THE relationship between Yasmeen Nazir and Geoff Metcalfe takes another sinister turn in Coronation Street next week as he schemes to keep her away from her own family.
As the week kicks off, Yasmeen – who’s played by Shelley King in the ITV soap – is shaken when she discovers her jewellery and photos are missing and Geoff – Ian Bartholomhew – is quick to point the finger at Alya and Ryan Connor’s DJ mates.
But when Alya and Ryan return from a fruitless search to find the men, they spot Geoff and are shocked when Yasmeen’s bracelet falls out of his pocket.
They confront him and make him turn out his pockets, but Geoff produces a receipt and proves he bought it for Yasmeen to replace the one that was stolen.
An angry Geoff then tells Yasmeen that if he’s not trusted, he’ll move out.
Later Geoff takes control of Yasmeen’s finances when he ‘accidentally’ gets the insurer to make the payout to his bank account. He’s pleased to have taken control.
He then lovebombs Yasmeen with a champagne breakfast and a huge picture of dead son Kal to replace the one lost in the burglary.
Geoff’s actions get even more sinister later in the week when a man called Ray arrives at Speed Dahl and introduces himself to Yasmeen and Alya.
He tells them he’s called Ray and is organising a charity fundraiser for one of his hotels.
The women are delighted when Ray tells them he’d like them to do them catering for it.
But when Geoff suggests Yasmeen is too old to be taking on any extra work, she’s left crestfallen.
With Geoff’s words ringing in her ears, Yasmeen tells Alya to go ahead and take up Ray’s offer, but to count her out.
How much further will Geoff’s manipulation go before someone realises what’s going on?
It was revealed this week that Corrie bosses have been working with domestic abuse experts to help them portray the horror of non-physical abuse.
