Carla Connor-Swain (Alison King) has no idea that Idris Nazir (Junade Khan) is on a mission to take over her business in Coronation Street<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last week, the two bickered on the cobbles when he parked his car closely to hers. It seemed like an innocent interaction, though later, he asked girlfriend Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) about Carla’s factory Underworld.<\/p>\n

The knicker manufacturers, which was established by the late Mike Baldwin<\/a> in 1997, has been owned by Carla across various stints for much of the last two decades.<\/p>\n

Leanne insisted that it was her baby and that she’d never part with it. But Idris couldn’t help but wonder whether he might be able to change that…<\/p>\n

In today’s episode, Idris overheard Carla telling wife Lisa Connor-Swain (Vicky Myers) that she had a crucial meeting at the Chariot Square Hotel and that she couldn’t risk it going wrong.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, she didn’t have anything to worry about. With manager Michael Bailey (Ryan Russell), the two sat down with the client, Philip, and things were going quite smoothly. It was clear that he was about to sign on the dotted line.<\/p>\n

However, Idris was waiting in the sidelines to swoop in and catch him as he headed to the toilet. He warned Philip that Carla wasn’t a trustworthy person, and that he’d regret going into business with her.<\/p>\n

When Philip returned to the table, he announced to Carla and Michael that he was going to have to think about their offer and come back to them with a decision later. The pair were puzzled by his sudden change of heart and wondered what intervention had occurred.<\/p>\n

Later, Carla broke the news to Michael that Philip had declined their deal and that Underworld’s future was now hanging in the balance.<\/p>\n

She then told Lisa that things weren’t looking great, and as she was comforted, Idris watched on from across the cobbles with a smug grin wiped across his face.<\/p>\n

Will Carla realise what Idris has done?<\/p>\n
