List of Coronation Street characters (2006)

The following is a list of minor characters that first appeared in the ITV soap opera Coronation Street in 2006, by order of first appearance.

Aadi Alahan

Aadi Alahan is one of the twins born to Sunita (Shobna Gulati) and Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin) on 13 January 2006. He leaves with his mother and sister Asha (Tanisha Gorey) soon after he is born. In December 2009, Aadi returns to the Street with Sunita and Asha.

Aadi moves into his father's flat in March 2010, after his parents reconcile. Aadi and Asha think that it would be funny if Aadi goes out onto the balcony of Flat 6, Victoria Court. Sunita tries to get him inside but the door jams. Dev tries and breaks the door handle. After many attempts to open the balcony door, they fail but Graeme Proctor (Craig Gazey) is riding by and rescues Aadi just as Sunita is going to call 999.

In August 2010, Aadi is pushed by Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) and bangs his head, as they play a game, while Sophie Webster (Brooke Vincent) is babysitting with Sian Powers (Sacha Parkinson). He is later rushed to hospital, when he loses consciousness as a result of the injury. When the doctors find another bruise on Aadi (as a result of Dev pulling him off the road when a car nearly ran him over some days before), social services are contacted. Immediately they suspect Dev and Sunita of child abuse and Aadi, along with Asha, is taken into temporary care. Dev and Sunita's names are later cleared of any wrongdoing when Simon admits that he hurt Aadi.
