Carla's stalker REVEALED on Coronation Street
Find out who has been posing as dead Rana to scare the factory boss
Coronation Street has revealed who is behind the terrifying hate campaign to frighten factory boss Carla Connor (Alison King) by sending sinister messages online posing as dead Rana Habeeb - the culprit is the tragic nurse's former sister-in-law Alya Nazir (Sair Khan).
The first part of Wednesday 10th April's double bill confirmed the mild-mannered ex-Underworld worker had contacted Carla on social media pretending to be Ms Habeeb with the menacing missives 'You destroy everything you touch' and 'You're going to pay'.

Unlucky Rana lost her life in the recent factory roof collapse disaster which Carla is being blamed for, after it emerged Mrs Connor knew the structure was in dire need of repair but was too skint to shell out to have it done.
Little sister Kate Connor (Faye Brookes), who was due to marry Rana on the day she died, has turned on Carla, along with the deceased's grieving brother Imran Habeeb (Charlie de Melo) and most of the community who hold her responsible for the tragedy due to her negligence.
Monday 8th April saw the scary posts start, throwing Carla into a paranoid spin to the point where she was leaving tearful voicemails on Rana's phone begging forgiveness. In the coming weeks guilt-ridden Carla is set to lose her grip on reality and flee Weatherfield in the midst of a breakdown when boyfriend Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) urges her to seek medical help, but viewers know Carla is probably not to blame for the roof caving in as it was deliberately tampered with by an as-yet unknown enemy of the brunette ball breaker.
