It was announced some time ago that we'd see more members of Kal's muslim family. However, much as I like Jimi Mistry as an actor, I don't feel he's coming over that great in Coronation Street as Kal. Mind you, he's not been given much to do yet so maybe bringing in his daughter will stir things up a bit and give him more of a storyline.
Mr Curry Sauce tells The Mirror: “Alya is a good-looking girl who has just graduated from university and is back living with her family. She mixes brains and beauty so you can imagine there are going to be a few of the men of Weatherfield who will be interested in her. Alya is both intelligent and intriguing when she comes in.”
Alya's first scenes will be aired in June.
