Aidan Connor’s loved ones were left reeling when his will revealed a big surprise in the latest episode of Coronation Street.
The Connors are grieving after Aidan (Shayne Ward) took his own life.
Monday night’s double bill of the ITV soap saw the family sort through his things, as they struggle in the aftermath of his death.
Michelle (Kym Marsh) discovered the will, which said Aidan was leaving the factory to Alya Nazir (Sair Khan), rather than his sister Carla (Alison King).
Aidan’s decision ruffled feathers on Twitter, with many fans questioning whether Alya was the right woman for the job.
“#Corrie And this stupid idiot is about to find out she’s been left a business in a will! She couldn’t run a marathon! Let alone a factory!” said one viewer.

“Looks like Alya has the factory? Dreading seeing her smug attitude,” said another.

There was another shock when the family found a letter from Aidan saying “I’m sorry”, and realised he had been planning to kill himself earlier than they had thought.
