Coronation Street has confirmed details and released a short teaser trailer for a special episode featuring Asha Alahan.

Set to air on Monday 25 August, the hour-long episode will be dedicated to the character, as she reaches breaking point in her career as a paramedic.

The second half of the episode will be told entirely from her point of view, as she witnesses a series of events that eat away at her, despite her calm exterior.

In one shift alone, we’ll see her witness a heartbreaking racist attack, deal with an injured elderly resident, and be forced to watch a tragic death.

It will all culminate in Asha having a panic attack, and struggling to breathe in the Rovers’ backyard.

The episode ties in with Aadi’s departure, as she realises that she won’t be able to rely on her twin for support in the same away again.

“I feel honoured to be trusted with a storyline of this scale and significance,” Asha actor Tanisha Gorey. “Stepping into the shoes of a trainee paramedic and exploring the highs, lows, and emotional challenges of their work has been both moving and eye-opening.

“It’s a role that carries a huge responsibility, and I hope we’ve done justice to the reality so many face. If this story reaches even one person, sparks a conversation, or offers a moment of understanding, then it’s served its purpose.”
