeedan soon dropped a worrying confession that he was in big trouble, and had received serious death threats.

He confirmed that despite claiming he and his wife Mariam were all good after their wedding last year, they had in fact split.

Declaring they were over for good, he revealed he left his wife some time ago and that this was the start of his issues.

Zeedan admitted he knew who attacked him and said that people were after him, because he left his wife.

Mariam's father and brothers were now harassing him and were behind the brutal attack, after learning he was in Weatherfield.

It's then that Zeedan told his loved ones that he could be in danger, as he had been issued some threats - which he did not think were genuine at first.

As Yasmeen asked what they'd said to him, he told them how Mariam's father had said he was going to kill him.

But what are they after, and should Zeedan watch out?

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