Friday night’s episode of Coronation Street was filled with drama as Bernie Winter sought vengeance on the villainous Naomi.
Fans will remember that recently, paramedic Asha Alahan featured in a special episode that shadowed her during a shift
In that episode, Asha was subjected to appalling racist abuse by a woman named Naomi. Earlier this week, viewers saw Asha, still shaken from the traumatic incident, agree to assist Ryan Connor at a careers fair held at a hotel.
Unbeknownst to Asha, the guest speaker for the event was none other than her abuser, Naomi. Upon realising this, Asha was visibly distressed.
Despite her fear, Asha bravely confronted Naomi, reminding her of the time she tried to help her when she was intoxicated, only to be met with abuse and disrespect, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Naomi, however, denied any recollection of the incident and warned Asha against making baseless accusations. Following the confrontation, a tearful Asha confided in her stepmother Bernie about her encounter with Naomi and her feigned ignorance.

After reporting the incident to the police, Bernie shared with her husband and Asha’s father, Dev Alahan, that according to her police officer son Kit Green, it would be challenging to press charges against Naomi based solely on Asha’s account.
Later, at the careers fair, an enraged Bernie found Naomi’s laptop. As Naomi began her presentation, she was horrified to see the first slide exposing her true character.
Bernie, filled with pride, stood up and revealed to the stunned audience how Naomi had mistreated Asha, a paramedic and woman of colour.
Meanwhile, Nina Lucas and Amy Barlow were capturing the unfolding drama on their phones, while Ryan put an abrupt stop to the event.
After viewing the video, Asha confronted her stepmother Bernie for meddling. In the meantime, Naomi stormed into their home, announcing that she’s suing Bernie for defamation and promising to see her in court.

The family found themselves needing legal counsel, while Asha faced off with Naomi who issued a threat: drop the police report and she’d abandon the lawsuit.
Soap fans might recognise Naomi actress, Melissa Batchelor, from her various roles in numerous television shows and competing soaps over the years.
