List of Coronation Street characters introduced in 2006
The following is a list of characters that first appeared in the ITV soap opera Coronation Street in 2006, by order of first appearance.
Aadi Alahan, who first appears on 13 January 2006, is introduced alongside his twin sister Asha Alahan (Tanisha Gorey) as the newborn children of Sunita Alahan (Shobna Gulati) and Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin). Aadi and Asha are originally portrayed by triplets Hannah, Harris and Ria Ahmed. The characters were written out following Gulati's decision to leave the soap and depart in February 2006. The character, along with Sunita and Asha, was reintroduced in 2009 with the role recast to Zennon Ditchett. Ditchett opted to leave the show in 2019 to focus on his schooling, so the role was recast to Adam Hussain, who first appears on 15 April 2020. Aadi features in a new story following his recast as Asha becomes the victim to a sexting scandal. Hussain expressed his excitement at joining the soap and wanted to develop his "own twist" on the character. Hussain and Gorey were friends prior to his casting, which he thought assisted the portrayal of the twins' relationship. Gary Gillatt of Inside Soap praised Hussain's casting, commenting, "The new Aadi Alahan is really well cast. He has the same cocky swagger as his dad."
Aadi was born in January 2006, just before Asha. In March 2006, Sunita still had not got back together with Dev and decided to leave Weatherfield with Aadi and Asha. In late 2009, Aadi and Asha returned when Sunita resumed her relationship with Dev. They moved into Dev's flat in March 2010, after Dev and Sunita reconciled. Aadi and Asha thought it was funny if Aadi went out onto the balcony of the flat, however, when Sunita tried to get him in she couldn't and Dev broke the handle when he tried to open the closed balcony door. After many attempts they failed, though Graeme Proctor (Craig Gazey) was riding by and came to the rescue just as Sunita was going to call 999. In April 2013, Aadi and Asha lost their mother when Sunita died from her injuries following a fire in The Rovers - the fire being started by her ex-boyfriend Karl Munro (John Michie), who also turned off her life support machine at hospital. Following a video of Asha undressing for her crush, Corey Brent (Maximus Evans), being spread around the pupils of Weatherfield High by Kelly Neelan (Millie Gibson), Dev was dissatisfied by the headteacher's response, and enrolled Aadi and Asha into Oakhill School.
Asha Alahan played by triplets Hannah, Harris and Ria Ahmed in 2006 and Tanisha Gorey since 2009, is one of the twins born to Sunita (Shobna Gulati) and Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin), alongside her twin brother Aadi Alahan (Zennon Ditchett / Adam Hussain) in January 2006.
Before the birth, Sunita had learnt that Dev had fathered children by several different women. Devastated, she left Dev after deciding she could no longer trust him and had even considered having a termination rather than be a single mother.
Dev had hoped for a reunion once the twins were born but after initially allowing him in the delivery room, Sunita barred him from all contact and only accepted help from him when he was too exhausted to refuse. Seeing how well Dev coped, Sunita briefly flirted with the idea of a reunion but was furious when she discovered Dev had registered the births behind her back and realising she still couldn't trust him, took Aadi and Asha and moved back in with her family.
Sunita subsequently divorced Dev, but they kept in regular contact. By December 2009 she was engaged to another man named Matt and living with him in the house she'd bought with Dev prior to their separation. Matt had taken on the responsibility of Aadi and Asha and they quickly became comfortable with him as a father figure.
After Dev discovered Sunita's engagement, he began making visits to her house and trying to spend more time with Aadi and Asha, not wanting them to forget him. In January 2010, Asha fell ill and Sunita feared that she had meningitis after discovering she had spots and high temperature. Dev rushed to her side and although the doctor from the medical centre confirmed it was just a virus, the incident brought them closer together. Shortly afterwards, Sunita ended her engagement to Matt and resumed her relationship with Dev and by March 2010, they were living together with Aadi and Asha at Dev's flat. Another move soon followed to where the Alahans made their family home.
