Courtney Vance (Stephanie Davis) and Aadi Alahan (Adam Hussain) are in trouble in upcoming Coronation Street episodes as Courtney\u2019s husband Darren (Ryan Early) discovers their affair.<\/p>\n
Darren has been spending a lot of time with Dev (Jimmi Harkishin) lately, which has given Courtney and Aadi plenty of opportunities to sleep together.<\/p>\n
What started off as a little bit of fun has now turned into something more, as Aadi will refer to his new girlfriend as beautiful, intelligent and funny during a lunch soon, with Darren and Dev completely unaware that the 18-year-old is speaking about Courtney.<\/p>\n
Prior to this, Darren is already on edge after opening up to Dev about his marriage problems and the fact that he thinks Courtney is having an affair.<\/p>\n
Suffice to say that Aadi is the last person Darren suspects is sleeping with his wife so when the truth is revealed during the lunch at the Bistro, he is horrified:<\/p>\n

\u2018When it all comes out in the bistro it plays out like a thriller. She confesses and gives him the hint that it\u2019s somebody close to him, then the whole thing starts to unravel\u2019, Ryan Early, who plays Darren, explained.<\/p>\n
\u2018He starts going mad with paranoia, he feels like everyone around him is a suspect and of course the first person he suspects is Dev. Considering that he brought him onto this deal, he\u2019s trying to make him a lot of money and they\u2019ve become good friends feels like a total betrayal. He feels like he could absolutely kill him. But then when he finds out it\u2019s Aadi, this boy, it\u2019s humiliating.<\/p>\n
\u2018Darren\u2019s in his 40s and suddenly she\u2019s with an 18 year old. I mean what can he give her that Darren\u2019s not? It\u2019s deeply humiliating, but then suddenly he thinks hang on, this is a game, this isn\u2019t real, because he\u2019s got no money, he\u2019s got nothing to offer her and he knows Courtney, he knows what she likes.\u2019<\/p>\n

He added: \u2018She likes a beautiful house, she likes holidays around the world, they\u2019ve just got back from a cruise around the Caribbean so to suddenly switch to being with this 18 year old little shrimp, no way, this is part of the game. And that\u2019s why he doesn\u2019t try and kill him because this is Courtney. It\u2019s deeply humiliating and there\u2019s maybe no coming back from this because essentially it\u2019s the most toxic thing she can do in a relationship that already has a lot of toxicity.<\/p>\n
\u2018But she\u2019s pushed it now to a level that I\u2019m not sure they can come back from, an 18 year old kid, she\u2019s absolutely crossed the line. Infidelity is one thing, they both come from infidelity so it\u2019s not necessarily the be all and end all, but the humiliation of an affair with this young kid, who he\u2019s been paying, really is a stab in the heart. It\u2019s total humiliation, it\u2019s embarrassing as well as being heartbreaking.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While Ryan admits that his character is utterly flabbergasted over Aadi being the person Courtney has been sleeping with, he makes clear that if Darren was to get revenge, he\u2019d probably go down a different route as opposed to reacting with violence:<\/p>\n
\u2018I think there\u2019s always a chance that Aadi could be in trouble. I don\u2019t think Darren is violent but there are other ways to get revenge on someone. He can certainly make sure that Aadi never earns a penny in business in the north of England, he can make things very, very hard for him\u2019, he said.<\/p>\n
\u2018And if Aadi is someone who\u2019s ambitious and wants to make his way in the world then Darren could be a huge problem. Very early on in his career he\u2019s made a huge mistake by crossing someone who\u2019s in the peak of his career. In a business sense he could make things incredibly hard for Aadi but at the same time Darren sort of gets it, at 18 he was probably doing exactly the same thing.<\/p>\n
\u2018Darren\u2019s not a psychopath but he\u2019s somebody who at the moment is very wounded. He feels like he\u2019s lost the love of his life when he had a second shot and he\u2019s not sure he can see a way back from it. So at the moment it\u2019s just very, very painful and being in pain can make someone get carried away.\u2019<\/p>\n
Reflecting on what this means for Darren and Courtney\u2019s relationship, Ryan said: <\/p>\n
\u2018He\u2019s not going to go running to her begging for forgiveness, begging her to come back, he\u2019s going to try to match her in the humiliation stakes. He\u2019s going to make her pay emotionally and also point out to her exactly what she\u2019s losing and remind her that her life is going to be a hell of a lot less comfortable without him, without the attention and without the credit card.<\/p>\n
\u2018He\u2019s going to make this a hell of a lot worse before it can even start to get better.\u2019<\/p>\n
