Sunita Alahan is returning to 'Coronation Street'

The character, played by Shobna Gulati, originally left the show three years ago after finding out her husband Dev Alahan had fathered a string of children with different women before the couple had twins together.

A source at the soap said: "Talks have been going on for some time to finalise a deal acceptable to all those who are involved.

"Sunita was a great character, so to have her back is exciting."

Sunita will return to the show with a dramatic new look - including dying her hair from brunette to blonde - and is reportedly set to make life miserable for Dev (Jimmi Harkishin), who is already not having much luck with the ladies at present.

On Monday (11.05.09) the love cheat was left red faced as his proposal to Tara Mandal (Ayesha Dharker) backfired after she unveiled a 30ft high naked picture of him with the word 'Liar' across his manhood. The stunt was payback for Dev's recent one night stand with Lisa Dalton (Ruth Alexander-Rubin).
