Coronation Street fans could be in for a huge twist soon, as viewers are sure tragic lawyer Imran Habeeb is still alive.
Ostensibly, Imran was killed off in a brutal car crash earlier this year, which saw his wife Toyah plow their car into a wall draped with scaffolding.
Though Imran escaped the vehicle and got Toyah to safety, he died at the scene with paramedics attending him and performing CPR – though his dead body was never seen by viewers.

Now Toyah has been charged with his murder, with custody of Alfie going back to Abi in a foster placement scheme and her hopes of adopting Elsie dashed once again.
But fans are now sure that Imran didn’t die at all, and instead fled the country to make a new life abroad.

Taking to Reddit to air their theories, one eagle eyed fan wrote: “Imran faked it.
“Poor Imran. He was a terrible barrister, losing Kelly’s trial. Lost his first wife Sabeen. Cheated on his new woman. Impregnated his fling. Lost Elsie the first foster baby.
“Cheated in court to get custody of Alfie. Was facing possible sanctions/disbarment for lying in court. Was facing years of dirty nappies and a sometimes psychotic Toyah, who then tried to kill him.
“What if in those minutes after the crash he realised there’s no way he wants to move forward in this life, so he fakes the heart attack?”

The viewer even had a method Imran may have used to enact his plan, as they continued: “Offers the paramedic 20,000 quid to magically not find a pulse? Switches toe tags at the morgue. Quick Muslim funeral.”
They added: “Meanwhile, Imran’s on a plane to Romania with a new passport from Abi’s forging friend.
“She’s happy to help because his ‘death’ means she’ll likely get Alfie and no shared custody. Well played Imran. Well played. Just don’t sleep with Alina because there’s already a bun in that oven.”
Fans quickly hopped into the comments section in agreement, with one praising: “You should be a writer for Corrie!”

Another echoed: “This would be so good!”
“You are hired as a new writer lol,” someone else followed up, as a fourth Redditor giggled: “Hahahaha brilliant!”
It comes as Imran star Charlie De Melo has announced his first acting role since leaving the coveted cobbles, confirming that he is starring in Alan Bennett play The Clothes They Stood Up In at the Nottingham Playhouse.
Announcing the news to his fans, he explained: “When I first announced to my (utterly bewildered) parents, about 1000 years ago, that I wanted to make a try at being an actor, my Mum (presumably after the shock and disappointment had worn off) gave me three provisos, if this was the path I wished for myself.
“Three things she wanted for my life and career. Very pleased to say that, as of today, I’ve ticked the second off that list.
“This theatre, with this material, with this combination of people involved. I can’t wait to get started.”
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8pm on ITV.
