Is Yasmeen leaving Coronation Street as she pleads guilty to attacking Geoff?
by Aidan MilanYasmeen Nazir (Shelley King) has been though a terrible ordeal at the hands of her abusive husband Geoff Metcalfe (Ian Bartholomew), and it isn’t over yet.
Yasmeen was pushed to the breaking point by her cruel husband’s vicious words and threats.
In harrowing scenes, as Geoff threatened her life – she eventually snapped and hit him over the head with a wine bottle before jabbing him in the neck with the pointy end.
Geoff survived, however, and how Yasmeen is facing criminal charges for the attack. Could she actually end up going to jail for fighting back?
Is Yasmeen leaving Corrie?
It’s not yet known for sure whether or not Yasmeen could end up leaving Coronation Street for good at the end of this storyline.
However the cracks have started to appear in Geoff’s false facade as a loving husband, which could be a sign that Yasmeen could finally be ready to accept that she was the victim of abuse.
Even though Yasmeen will insist that she’s going to plead guilty in court, she’ll also tell Alya that Geoff was seeing sex workers.
Tim will be shocked, Sally will be disgusted and Geoff will be unable to talk his way out of that transgression.
Indeed, Geoff’s exit has been confirmed, with actor Ian Bartholomew telling Metro.co.uk: ‘The timelines have been shunted due to the lockdown but I think it’s fair to imagine that it will be this year. What form that comeuppance is is in discussion. We wanted a redemptive ending for Yasmeen obviously and the toughest it’s going to get for her is over the next months.
‘It’s towards the end of the year but the key thing is to impart the right message. For the sake of the people it has impacted we have to tell the right ending with some positivity.’
Could this mean that Yasmeen will emerge victorious in the end?
Is there a chance she’ll still want to take her leave of the cobbles and all the horrible memories of what’s happened to her there? You’ll have to tune in to find out…
Coronation Street is next on tonight at 7:30pm on ITV.
