A hilarious slip during the June 23rd episode of Coronation Street has left fans in stitches, and now, Adam Hussein—who portrays Ardi Alahan—has cleared up the mystery behind his character’s unplanned stumble. Was it scripted? Or was it just a genuine mistake? Read on for the funny details!

In the most recent Coronation Street episode, fans witnessed a delightful yet unscripted moment during a scene where Ardi Alahan tries to chase after Lauren Bolton. Ardi, still shaken by recent events, organizes a party for the younger Weatherfield residents in an attempt to have fun and break free from his usually reserved persona. However, things take a turn when Lauren, upset by an incident at the party, storms off. Ardi, in his usual panicked state, races through the cobbled streets of Weatherfield in a desperate attempt to find her. However, as he dashes through the cobbled streets, his efforts are thwarted when he trips up a step, sending him stumbling to the ground.

The unscripted fall caught viewers by surprise and immediately sparked a reaction on social media. One eagle-eyed fan quickly took to Instagram, asking, “How was your trip? Was this scripted or a genuine trip?” To this, Hussein responded in a typical light-hearted fashion, adding a laughing emoji and confirming that the fall was indeed unplanned. “That was not scripted,” Hussein wrote on his Instagram story, offering an amusing behind-the-scenes glimpse of the mishap. It seems that Ardi’s uncoordinated trip was entirely accidental, but it worked perfectly for the character’s frantic state of mind, adding an extra layer of realism to the scene.

Hussein, who has portrayed Ardi Alahan since 2020, has won the hearts of Coronation Street fans with his portrayal of the awkward yet endearing character. However, fans will soon be bidding farewell to Ardi as Hussein confirmed his departure from the show earlier this year. The actor shared the news on his Instagram in April, writing, “I guess the secret’s out now, as some of you may have heard, I will be leaving Coronation Street for new pastures.” Hussein expressed gratitude for his time on the show, stating, “Over the 5 years I’ve spent there, I have learned so much about the world and the industry, and now feel I am ready to spread my wings a little. I have made friends that will last a lifetime and will surely miss such a special family. This isn’t a farewell for Ardi, however, more like a see you later.”

Although fans are sad to see Ardi go, Hussein’s statement suggests that he’s ready for the next chapter in his career. “I’m excited to see what the future brings,” Hussein added.

Despite his exit, Hussein has undoubtedly made a lasting impact on Coronation Street, and his portrayal of Ardi will be remembered fondly by viewers. It’s not just Ardi’s humour and vulnerability that made him so beloved, but also the sheer honesty and relatability Hussein brought to the character. With Hussein’s departure on the horizon, Ardi’s storyline is set to come to an end—but fans can rest assured that Ardi’s journey will have a lasting impact on Weatherfield, even if Ardi himself doesn’t remain in town.

With Ardi’s storyline winding down, fans can expect plenty of drama, laughs, and possibly even more unplanned blunders from the Coronation Street team. Stay tuned for future episodes, as Ardi’s character continues to navigate the challenges of family, love, and growing up in Weatherfield. Will Ardi find peace before he leaves? And how will his absence affect the Alahan family? We can’t wait to see what’s next!

Until then, let’s just hope Ardi doesn’t trip up any more steps!
