Unsure how to handle the situation, Dev confides in Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) about what's going on.
Corrie bosses have previously announced that Steve's daughter Amy Barlow will get pregnant in an upcoming storyline, with unconfirmed reports suggesting that gang leader Tyler Jefferies will be the father.
After hearing what Dev has told him, could Steve put two and two together and make five when he later learns of Amy's pregnancy? Will Aadi be accused of being the dad?

Coronation Street has recast the role of Aadi Alahan, after actor Zennon Ditchett exited the show.
Ditchett first played Dev's son in 2009 but chose to step down from the part late last year in order to focus on his A Levels.
Adam Hussain will be taking over as Aadi, with his first appearance airing on Wednesday, April 15. The recasting comes as Aadi will have a significant role in his twin sister Asha's upcoming storyline starting later this month.
Asha, played by Tanisha Gorey, will be mortified when sexual images are leaked by her boyfriend Corey Brent to her friends and online. Aadi tries his hardest to help and protect Asha, but is powerless to stop the images from spreading and damaging her reputation.
The ITV soap is working with the NSPCC on the storyline.
"I am excited to play the role of Aadi, putting my own twist on him as the character becomes involved in an important new storyline," Hussain said.
"I was already good friends with Tanisha Gorey before coming to the Street, which helps hugely with portraying the bond of brother and sister.
"Everyone at Coronation Street has been so welcoming, bringing me into their family and treating me as one of their own. I have always associated Coronation Street with family and togetherness, which is so important at this time.
"Having already filmed the start of this story before we had to stop production, I look forward to returning as part of the amazing team who bring entertainment and joy to the screens of viewers across the nation."

Coronation Street has confirmed plans to revisit the romantic chemistry between Aadi Alahan and Amy Barlow.
A possible spark between the pair was first explored earlier this year, but Aadi became distracted when Courtney Vance made a play for him and they started an affair.
Aadi and Courtney are now living together in a flat, but recent spoilers have suggested that their relationship could be nearing its end.
In the coming weeks, Aadi will become more closely involved with Amy again as the show explores how she's coping following her rape ordeal. Elle Mulvaney, who plays Amy, first hinted at this story last week when she promised some surprising new scenes.
Speaking to Digital Spy and other media in a recent press call, Coronation Street's producer Iain MacLeod explained: "Amy, despite outward appearances, is profoundly affected by what happened ? as she will be for the rest of her life. So there's another chapter of this.
"We wanted this chapter to be a final catharsis that doesn't allow Amy to move on exactly, because I don't know that you ever can. But it allows her to enter a different chapter of her reaction to what went on.
"Amy will find herself driven to some fairly extreme lengths, in what she sees as an attempt to right some wrongs. She feels that she's acting in an entirely justified way. But it will fall to one of her friends to pull it back from the brink before she criminalises herself essentially, in a pursuit of what she believes to be a just outcome.
"I've just watched these scenes recently, and they are stomach-churningly good and entirely believable. I think Elle Mulvaney and Adam Hussain, who's the actor in the middle of it as Aadi, are fantastically good ? both individually and together across this story.
"Indeed, this story is a really significant staging post in our ongoing fostering of this closeness between Aadi and Amy. It's them being best friends and having each other's back, come what may. It's a really, really long-range love story that we're hoping to tell with them. It's going to really engage the audience."
He continued: "With what's on screen in November, Amy and Aadi have to collaborate to escape from the crisis. They come out the other side with a totally different assessment of their feelings for each other.
"The story is troublingly very close to events that can and do happen in the real world. It's a continuation of a story that I think we've told really well. I think it's been very truthful from the outset ? and the writing, the performances and the direction has been very realistic.
"We were keen to try to make sure that we retain the same level of sensitivity around this. So yes, it's big and dramatic, but we've tried to do it sensitively. It's a really powerful storyline that will take us through that major incident in November and then into a love story chapter for Amy and Aadi."
MacLeod also addressed what Aadi's growing closeness to Amy will mean for Courtney's future in the show.
He said: "I should say, I love Steph [Davis, who plays Courtney]. And I love Courtney! I think she's just been a big, colourful glitter bomb that's gone off in the middle of that storyline.
"But the long-term direction for Aadi is Amy Barlow. So what Courtney's role, if any, might be going forward, I don't know definitively, but I don't see her and Aadi as being the forever couple."
Looking forward to Aadi and Amy, I think they make a great couple. I could not take to the Courtney character and hope we do not see too much more of her.
i believe courtney is gone now, senseless storylineQuote:

What a shame, I like him ... I presume he will be recast?

Coronation Street star Adam Hussain is leaving the soap after five years.
The actor confirmed the big news on Instagram on Friday (April 11) following reports that he'd quit his role as Aadi Alahan.
Adam told fans: "I guess the secret's out now! As some of you may have heard, I will be leaving Coronation Street for new pastures.
"Over the five years I've spent there, I have learned so much about the world and the industry and now feel I am ready to spread my wings a little."
He added: "I have made friends that will last a lifetime and will surely miss such a special family!
"This isn't a farewell for Aadi, however, more like a see you later! I'm excited to see what the future brings!
"Thank you @coronationstreet @itv for giving me such a privilege of portraying this character for you. Until next time!"
Digital Spy understands that Adam told Corrie bosses that he'd be leaving to pursue other projects.
The young actor will remain on screen in the show until the end of summer.
Adam joined Coronation Street in 2020 after Zennon Ditchett, who'd previously played Aadi, left the show to focus on his studies.
Speaking to Digital Spy in 2021, Adam reflected on the transition by telling us: "It's been an experience! I've learned a lot. I've been able to grow as an actor and as a person as well.
"I've enjoyed being able to enter this new world of stable work with so many great actors and great people, who are like a family now. It's been transformational for me.
"At first, viewers were a bit shocked and surprised that Aadi had been recast. There were one or two negative comments online.
"But that's what you expect when you go looking for that sort of stuff, especially when you're replacing someone.
"I found it a little bit nervous and awkward coming in after replacing someone who had been on the show for so long. But after a while, the audience grew to me and I grew more into it as well."

Coronation Street has confirmed a new storyline for Aadi Alahan ahead of his upcoming exit.
Back in April, Adam Hussain announced his decision to leave the soap after playing Aadi for five years.
Aadi has been holding the fort at his dad's corner shop while Dev looks after his injured auntie in India. Meanwhile, Dev's fianc?e Bernie Winter has been keeping an eye on his kids during his absence.
In upcoming scenes, Bernie is concerned when she overhears a conversation between Aadi, Amy Barlow and Summer Spellman. She worries Aadi is acting like he's middle-aged before his time.
When Bernie tells Aadi to close up the shop early and go enjoy himself, he and his friends decide to throw a party. Is this the perfect opportunity for Aadi to let his hair down, or will it end in tears?
"Aadi hasn't had much excitement in his life recently - he's been holding the fort at the shop while Dev's been away from Weatherfield," our Corrie source says.
"He takes on board Bernie's words of advice, realising that it's time for some fun. But with Aadi's exit from the show getting closer, could there be a greater significance to come from this party?"
Coronation Street will air these scenes air on Friday 20 June. :crying:
