With the knowledge it wasn’t the first time Dev had cheated on her Tara set out to have her revenge on the Weatherfield shop-keeper and next month it looks like Tara’s plans will pay off. However, once her revenge is complete Tara will leave Weatherfield.

Unlucky in love Dev Alahan should be used to his girlfriends plotting revenge on him after he’s crossed them. After all one ex, Maya [Sasha Behar], well and truly had her revenge on Dev by blowing up all seven of his shops and then holding him and Sunita [Shobna Gulati] hostage in the flat and attempting to blow them up. Luckily for Dev and Sunita neighbours rescued the pair in time so then Mad Maya decided to try and mow the pair down but she crashed into a wall and was placed in a coma. Before Mad Maya there was Toxic Tracey [Kate Ford] who, after being dumped by Dev, slashed all of his clothes and trashed his flat.
