Coronation Street fans felt sick as Alya Nazir and newcomer Daryan were subjected to racist abuse in Monday night's episode. Troubled teen Max Turner has been lured in by eco-warrior Griff as part of a harrowing new grooming storyline.
Viewers have been disturbed to see Max turn on his sweet new friend Daryan, who is from Iraq, and his boss Alya Nazir at Speed Daal restaurant after being influenced by love interest Lauren, who was introduced to him by Griff. In horrifying scenes Alya was confronted by racist Griff after she faced up to Max over his treatment of Daryan.
"I see you speak English so read my lips," snarled Griff. "What?" asked a stunned Alya as she struggled to take in what she had just heard.
