 and Alya Nazir (Sair Khan) caught in the crossfire, as armed police swoop on members of the far right extremism gang. The cast and crew of the soap are currently filming scenes on location, as Maria and Alya are watched and intimidated by the sinister and racist thugs. As the pair walk together after a campaign, they are monitored from a car, but suddenly things spiral when armed police suddenly descend on the scene, pointing guns at the vehicle. Griff looks less than impressed as he emerges from the car with his hands in the air, but are Maria and Alya actually part of the set-up? And will they find themselves in serious danger as a result? Councillor Maria has been supporting local refugees, which has caught the attention of the vile group of criminals. The community are standing up to the thugs, who have recently been shown launching a violent attack on Daryan. Meanwhile, troubled Max Turner (Paddy Bever) has been groomed into the gang, with Griff pouring venom in his ear, and daughter Lauren seducing him. Recently, other location filming saw Max hanging out with members of the gang on a camping ground. It's all part of a major, topical storyline which Coronation Street announced recently. Over the course of the next few months, Max will become more and more estranged from his family, falling under the spell of manipulative Griff, who uses Max's passion for video editing and his computer wizardry to spread their racist propaganda. Discussing the upcoming storyline, Coronation Street producer Iain MacLeod said: 'Overall, Max's story is one about the grooming of a vulnerable teenager at a point where he's feeling most alienated and disenfranchised.
