Tonight, Zeedan Nazir (Qasim Akhtar) will return to Coronation Street.
Zeedan returns to Weatherfield in 2018 to surprise Yasmeen (Shelley King) for her birthday, but he finds up assisting sister Alya (Sair Khan) with her own problems as well.
Since it’s been a while, here’s a refresher on who Zeedan Nazir is and what he was up to the last time he was on the cobbles.
What is Zeedan Nazir’s background?
Zeedan is Alya’s brother and Yasmeen’s grandchild.
In 2015, Zeedan and Alya’s father, Kal, perished in the Victoria Court fires.
What was Zeedan’s reason for leaving?
Following the revelation of Rana’s (Bhavna Limbachia) romance with Kate Connor, Zeedan agreed to participate in a scheme to pretend he was still in love with Rana in order to get funding to establish a restaurant.
After the encounter, Zeedan packed his belongings and departed Weatherfield in May.
What has Zeedan’s storey been up to this point?
Where do I begin? If we provided you a comprehensive report, we’d be here all day, but here’s a quick rundown:
Zeedan didn’t like his father’s connection with Leanne (Jane Danson) at first, but after settling down in Weatherfield, he warmed up to her.
Zeedan, on the other hand, blamed Leanne for his father’s death in the aftermath of the flat fires.
Gary Windass was also a problem for Zeedan (Mikey North).
Zeedan disapproved of Gary’s connection with Alya after becoming friends with him.
Following the affair revelation, Zeedan’s leave, and Rana’s death, Alya informed Rana’s mother that Zeedan would be unable to attend Rana’s burial.
What is the plot of Zeedan’s return?
We know Zeedan will return to Weatherfield to surprise Yasmeen and assist Alya, but we don’t know much else about Zeedan’s life outside of Weatherfield.
He’ll undoubtedly be concealing a few secrets, but how deep is this familiar figure in trouble?
Is he endangering Yasmeen and Alya’s life by returning to the cobblestones?
