Asha Alahan is desperate for her dad to be part of her "new life" on 'Coronation Street'.

Tanisha Gorey - who plays Asha in the ITV soap - acknowledges that her on-screen character finds herself in a really difficult position when she's caught between Corey and her dad Dev, played by Jimmi Harkishin.
Speaking about Asha's family dynamic, Tanisha explained: "Corey is trying to worm his way back into Asha’s affections by telling her that he has changed.
"Asha isn’t completely won over but it’s quite sad because I think her insecurity and desperation for love affect her decisions. When Dev first finds Corey in the house again he is outraged so the family dynamic is very tense from then on."
Corey has already made it clear that Dev is not welcome in their lives - and that puts Asha in a difficult position.
Tanisha admitted that her on-screen character is desperate to retain a good relationship with her dad.
Tanisha said: "Asha, Dev and Corey have been through so much already but Asha still needs her dad there.
"At first when she moves out, she thinks, ‘This is what I’ve wanted.’ But when Corey makes it clear that Dev is not welcome it is very undermining and Asha begins to feel like she may have rushed into things. All Asha has ever wanted is for her and her dad to get along but she is starting to see that Corey does not want that.
"Asha wants her dad to be a part of this new life she is building for herself and she feels like Corey is taking that away from her."
