Asha Alahan<\/a> (Tanisha Gorey<\/a>) has been struggling since she had the shift from hell on Coronation Street<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n During a special episode that focused on a day in the young paramedic\u2019s working life, we saw Asha being subjected to horrific racial abuse and violence<\/a> from a woman she was trying to help.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u2018I think she just feels like the job might not be right for her then she faces a racist attack and everything feels like it\u2019s coming crashing down<\/a>,\u2019 Tanisha Gorey told us.\u00a0<\/p>\n Since the incident, Asha\u2019s mental health has suffered with the character enduring panic attacks. She\u2019s becoming increasingly withdrawn, and in episodes to be aired soon this is noticed by Bernie<\/a> (Jane Hazlegrove<\/a>) who questions Dev (Jimmi Harkishin) about his daughter\u2019s health.\u00a0<\/p>\n Dev says that Asha has been spending more and more time in her room. Bernie\u2019s plan to solve this is to get Asha involved in something outside the house and she convinces her to help Ryan (Ryan Prescott) with a careers fair at the hotel.\u00a0<\/p>\n To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web \t\t By terrible coincidence, the guest speaker at the careers fair happens to be Naomi, the woman who abused Asha.\u00a0<\/p>\n Bravely, Asha confronts the woman, reminding her that she tried to help her when she was drunk but all she got in return was Naomi abusing her, spitting at her and throwing a bottle. Naomi denies all of this and warns Asha that she needs to be careful about making allegations against her.\u00a0<\/p>\n Shaken, Asha returns home in tears and tells Bernie what happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n Bernie is not a person to let someone get away with being abusive to a member of her family, and she grimly heads out. Normally she would go in all guns blazing, but she takes some advice from Kit (Jacob Roberts) \u2013 so handy to have a police officer for a son<\/a> \u2013 who says it\u2019s only Asha\u2019s word against Naomi\u2019s so it would be difficult to bring charges.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t At the careers fair, Bernie gets her hands on Naomi\u2019s laptop, having thought of a cunning plan. As Naomi takes the stage to give her presentation she clicks on the first slide and can\u2019t believe what she\u2019s seeing, while the audience is in uproar.\u00a0<\/p>\n Standing up, Bernie explains that Naomi abused a paramedic and a woman of colour who was only going about her job and trying to help.\u00a0<\/p>\n The careers fair is in disarray and Naomi is fuming. Ryan closes own the event, but not before Nina (Mollie Gallagher) and Amy (Elle Mulvaney) have managed to capture video of most of the action on their phones.\u00a0<\/p>\n Asha is mortified by Bernie\u2019s actions, but it doesn\u2019t end there. Soon Naomi is at the door of number 7 to tell Bernie she\u2019s going to sue her for defamation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Bernie has just made a stressful situation for Asha ten times worse for the whole family.\u00a0<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow Arrow
