CORONATION Street’s Asha Alahan will be at the centre of a horrifying revenge porn plot when naked pictures of her are leaked online.
Upcoming scenes show the soap‘s teen and best friend Amy at a house party, where she reveals she sent Corey a racy video of herself in an attempt to impress him.
The house party gets swamped by gatecrashers and Amy angrily decides to confront new girl Kelly.
In an act of revenge, Kelly then sends pictures of Asha’s video around the group chat.
When Asha returns home, she is horrified to discover the intimate photos have been shared.
Tanisha Gorey, who plays Asha, told The Mirror of the plot: “It completely crumbles her, destroys her reputation, everything, people in the Street have seen her strip.
“Everyone has seen it and is talking about it. She is bullied at school, ends up moving school. Walking down to Roy’s Rolls, everyone is talking about Asha.
“At a school litter pick they are watching the video and they see me with my clothes off. So it is very personal. It is a bit like trolling they are participating in this act.”
Tanisha hints at wider repercussions when Asha’s father, Dev, played by Jimmi Harkishin, finds out.
Although the local shopkeeper “has the best intentions” as her father, Tanisha admitted he is “mortified”and begins “screaming” until he realises how the scandal is affecting her.
She continued: “Then he starts to understand and then comes over to my side and into protection mode.”
News of the upcoming plot comes as ITV has suspended filming of Coronation Street and Emmerdale amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Despite efforts to remain onscreen until the summer, channel bosses took the decision to pull production.
Although filming has halted due to coronavirus, fans can still watch a reduced number of episodes until filming resumes.
