Dev had hoped for a reunion once the twins were born but after initially allowing him in the delivery room, Sunita barred him from all contact and only accepted help from him when he was too exhausted to refuse.

After Dev discovered Sunita's engagement, he began making visits to her house and trying to spend more time with Aadi and Asha, not wanting them to forget him.

After a couple of weeks, Sunita died in hospital and it later transpired that Karl was responsible for the fire and removing her breathing tubes.

Campbell arrests Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) and charges her with assaulting Charlie Stubbs (Bill Ward).

Campbell also questions Charlie's employee Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas) who tells them that Tracy staged a deliberate row in order to get the police involved.

David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) later visits the police station and tells Campbell that he witnessed Tracy kill Charlie in self-defence after he had attacked her with a knife.

In December 2006, he is christened Frederick Thomas with Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) as godmother and Roy Cropper (David Neilson) as his godfather.

When Michelle's son Ryan Connor (Ben Thompson) discovers the gay affair, he steals Sonny's car and takes it for a joyride.

She visits 11 Coronation Street with a baby girl (Amelia Caudwell), whom she claims is Jason Grimshaw's (Ryan Thomas) daughter.

Jason initially refuses to bond with Holly, while all the other residents of No.11 rally round to support Eileen with the baby's upkeep.

Emma reveals that she actually had a relationship with Charlie Stubbs (Bill Ward) – who had told her that he was called Jason Grimshaw.

She tries to convince herself and others that Emma is an unfit mother, but after a change of heart, Eileen eventually hands the baby over to Social Services.
