Coronation Street star Adam Hussain has spoken about his big new storyline for the first time.

The actor's character Aadi Alahan will start an affair with new character Courtney Vance this summer.

Show bosses have cast former Hollyoaks star Stephanie Davis in the role of Courtney, who'll make her first appearance on the cobbles in July.

Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy on the red carpet at the British Soap Awards 2023, Adam explained: "I've got this storyline coming up involving Stephanie Davis. She's a phenomenal actress.

"It does get a bit raunchy at some parts, so viewer discretion is advised!"

He continued: "This is a side to Aadi that he's now beginning to explore.

"It's exciting to see how he behaves in this circumstance, especially with this cougar and sugar mummy ? and how he's being treated!"

Courtney is the glamourous wife of Dev Alahan's business associate Darren, played by The Archers actor Ryan Early.

While Dev and Darren are busy talking business, Courtney decides that she'd like a toyboy lover and sets her sights on Aadi, who turned 18 at the start of this year.

Aadi soon finds himself caught up in a web of deceit, as Courtney comes up with reasons for them to meet up behind Dev and Darren's backs.

Asked whether Aadi has genuine feelings for Courtney or whether it's just a fling, Adam replied: "I think there are genuine feelings, but obviously, she is an older woman, so it's going to be interesting to see how that dynamic plays out."

Stephanie previously played Sinead O'Connor on Hollyoaks between 2010 and 2015 and returned for a second stint between 2018 and 2019.

In a statement last month, she said: "I am absolutely delighted to be joining the cast of Coronation Street, playing the part of Courtney Vance. Growing up I have always watched and loved the show, so to be part of the biggest TV soap in Britain, which is in the hearts and homes of so many people, is an honour."

Coronation Street has confirmed that Courtney Vance will be back on screen next week, as she returns to continue her dalliance with Aadi Alahan.

Courtney hasn't been seen on the cobbles for a few weeks after she headed on a cruise with her husband, Darren, but the soap has revealed that she'll return in scenes airing next week.

After coming back into town, Courtney suggests to Aadi that they meet up for an afternoon tryst.

Conflicted Aadi feels torn and explains to Courtney that he has a meeting booked with his dad, Dev Alahan, and Darren.

Aadi attends the meeting, but when Darren starts quizzing him about his love life, guilty Aadi wishes that the ground would swallow him up.

Is his secret affair starting to become too difficult for Aadi to handle, particularly as Amy Barlow has already discovered the truth?

Actress Stephanie Davis, who joined the soap as Courtney this summer after previously starring in Hollyoaks, assured fans last week that she would be back on screen soon, writing on her Instagram Stories: "There is so much coming up for Courtney! All September and October, so brace yourself and get ready.

"We have worked extremely hard on this and we know you will all enjoy it! So stay tuned!"

Stephanie has previously teased that Courtney and Aadi's affair could start to become more meaningful for her character, saying that "at first it's a bit of fun for Courtney but then she starts to see this other side to Aadi".

"Aadi also definitely starts to see this other side to Courtney and then it gets a bit more serious," she continued, explaining that her character's marriage to Darren isn't a happy one.

Actor Adam Hussain, who plays Aadi, has also told Digital Spy and other press that Aadi could be in serious trouble if the truth about his and Courtney's affair gets out.

"I think Aadi is certainly aware of the consequences of the affair. He tries his best to resist the temptations of Courtney's advances, but he always falls short," he explained.

"Aadi falling for Courtney is not good, because if the fling is exposed, Dev could be financially ruined and Aadi's career prospects could be tarnished as well."
