Now, speaking exclusively to The Sun at this year’s British Soap Awards, Tanisha has admitted Aadi’s exit will be “emotional” and cause distress for his twin sister Asha.
Tanisha told The Sun: “I’ve been working with Adam now for five years and he is amazing. [check]
“I think he wants to go out and see the big wide world and he will do absolutely amazing.
“His exit is not too unusual but it is quite sad for Asha.
“She’s feeling very… I mean, she is losing her twin brother. I don’t want him to go.”
The Sun were the first to exclusively reveal that Adam had decided to walk away from the soap earlier this year amid a mass cast exodus at the soap.
A source said at the time: “He’s telling people he’s quit, not because he’s had enough of the show but his character hasn’t had any decent storylines for ages.
“He’s had loads of new opportunities coming his way so he already feels like he’s made the right decision.”
But although Aadi will be waving goodbye to Weatherfield, Asha is sticking around with Tanisha confirming to The Sun that viewers will get to see her journey as a paramedic grow in an upcoming storyline.
She also revealed that fans will get to see her connections within the NHS and how she leans on fellow staff members for support amid a tough time.
Tanisha said: “I have got a story coming up that is very big but also very sad and heart-wrenching and heartstopping.
“I think we’ll see how much they [Asha and her colleagues] have to support each other and how they make it work.
“They are with each other 12 hours a day – we do see a friendship there which is really nice and see how much they have to support each other to make it work.
“It will be nice to finally see a friendship there and see who is mentoring her and who she is learning from and we are going to get to see quite a bit of that which i’m really looking forward too.”
Corrie cash crisis: shock exits for 2025
ITV bosses are locked in a battle to save the cash-strapped soap.
This means that a number of stars have either been axed from or have abandoned the long-running serial drama.
Colson Smith – Craig Tinker
The character of Craig Tinker has been axed by bosses after 14 years. After he was told of the news in Autumn 2024, Colson Smith confirmed that would be written out of the show with scenes to air later this year. Craig’s on-screen mum, Beth Tinker, also left the show in the summer when actress Lisa George was written out from the role.
Sue Cleaver – Eileen Grimshaw
After 25 years playing Eileen Grimshaw, former I’m A Celebrity campmate Sue Cleaver will quit the show. The Sun on Sunday reported in January that she’s already begun to film her exit scenes. However the character will not be killed off in case Sue opts to make a return in the future.
Luca Toolan – Mason Radcliffe
Bosses decided to axe the teenage character after just 16 months after he first joined the show. Recent scenes saw Mason stabbed by his criminal brothers after his pal Dylan brought a knife in an attempt to defend him.
Sue Devaney – Debbie Webster
In November 2024, we revealed that Debbie Webster is set to be killed off after 40 years on the cobbles. The character will die as part of a heartbreaking long-running dementia storyline.
Charlotte Jordan – Daisy Midgeley
The actress became the fifth star to leave Coronation Street in just one month. We revealed that she will bow out of the ITV soap later this year after four years on-screen. Charlotte told sources that she’s hungry to see what other opportunities await.
Shelley King – Yasmeen Metcalfe
The actress has played Yasmeen Metcalfe on the cobbles for the past 11 years and we revealed in January that she finished filming her final scenes. This follows the departure of her on-screen partner Stu Carpenter.
