It's only been a couple of weeks since she stepped in to save the lives of her neighbours when a bomb was planted in Speed Dahl's van, but now Alya Nazir has found her life at risk again as she was stabbed in shock scenes.
During Wednesday night's trip to Weatherfield, fans of the ITV soap watched as teenager Blake appeared intent on causing damage as he live-streamed his visit to Maria Connor's refugee drop in which was being held in Alya's restaurant which she runs with her gran, Yasmeen.
It comes after both Maria and Alya become the target of an extremist group led by eco-warrior Griff Reynolds and his racist gang who groomed troubled teen Max Turner. And upon seeing the videos Max helped create for the terrifying gang, Blake decided to pull his own horrifying stunt.
