Aadi Alahan has taken revenge against Aaron Sandford in Coronation Street.
Monday's (April 24) episode saw Aaron continue to face the consequences of actions as part of the sexual assault storyline with Amy Barlow.
This came about after Aaron offered Asha the chance to use the builder's flat for Nina's surprise party when her previous venue fell through.

While Amy gave Asha permission to invite Aaron to the party, Amy was boiling with anger as she watched him flirting with a group of girls.
The situation came to a head when Aaron approached Amy and put his hand on her shoulder, inadvertently triggering memories of the assault he'd committed on her.
Amy reacted out of pure rage to the gesture, hitting her ex-boyfriend numerous times until Summer managed to pull her away.
In tears, Amy confided in both Summer and Aadi about how she'd hoped to compartmentalise being raped by Aaron but the trauma had become too painful to ignore.

Later, Aadi was left alone with Aaron to tidy up once all of the party guests had cleared out. Aadi revealed he knew what Aaron had done to Amy, shocking his friend.
Aaron scrambled to argue that his sex was consensual with Amy, and while Aadi seemed to let it go, his true convictions later shone through.
After Aaron had drunk the remaining liquor and passed out, a vengeful Aadi grabbed a marker pen and wrote 'guilty' on Aaron's forehead before walking out.
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
