Sorry but if he was my Grand-dad I'd feel a bit perplexed.

Talk about blood being thicker than water.

Because Gary is family and engaged to his sister?

Yeah I understand that. But still Zeedan should come before Gary.

Let Gary get his own job.

Presumably Kal left a will leaving his share to the old man - that's the only way I can think of that he could have given gary a quarter of the business.

So if Kal didn't leave his share to his kids, that's their problem.

On the other hand, why would Kal make a new will between getting the business and marrying leanne?

Alas, trying to work out the ownership of any Corrie business is the way to madness.

Zeedan already owns part of the gym doesnt he? Kal's share?

Wasn't it originally Dev, Kal and Sharif who opened it and now Zeedan has Kal's share and Sharif was giving his to Gary.

What I find hard to believe is a sort of well off family like the Nazirs, being so happy that their beautiful, educated grandaughter has settled for someone like Gary Windass , who's been in trouble with the police, already has a kid with someone and works part time in a greasy spoon , also his mother is a complete annoying thicko, yet they seem to be over the moon about it and are planning a lavish wedding , surely in real life people like them wouldn't be so happy about it?

I don't think it was half of the business I'm sure I heard them saying it was 10%

That's true.

He hasn't changed he's still the same thug. The way he got right into Ayla's face on Friday was overly aggressive.

I think in real life they would be horrified. Anna has been portrayed as almost entirely stupid lately which she wasn't before. Scratch the surface and Gary is still thuggish. The only possible prospects he has, they have had to give him. From their point of view, surely Gary is a disastrous choice.

Exactly, however the way the Nazirs were going on about the forthcoming wedding, you would think she was marrying Prince Harry

Yeah it wasn't half it was like 20 or 25% or something.

It was a bit weird doing it before they even got married but that idiot Aaliya took so long to say! If she had the balls to muster up the courage a few days earlier the signing of the contract needn't have happened!

I wonder if Garry will get his own back by playing a bit part in the business and screwing it up for them eventually??

I think its 25% of the business that the Nazirs own so that could be a lot less since Dev own half of it. So I'd say 12.5% but then who knows thinks always change.

I would have thought Alya would be a bit annoyed, why didn't she get it? was it meant to be a dowry?

Then again that gym is tiny and there are about ten members, 25% is probaby the treadmill machine. Gary should take it and flog it on ebay.

I think Kal and Dev owned half each but Shariff financed Kal's half, so perhaps it went to him when Kal died.

Very odd that Kal wouldn't leave his share of the business to Alya and Zeedan. You would normally leave your worldly goods to the coming generation not the previous one, especially as Sharif seems to be already very well off.

Yes indeed, not to mention Gary's history of depression and post traumatic stress disorder. They certainly wouldn't be enamoured with having the Windass family as in laws either.

Because the whoLe SL was a plot device to make the betrayal by his sister worse.

Made no sense to me either, grandad doesn't seem to like or trust Gary anyway given Gary history

A far more realistic storyline would be the Nazir family at war with Alya because she was marrying beneath her.

No businessman would sign over part of his business to his grand daughter's boyfriend. Perhaps when/if they married, he would give Alya a share.

I don't think he was thinking with his business head. Alya lost her father not too long ago and so I think Sharif is just trying to do what he could to give her a better life, like his son would have wanted. I'm guessing Gary has been a massive support to Alya, so trying to freeze him out would have done more harm than good. Also he was going to invest in underworld for her, so when it fell through I guess he felt he wanted to make another gesture. Yeah Gary doesn't have much going for him, that's another reason Sharif probably wanted to get him in a better position where he can make something of himself.

Didn't Gary say that it was a quarter?

If sharif financed kal's half, then I'd have thought that would be between him and kal's estate, nothing to do with the business. Though I'm willing to be corrected by someone who knows about these things.

I thought he said he was giving Gary half of his half of the gym. Id guess maybe his dad was kals next of kin so thats why he has it. Maybe he intends to give Zeedan the other quarter at a later point.

Very odd that Kal wouldn't leave his share of the business to Alya and Zeedan. You would normally leave your worldly goods to the coming generation not the previous one, especially as Sharif seems to be already very well off.
It's possible that he made a will before owing half the gym, in which he left what were then his main assets (whatever they might have been) to the children, with the residue to his father.

When he acquired half the gym, he probably considered changing his will, but realised it would be invalidated when he married leanne. So he decided to leave it till after the wedding.

So at his untimely death, the share of the gym formed part of the residue.

Why do I have to do the scriptwriters' work for them, just to make the plot make sense?
