It's All About Asha

Steve and Mary hit on a plan to make Aadi stay in Weatherfield by getting him and Amy back together.

In the Rovers’ backyard, Asha remains in the throes of a panic attack and relives all the stress and horror of her last ambulance shift.

Aadi finds Asha sitting on the bench in the backyard and senses that she’s not herself but when Asha starts to open up about her awful day, Dev arrives and she clams up. As Asha heads back into the pub, Aadi’s left concerned and offers to stay if she wants but she brushes her problems off as tiredness.
Asha records a voice note for Aadi telling him how much she’s going to miss him, how she doesn’t think she’ll cope and begging him not to go. As her finger hovers over ‘send’, she breaks down in tears. Will she send it?
