Alya Nazir (played by Sair Khan) and Dee Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) are set for a new enterprise on Coronation Street<\/a> \u2013 and the pair are certainly not ones to be messed with.<\/p>\n

In the coming weeks, Alya will join Dee Dee as they come together to form a legal super-team.<\/p>\n

It all started when they teamed up to help free Stu Carpenter (Bill Fellows) from his incorrect criminal charge of murder, which not only resulted in his innocence, but also got the real killer locked up.<\/p>\n

On Monday 14th November, Dee Dee spots a good opportunity and suggests Alya becomes her legal secretary \u2013 an offer Alya can\u2019t refuse.<\/p>

To celebrate the dynamic duo, Coronation Street has released some fun images of the pair together which show they certainly mean business.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the new double-act, Khan told press including RadioTimes.com<\/a>: \u201cAlya and Dee Dee make such a good team, because they have got completely different skill sets. Dee Dee knows, from a legal perspective, exactly what she is doing and she knows the law like the back of her hand whereas Alya makes decisions on gut feelings and impulses.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Alya\u2019s natural instincts and Dee-Dee\u2019s actual knowledge, they make a pretty good team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sterling-Brown added: \u201cI think they really complement each other. Alya has that real calming and logical side whereas Dee Dee has more of a hectic energy, but a super sharp side. They trust each other so they are really invested in doing the right thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cNeither of them were getting paid to help Stu and neither of them were helping him for personal gain, they just both have a strong sense of justice and a good moral compass.\u201d<\/p>\n

Will they team up for more cases? The actors certainly hope so.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, I feel like there are enough murders and crimes on this street that they need two full time detectives so we both could definitely take on that role,\u201d Khan said.<\/p>\n

Sterling-Brown commented: \u201cYes, definitely and I think it would be so interesting to see them take on different things and different settings. I can\u2019t wait to get into court, I don\u2019t know when that will be or what that will be for, but I am just so excited for when that time hopefully comes.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a pairing I think they bounce off each other well and it\u2019s going to be great to see them kick some butt!\u201d<\/p>\n
