Carla Connors (Alison King) stalker has finally been revealed after days of her receiving text messages from someone claiming to be Rana Habeeb (Bhavna Limbachia).

Alya Nazir (Sair Khan) was discovered to be the texter during tonights episode after Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) recruited Kate Connor (Faye Brookes) to investigate.

Carla has been overcome with guilt in recent weeks following the death of Rana when the Underworld factory roof collapsed, and the texts that seemingly came from Rana have helped push her over the edge.

A source told Metro.co.uk: Carla is a broken woman and as she disappears from the street, her life will continue to fall apart.

She puts herself in some very risky situations but refuses to accept any help. Its one of her darkest ever places.

Having been close to both Rana and Kate, Alya is infuriated with Carla but their feud didnt start here – the two characters did clash on the soap last year.

Why does Alya Nazir hate Carla Connor?

Alya first fell out with Carla last year following the death of Aidan Connor (Shayne Ward) who had been the owner of the Underworld factory.

In 2018 Aidan had donated his kidney to his half-sister Carla and as a gift she gave him her 82% shares in the factory, but later that year he took his own life.

In his will he had left his shares to Alya, which was initially only his 18% but it then included Carlas share as well, which gave her complete control of Underworld.

This caused a divide between Alya and Carla for several months as they feuded over the ownership of the factory.
