Dev gets a storyline!

Coronation Street fans, prepare for a shock.

Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin) has finally been given a storyline, much like the Mortons a couple of months ago.

I think the last time we saw Dev in a proper storyline was in 2006 when his wife Sunita (Shobna Gulati) left him after discovering he had several daughters - including Amber (Nikki Patel) - and a grandchild.

Here are some pictures of Jimmi filming on location with various new characters linked to Dev - Prem Mandal (Madhav Sharma), Nina Mandal (Harvey Verdi) and Dev's date Lisa (Ruth Alexander-Rubin).

Hopefully this is a sign that we'll be seeing more of them in the coming months. Otherwise, Jimmi will be following in the footsteps of the Mortons and catching the next coach out of Weatherfield.







And finally, Kenneth Cope returned to filming after a 42-year break from the soap as wheeler dealer Jed 'Sunny Jim' Stone.

Jed's now an elderly tenant who's standing in the way of one of Tony Gordon's (Gray O'Brien) new developments.
