Sparks fly when a new girl arrives on Coronation Street this week.
Bhavna Limbachia walks onto the Corrie cobbles as Rana, an old uni friend of Alya Nazir played by Sair Khan.
And it’s soon clear that Alya’s brother Zeedan fancies her.
Fiery Rana appears on our screens for the first time on Friday - and it’s not long before Rana has got herself a job at the medical centre.
While many of the street’s residents have got their eyes on Rana it seems she’s got her sights firmly set on Zeedan.
Rana is played by Citizen Khan actress Bhavna, who has also starred in the BBC One police drama Cuffs.
Talking about her new role Bhavna said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining the show. Being a proud Northerner - it’s a dream come true!”
Producer Stuart Blackburn said: “Rana is sharp, funny, utterly gorgeous and not a little manipulative. She’s a girl who likes to get her own way and when she sets her sights on something, or someone ...well, Zeedan better have his wits about him!”
Next month actor and legendary children’s TV presenter Derek Griffiths is to join the cast as retired mechanic Freddie, a pensioner who strikes up an unlikely friendship with Kylie Platt, played by Paula Lane, following the death of his wife.
