    Alya Nazir and Gary Windass could find their secret romance rumbled on Coronation Street next week after their plan to spend time alone together backfires.

    Wanting to spend time with Gary (Mikey North), Alya (Sair Khan) asks Leanne if they can use her flat, but Leanne refuses to help and urges them to tell Kal the truth about their relationship.

    Later, when Alya is left to lock up at the factory following her first day, she invites Gary in, having ignored Leanne's advice to come clean with Kal.

    Sally gives Alya a tour of the factory and shows her the ropes.

    However, the pair are soon disturbed when they hear somebody enter the factory and it turns out to be Tracy.

    In a panic, Alya bundles Gary into the loading bay in order to hide him, but are they about to be caught out?

    Just because they are a modern muslim family does not necessarily mean that they don't hold certain traditional values ...

    The same values they hold Kal to? They let him be with who he wants, have a relationship outside of marriage and also with someone who is not a muslim. So what is the problem for Alya?
    . What rules are they applying here and what values are they upholding?

    Kal had problems to start with too but being an older male, I can see why he is allowed to get away with more than his young daughter would be .. Not knowing whether Kal had previous serious non-muslim partners it might take some time before a mixed relationship is easily accepted by the family...

    Well we know that in many traditional cultures (not just Asian) the females are hypocritically held to much higher standards than the males. You hear about women being stoned for being raped FFS!

    Anyway, back to Corrie...I agree with Perdita that just because the Nazirs are modern, doesn't mean that they don't still hold some of their traditional values dear. I expect it'll all turn out fine in the end though as the writers won't want regular characters to be seen as racist or sexist. As Swmc pointed out, they've accepted Leanne (with her, er, colourful history) so they can't be THAT strict.

    Agree this is about different rules and standards. I know so many young asian women that have been sent away to get married, been beaten up or disowned for having a boyfriend.
