Coronation Street's Jimmi Harkishin talks to Soaplife about Dev's undying love for Sunita and how he's ready to fight for her, as she lays fighting for her life...
Just before The Rovers blaze Dev asked Sunita if she loved him… Would Dev forgive Sunita for everything?
"The thing that’s been most interesting to play throughout this storyline is Dev’s capacity to forgive this woman because of how much he loves her. "
But as Sunita lays in hospital, suspicions are growing that she started the fire because she has keys to the pub...
"Dev doesn’t believe that. He knows Sunita better than anyone else though and he will not believe that she is capable of arson. It’s as simple as that. Yes, Sunita had the keys, but that means nothing. She worked at The Rovers and she might have still had them from then."
The doctors warn Dev that Sunita might not make it. Does he manage to stay strong?
"Dev's big consideration is his children, always. When he’s with them, he’s trying to keep everything normal to protect them, but then he goes to bed alone and breaks down."
Would Dev cope as a single dad without Sunita?
"He'd never ever get over it. Who would? For the next 10 or 20 years he'd be devoting his life to the children and he would never be who he used to be."
