Coronation Street fans say character 'ruined' after dramatic scene

Coronation Street fans reported that they felt Yasmeen Nazir's character was 'ruined' after a dramatic episode. Yasmeen had been the victim of a long campaign of abuse from Geoff Metcalfe before he died while setting their house on fire two years ago.

She delivered a powerful speech about the effects of domestic violence but bad news caused her to experience a breakdown behind the scenes. It was revealed that her current partner, Stu had gone to prison for murder which caused memories of Geoff to come flooding back reported Liverpool Echo.

In the back of the Speed Daal, she broke down and started to have a panic attack. Roy Cropper found and tried to console her but Yasmeen quickly became hysterical.

The swift character development didn't go down well with fans as they accused the show of running her character within minutes.

One viewer said: "Sadly #corrie will not hit the mark with this story as reading the comments viewers are so hacked off with Yasmeen."

Another added: "They’ve ruined Yasmeen’s character."

A third viewer said: "Yasmeen's storyline is just jarring the way she turned on Stu and now the storyline is just not good surely they could have written a better script."

Roy continued to console Yasmeen but he couldn't break through to her.
