Where’s the spoilers saying Zeedan blackmails Rana? I haven’t seen that, only that he finds Rana upset?
Oh, my friend pasted them to me and I assumed she got them from one of the places…people…get…spoilers? Lol, I don’t know where they come from, other people do the work.
Okay, digging into it, if you just…search on Google (…?) for the episode number, the description of the ep’s right there. I don’t know how legit that is, but you can try it for yourself: https://www.google.com/search?q=coronation+street+season+19+episode+42
This is the episode text, for what it’s worth.
Sally and Dev look for Gina; Zeedan threatens to expose Rana; Zeedan gets an offer from Rana’s dad.
And if you look at other descriptions of earlier eps, they line up. Still, probably best to take it with a grain of salt, I dunno how it all works.

Have you seen the new spoiler pictures of Kate and rana? Zeedan apparently blackmails rana into staying with him and then it all goes down from there
I did see those, I did. Those aren’t the exact interpretations of the spoilers, I’d say, but that it’s even one of them is alarming for Zee’s characterization. Threatening to expose her? I’m sorry, whaaat? And her parents are there now??
Although, although, it makes a huge difference to me if HE thinks, oh, she had an affair with a dude and thinks her parents can convince her to stay with him, though I’m sure he knows they’ll only guilt and put pressure on her, it’s not going to be some loving “are you sure this is what you want?” conversation, so already, negative marks for Zee there. But if he knows she’s in love with a woman and threatening Rana about telling her parents that? NEGATIVE INFINITY MARKS.

There is a theory going around that Rana will attempt suicide. What do you think of this?
What, wow. A theory based on what?
I wouldn’t be surprised by it, but I wouldn’t like it. TRMD did exactly thism Rana and Jade’s stories parallel in a lot of ways, and Jade, through guilt and pressure, was driven to the same thing, and it wasn’t handled well there, and I don’t expect it to be handled well here. It’s something that shouldn’t be a small side plot as part of a major arc, it should get its own separate treatment.
That’s not to say that LGBT characters shouldn’t ever be portrayed as depressed or that they could never consider or try to commit suicide, but it shouldn’t be as a result of a fairly brief breakup, and then have any negative feelings go away once the couple is reunited. They can’t just treat it like someone going on a bender. And given how the show has just completely glossed over Adam’s attempt over Christmas, I would not put much faith in them doing right by it here
Though, while I wouldn’t be surprised, I wouldn’t expect it. There’s no real dramatic value in it right now. IF they were to pull such a thing, it’d be as a wake up call to the people around her, and there’s a long way to go where that’s at all necessary, and I’d expect any downward spiral to lead to leaving Zee and coming out, that’s her “nothing to lose” thing, and then for her to be supported enough by Kate and Imran to not go further.
