Coronation Street airs tense scenes next week, as spoilers confirm Alya Nazir takes action to get Geoff Metcalfe out of her life.
The Weatherfield resident is standing by her gran Yasmeen, Geoff's wife, who remains in prison for almost killing him earlier this year.
She was the victim of manipulation and control, with Geoff isolating his wife from her loved ones and the outdoors.
His abuse led to the deadly attack, and Yasmeen has been in prison ever since she stabbed him in the neck with a glass bottle.
Last month on the first day of her trial, she suffered a heart attack and is continuing to recover in hospital.
Amid the trauma was some hope though, as Geoff's ex-wife Elaine arrived and revealed she would support Yasmeen in court - confirming herself as another victim of his abuse.
She was revealed to be his first wife, real name Phillipa, and the real mother of Geoff's son Tim.
But this week fans were left fearing he had killed her after a sinister showdown, that led to her disappearing.

In upcoming scenes, she remains nowhere to be found with Alya concerned for her safety.
Fearing for Yasmeen's future, as some residents continue to believe Geoff's lies that he was the victim of abuse, she takes action.
With Elaine now gone, she decides she has to stay away from Geoff and feels the time is right to sell her half of the family restaurant.
She doesn't want to face him every day a moment longer, but Sally Metcalfe has another suggestion.
Sally, Geoff's daughter-in-law, continues to support Yasmeen over him, and encourages Alya to buy out Geoff.
She offers her the wedding money for her and Tim given to them by Geoff, knowing full well it was Yasmeen's savings.
But Geoff refuses to let Alya buy him out, enjoying the fact she is struggling with him being there.
It's then that she drops the bombshell that Sally was going to give her the money to pay him.
Geoff is furious, and it isn't long before he has it out with Sally before telling son Tim all about it.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:30pm on ITV.
