Yasmeen, interestingly, has all of the hallmarks of a classic Corrie woman. If anything, the loss of Sharif via the affair is precisely the strengthening moment that the character needs. While I loathe the constant cycle of affairs, this feels different and we're seeing some of the genuine anguish that this kind of thing causes to people across the country. It doesn't feel like the quick 'shock' that we're so used to now, especially with Corrie.
I hope that Yasmeen rises from this a much stronger character. I'd like to see her extend her influence around Weatherfield and become connected to more characters. She's actually a very refreshing character type. Educated and intelligent, with a big community focus yet fiery and headstrong at the same time. There are elements of Ena Sharples in there, along with bits of Elsie and Bet ...and even some Annie Walker ... yet Yasmeen is definitely her own character.
Great work Corrie.”

Great post. I LOVE Yasmeen and hope she stays around for a very long time.
Now Shariff and Kal are gone I think the family is strong. Yasmeen, Zee and Alya are all great characters and I hope to see them remain for a long time, with Rana and Zee happily married.
Obviously it will take time for Alya to be accepted by her family again, she may even go off the rails and become ruthless in the business with the basques. We shall see.
