Coronation Street icon Dev Alahan leaves Cobbles after two decades for sad reason Coronation Street icon Dev Alahan is set to leave the Cobbles after getting some worrying news.
Played by Jimmi Harkishin, Dev has been at the centre of some huge storylines on the ITV soap - but he will pack his bags and head to India in upcoming scenes.
Speaking about the news, Kevin Lygo, ITV’s Managing Director of Media and Entertainment, said: "This new commissioning pattern will mean five hours of soaps a week, rather than the current six.
This will mean that Coronation Street will air half an hour less every week, with Emmerdale suffering the same fate.
Dev has been at the centre of some big storylines over the year, but most recently, he has been supporting his partner Bernie as she deals with the devastating loss of her son Paul.
