Geoff Metcalfe (Ian Bartholomew) has made Yasmeen Nazir’s (Shelley King) life a living hell in Coronation Street over the last couple of months, but his attention has been diverted to Alya (Sair Khan) in recent episodes, as he attempts to make her look bad, and while bad-mouthing the young woman to his wife during tonight’s episode, he grew rather vicious as he told her to shut up.
Geoff managed to convince Yasmeen he meant no harm after killing her pet chicken Charlotte and making her eat it, but his questionable behaviour was on display once more during tonight’s episode, as he began to manipulate the situation with Alya to his own advantage.
The young woman was horrified to discover that another bad review for Speed Daal had popped up online, and she brought it to Geoff’s attention. After giving it some thought, she came to believe that Ray (Mark Frost) was behind it.
Geoff warned her off confronting the businessman — claiming that she would only make such a situation worse — but he later returned home and informed Yasmeen about the negative reviews, suggesting that Alya is pinning the blame on Ray is simply a cover story to hide her own incompetence.
Yasmeen attempted to defend her granddaughter, and Geoff wasn’t too pleased as a result and, before she could get a chance to finish her sentence, he ordered her to shut up.
Later, Yasmeen stared out the window — lost in thought.
Will she come to realise that Geoff is simply trying to turn her against Alya?
What’s more, will Alya realise what Geoff is up to?
Coronation Street continues Friday 6 March at 7:30pm on ITV.
