Coronation Street legend makes shock return as Aadi Alahan's exit storyline begins with dramatic robbery

The beloved character suddenly disappeared six months ago in a shock exit plot that saw him leave his partner and children behind.

But now businessman Dev Alahan has returned from his visit to India - and walked into a storm.
Actor Jimmi Harkishin appeared on screen as Dev as he reunited with Bernie and son Aadi - just as the pair were trying to plan what to do about Aadi's insurance scam.
Last month Aadi accidentally spiked Lauren Bolton with drugs that led to her suffering horrifying hallucinations of Joel.
And things have only got worse as Aadi also set up a fake robbery with Brody Michaelis.
As a masked Brody rushed out into the street, a passing Lisa Swain froze and Carla was puzzled by her lack of action.
Later Aadi told Asha how the lad threatened him with a wrench and forced him to empty the safe.
Asha assures him it's not his fault and he's the victim of a crime and encouraged him to report it.
Aadi told PC Jess what happened claiming the robber made off with £6k in cash.
But when Bernie clocked his shifty demeanour, it didn't take her long to crack him and discover the truth about the insurance plot.
But as she quizzes Aadi about whether he's up for the full scam and all the lying it entails, they were interrupted by Dev's return.
His comeback is just in time as Aadi actor Adam Hussein is set to leave the soap this summer.
The Sun revealed the star had quit earlier this year after five years on screen.
