Coronation Street newcomer Idris Nazir has quickly become a notable character on the cobbles, but fans have recently discovered that actor Junade Khan has appeared in the soap before.

Idris arrived in Weatherfield as Alya Nazir’s cousin and initially made an impression after helping deal with a difficult situation at Speed Daal.

Since then, the character has shown different sides of his personality, becoming involved in storylines that have affected several residents.

Fans Spot Junade Khan’s Earlier Role

Viewers watching classic episodes of Coronation Street noticed that Junade Khan had previously appeared on the show nearly two decades ago.

In episodes from 2008, Khan played Saj, a character who was briefly involved in Rosie Webster’s storyline.

Fans shared their discovery online after recognizing the actor from his earlier appearance.

Some viewers commented that they remembered seeing Khan in the classic episodes and were surprised to discover that he had returned to the soap years later in a completely different role.

Idris Nazir’s Current Storyline

While Saj’s appearance was short-lived, Idris Nazir appears to have a longer future in Weatherfield.

The character recently became involved in a property storyline after purchasing a flat in the area.

However, problems with the condition of the property created conflict with Abi Webster, whose son Alfie was affected by issues at the flat.

Abi was unhappy after discovering Idris was responsible for the property and decided to take action over the situation.

A New Conflict Develops

Although Idris has promised to address the problems with the flat, the situation has created tension between him and Abi.

The storyline becomes more complicated when Idris discovers that Adam Barlow, who is connected to Alya Nazir, is involved in the legal matter.

This creates a new challenge for Idris as personal and professional relationships begin to overlap.

What’s Next for Idris?

As Idris continues adjusting to life in Weatherfield, viewers will discover how he handles the growing conflict surrounding his property and relationships.

His return to the soap has introduced a character with both personal connections and new challenges, giving Coronation Street another storyline to explore.

Coronation Street airs on ITV, with episodes also available through ITVX.
