The story that opened the new week on Coronation Street shook the whole Weatherfield: Asha Alahan was found collapsed outside Victoria Gardens, still holding an empty bottle of wine.

The image sent chills down the audience – a once strong girl, now choosing to self-destruct.

When taken to the hospital, the doctor suspected that Asha had overdosed, and the test results only made things worse: there were signs of strong sedatives in her blood, possibly an act of self-harm.

Dev – the father who had just spent his wedding night with Bernie – immediately collapsed when he received the news that his daughter was in critical condition.

From a proud father, he became a confused man, constantly blaming himself for “should have realized sooner”. Meanwhile, Bernie covered his face and cried, unable to believe that Asha – the child who used to smile and always help others – was carrying such silent pain.

The whole neighborhood was also buzzing with gossip: was this a deliberate suicide or just an accident during a time of extreme boredom? Some people said that Asha had been acting strangely lately, quiet and hiding in her room. Dev began to remember: the nights when Asha locked her room door, the sad music whining and her eyes were empty. Now, as she lay motionless in the recovery room, he understood that she was calling for help but no one heard.

But the most painful thing is that Asha will survive, but the psychological trauma is difficult to heal. Doctors advised Dev to take her child for long-term psychological treatment. Many fans predicted that this shock could open a new story – where Asha faces herself and finds the meaning of life, but it could also cause the Alahan family to fall apart further, as each person blames each other.
Because sometimes, mental wounds… are more painful than death.
