Coronation Street‘s Adam Barlow will face a huge dilemma next week, when Alya Nazir suggests her cousin Idris Nazir as a new client. With his law firm still struggling, Adam desperately needs to generate some business, but is it worth the risk?
Newcomer Idris makes his Weatherfield arrival tonight, instantly charming the locals – including Leanne Battersby – by handling some rowdy customers in Speed Daal.

But while Alya is delighted to see her cousin and grateful for his help, her boyfriend and colleague Adam remains sceptical about Idris’ hero act.
Later, viewers see Idris roughing up a shady character, from whom he demands cash, which proves Adam was right to be doubtful. However, with a lack of new cases on the horizon, could the lawyer be forced to do business with the mysterious arrival?
In scenes that will air on Tuesday 2 June, Adam reluctantly agrees to look over Idris’ files, after Alya insists he takes him on as a client. Though Adam’s doubts are still present, he considers representing the newcomer as his lawyer.
But with Idris potentially up to some dodgy dealings, could he live to regret it?
“It’s fair to say that Idris doesn’t make the best first impression on Adam,” explains our Corrie source. “They both have one thing in common – having Alya’s best interests at heart – but that doesn’t mean they get along!

“Adam needs all the business he can get at the law firm after recent setbacks, so taking on Idris seems to be a no-brainer. But will he swallow his pride and make the deal?”
Speaking to Digital Spy at a recent Corrie press event, producer Kate Brooks described the newcomer as “very charming”, with a hidden “ruthless streak”.
She teased some clashes ahead for Idris, saying that he “ruffles a lot of feathers” as he’s “certainly no pushover”.
“He butts heads with some of our more alpha characters quite early on. We’re really excited about Idris – he’s brilliant,” Brooks added.
Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
