Coronation Street: Why has Ali gone to prison?
Earlier this year, Ali was in a love triangle with Maria and Gary.
When Ali found out Gary was a loan shark, he tried to warn Maria about her new boyfriend.
Gary and Ali definitely weren’t the best of friends but after Ali freaked Maria when he kidnapped her, Gary warned Ali to keep away.
But Gary went a step further and reported the doctors drug problems.
In a rage, Ali ended up beating up Gary on the street and Steve and Ryan. had to pull him off
