Yasmeen and Stu decided to give things between them a proper go (Picture: ITV)
It’s been a very long road for Stu (Bill Fellows) and Yasmeen (Shelley King)’s relationship on Coronation Street, but could they finally be heading for happiness as Yasmeen invited him to move in to her bedroom?
As viewers know, this is a huge step for Yasmeen, who was left seriously traumatised after being abused and terrorised over a long period by her husband Geoff Metcalfe (Ian Bartholomew). Geoff died in 2020 after falling off the roof during a confrontation with Yasmeen, but his presence continued to be felt in her life for a long time – even appearing in a horrific dream sequence as recently as August.
It took her a long time to begin to trust kind and gentle Stu, but then the bombshell dropped that he’d been in prison for murder. Yasmeen quickly realised that Stu was innocent and stood by him as he battled to clear his name, enduring attacks on her business as she did so. Throughout this time she insisted that she and Stu were just friends.
In tonight’s episode Stu was flat-hunting, as he needed somewhere to live with his granddaughter Eliza (savannah Kunyo) and there wasn’t space at Yasmeen’s for Eliza to have a room of her own. He found a flat, but didn’t seem all that happy about it. Yasmeen wasn’t happy, either, but it took Dee Dee (Channique Sterling-Brown) to point out that Stu had feelings for Yasmeen.
Later, she told him what Dee Dee had said, and revealed that she really didn’t want him to move out. Then, hesitantly, she told him her plan. He could share her bedroom, thus giving Eliza his old room to herself.
‘You said you wanted things to be platonic,’ Stu said. ‘We must have come to the end of our platonic period,’ Yasmeen replied. ‘All bad things must come to an end.’

The pair acknowledged that it hadn’t been an easy journey for them, but that they were due for some happiness, before sharing a warm and much-deserved kiss.
And our hearts are warmed, because, frankly, nobody deserves a little bit of happiness more than Yasmeen and Stu.
