Coronation Street fans revealed they were left emotional by Monday’s (September 6) episode, which saw Asha Alahan (played by Tanisha Gorey) reach the breaking point and finally open up about her mental health issues after a failed suicide attempt. The paramedic was rushed to the hospital after she was found unconscious on a park bench after consuming a poisonous cocktail, which she had downed with alcohol. While her father Dev (Jimmi Harkishin) insists the incident was a mistake, Asha finally opened up to her dad and revealed that the pressures of her job had been weighing heavily on her mind.
She confirmed that she tried to take her own life after also dealing with racism in the workplace. Many viewers flocked to social media to share their thoughts about the moving episode as one reflected: “Asha’s storyline in #Corrie is close to home. That was me 28 years ago.” A second added: “Asha opening up is a big thing. It’s one of the first steps to getting the support she so needs. Hopefully, this gets people speaking up about mental health.”
“Stepping into the shoes of a trainee paramedic and exploring the highs, lows, and emotional challenges of their work has been both moving and eye-opening.
“It’s a role that carries a huge responsibility, and I hope we’ve done justice to the reality so many face. If this story reaches even one person, sparks a conversation, or offers a moment of understanding, then it’s served its purpose.”
