Coronation Street resident Yasmeen Nazir (played by Shelley King) has been subject to Geoff Metcalfe’s (Ian Bartholemew) coercive behaviour since embarking on a relationship with him. His latest scheme has made him convince his wife she is an alcoholic, but things got worse tonight as Geoff forced Yasmeen to drink alcohol after a successful AA meeting, leaving viewers outraged at his behaviour.
The past few months have seen Geoff step up his attempts to keep new wife Yasmeen under his complete control.
He has become obsessive towards his wife and has made steps to stop her from socialising.
Most recently, Geoff managed to convince his wife she was an alcoholic as she decided to seek help.
Tonight saw her husband’s coercive behaviour continue as he re emphasised her issue with alcohol – which she does not really have.

However, alarm bells started ringing for Geoff when Yasmeen spoke positively about her experience of her AA meeting.
She said she was “really glad” she attended after being advised to by Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne), but Geoff didn’t seem so convinced.
Yasmeen told him: “I thought you wanted me to go and I’m really glad I did.
“The lengths, the desperate lengths people will go to get a drink.”
She suggested that her problems were not so serious, leading Geoff to quickly hit back as his control worsened tonight.
She said: “It’s so sad. It made me realise my issues with alcohol are not insurmountable, they’re pale in comparison to other people.
Geoff decided to humiliate his wife by forcing her to drink a bottle of red wine after she spoke to him about her success from her meeting.
He said: “Well then, if that’s the case, we should celebrate, crack open a bottle. If you haven’t got a problem at all we can have a drink together like normal people.”

Yazmeen insisted she did not want to drink, but her husband forced her to “drink every last drop”.
Viewers were left outraged by his latest schemes on Twitter, labelling him as “beyond cruel” and “sick”.
One viewer said: “That Geoff is a piece of work. First he makes Yasmeen believe she is an alcoholic when she isn’t and now he is b***** forcing wine down her neck. I feel sick at the sight of him. Poor Yasmeen #coronationstreet.”
Another echoed: “This Geoff and Yasmeen storyline on Corrie actually makes me feel sick and so uncomfortable to watch #coronationstreet.”
