Yasmeen Nazir (Shelley King) has been left a broken woman following the abuse from evil husband Geoff Metcalfe in Coronation Street.
However, since that nightmare-ish ordeal, she has begun to start piecing together her sense of self confidence and her former spark.
The demonic behaviour of Geoff will never leave Yasmeen but there are more regular times when she can regain normality.
However, when romance in the form of Stu comes knocking, the fear of trusting another man could completely destroy Yasmeen’s future in love – and understandably so.
Speaking about the emotions the character goes through, boss Iain MacLeod told Metro.co.uk: ‘We like the re-exploring of Yasmeen’s psyche after Geoff – it would be easy to move on and forget it happened. In reality, it’s such a colossal psychological bomb with lifelong after effects.
‘It’s not a case of retreading old ground. With Stu, can she trust again – her approach to friendships is damaged but is it irrevocable? She lacks self esteem – this man really likes her, can she embrace a happy future of is she irretrievably damaged and it costs her a happy ending?
‘It’s a fresh way of exploring Geoff without re-treading. Stu is Corrie’s core, character full of funny and a bit like what Peter Barlow might be in his 60s.
‘He likes a bit of trouble, he is rough around the edges, and a firecracker for Yasmeen which causes challenges.
‘Some of behaviour is high jinks, it will subtly reflect some things Geoff did – to what degree is he like him is what Yasmeen questions are fears?
‘It’s a complicated and unique love story. I will remain tight lipped about how it ends.’
Can Yasmeen battle her demons and give romance a chance?
