I thought it said his affair was in the past but watching tonight's episode it looks like it's still going on. Is this right?

I don't understand why everyone in soaps has to have affairs. Sharif and Yasmeen seemed one of the only couples that hadn't cheated.

He's like that footballer who had an affair for years and years with his brothers wife and another woman, his wife didn't even pick up on anything! Aw feel bit sorry for Yasmeen now, she doesn't deserve this! This is a bit silly storyline as once she finds out she can hardly forgive him for 7 years of a seedy affair. What's gonna happen to them? I'm guessing he will leave?

How old is he meant to be? 65 ish?
The actor is 55.
They have been married 45 years, so August 1971.

Yet their son who died in the fire, was born in 1970, ie. before they married.

Another Corrie mess up?

I didn't know the actor was just 55 but have always thought that he didn't look old enough to be the granddad of those two adults. Yasmeem doesn't look enough to be their granny either, even if she does look a bit older than the Sharif. You'd think they were the parents not grandparents if you didn't know otherwise.

The whole storyline would seem pretty implausible. How are they supposed to have conducted the affair? We haven't seen him doing anything remotely suspicious.

The storyline might just have been believable had there actually been some long-term planning. It just looks as if someone has looked at his part and thought how long has he been in the show and his biggest storyline has been a few chickens in the garden.

That's true. Sharif has been on the show for two and half years and there's never been any indication he's been having an affair. Reminds me of the time Max Farnham on Brookside was revealed to have been having an affair for 20 years behind the backs of both his wives Susannah and Patricia. He'd been on the show for almost a decade and this affair had never been referenced or even hinted at before. It was an awful storyline and ruined continuity.

It has come out of nowhere just like Tim's reading problems.

Such a random plot.

Tremendously unnecessary storyline. There's enough cheaters in soap. Please think of something else, writers.

Especially as we have just had two cheating storylines:
Steve and Leanne
Then Aidan and Maria

People did have kids before they were married, even in those dark ages.
The usual worn out storyline, is there anyone left in Corrie who hasn't cheated?

The whole idea is impausible beyond belief!!!!
It screams of desperation & a complete lack of imagination on the part of the storyline department!!
The Nazir family could have been great!! The idea behind them as a firmly religious muslim family whose beliefs shaped their life was interesting & quite new for a soap and for all that many, including myself have been slow to take to them, once the dreadfully inept Kal was out of the way they started to slowly become likeable!! Now the heart has been completely ripped out of them with this stupid development and they have become no different to any other family, there's no longer any substance to them!!
If nothing else the rock solid foundation of Sharif & Yasmeen's marriage was something to define them, now there's absolutely nothing , they are just four characters who, with the possible exception of Zeedan who at least has been true to his religion, no longer have any definition or purpose to the show imo!!

I've seen the actress who plays the bit on the side. Wasnt she in Easenders years back as Mena, Gita Kapour's sister? That character also was a bit on the side for Sanjay, if I remember rightly.

Bit on the the side seems a rather crude description. Maybe we should say she's a paramour and leave her with dignity so she can pork with pride.

Of course but the couple came in as people of faith, with strong family values, if she was pregnant out of wedlock, they would have married before the birth, in 1970.
Just another lack of attention to detail.
