On “Coronation Street,” the role of Aadi Alahan has been recast following the departure of the actor who used to play the part, Zennon Ditchett. The latter played the character since 2009. He decided to leave the show so he can focus on his A-Level Studies.
Asha Alahan’s (Tanisha Gorey) twin brother, Aadi, will be taken over by Manchester actor Adam Hussain. The young actor is set to make his first appearance on Wednesday, April 15. The move to recast the role comes as Aadi takes on a crucial role in his twin sister’s new storyline, which will kick off later this month.

When asked about his new role, the actor said, “I am excited to play the role of Aadi, putting my own twist on him as the character becomes involved in an important new storyline. I was already good friends with Tanisha Gorey, before coming to the street, which helps hugely with portraying the bond of brother and sister.”
The actor shared that everyone on the show has been so welcoming and they treated him like he’s part of their family. He added that he’s always associated the soap with family and togetherness, which he believes is crucial during this time.
