The bistro in Coronation Street is the place to go if you\u2019re after a bit of drama served with your delicious lunch. <\/p>\n
Wednesday (September 13)\u2019s episode dished up quite the feast as Dev (Jimmi Harkishin)\u2019s lunch date with Darren Vance (Ryan Early) went just about as well as we were expecting \u2013 considering secret lovers Courtney (Stephanie Davis) and Aadi (Adam Hussain) were also present.<\/p>\n
The meal was intended to celebrate Dev and Darren going into business together, so Aadi was invited because he\u2019d helped to get the deal through. Amy (Elle Mulvaney) came along as Aadi\u2019s plus one, meaning that there was another person around the table who knew what was going on between Courtney and Aadi and could cringe on behalf of the viewer at key points.<\/p>\n
Prior to the meal Aadi had become annoyed when Dev referred to Amy as if she was his girlfriend, so he pretended he already had a girlfriend called Monica. At the lunch table Dev mentioned Monica, and Courtney told Aadi she was very intrigued to hear all about her.<\/p>\n
Aadi launched into some high praise of his beautiful, intelligent girlfriend \u2013 with Courtney realising his words were directed at her. This lit a spark of passion in her and it wasn\u2019t long before she was heading for the bistro\u2019s bathroom, texting Aadi to join her.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s where Dev caught them, glued to each other\u2019s faces. And, speaking of faces, Dev\u2019s initial reaction was that Darren would rearrange Aadi\u2019s if he knew that he was messing about with his wife.<\/p>\n
Back at the table more tensions were rising as Darren revealed to the people who were still seated that he thought his wife was having an affair and he was determined to find out who with.<\/p>\n
When Courtney returned to the table she confirmed she was, indeed, having an affair. \u2018Makes us even,\u2019 she snapped at Darren, who apparently hasn\u2019t been a model of fidelity himself.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Courtney was feeling reckless and said that the person she was seeing was \u2018hiding in plain sight.\u2019 As Darren got drunk and threatened to \u2018pulverise\u2019 whoever it was, his wife had an additional clue. \u2018He\u2019s got great hair,\u2019 she said as she flounced out.<\/p>\n
Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove) had been getting suspicious that Dev\u2019s interest in Courtney was more than just friendly and when she factored in Dev\u2019s magnificent head of hair she put two and two together. Darren was one step ahead of her and was already lunging at Dev.<\/p>\n
With his dad\u2019s face at risk of being rearranged, Aadi had to speak up and reveal that he, not Dev, is Courtney\u2019s secret lover.<\/p>\n
Darren was so gobsmacked he didn\u2019t even think of thumping him, merely muttered that he would spend the rest of his life stacking shelves for his old man.<\/p>\n
Back at home, Aadi was putting a brave face on the whole situation and told Dev he thought he was in love with Courtney and would have a word with Darren and sort everything out. Dev \u2013 older, wiser and way more experienced in messy relationships \u2013 didn\u2019t think it would be that easy. He despaired at how his son had managed to mess up his life and mess up a business deal which could have made all their lives more comfortable.<\/p>\n
And then Courtney appeared. Darren had kicked her out so she\u2019d rushed straight to her young boyfriend\u2019s house.<\/p>\n
Dev insisted she couldn\u2019t stay with them even after Aadi had gallantly offered to give up his own bed for her. He told her to leave.<\/p>\n
\u2018If she\u2019s not welcome here then neither am I,\u2019 Aadi said, making his dad choose between his business ambitions and his son. \u2018I\u2019m telling you straight, Dad \u2013 if she goes, I go! For good!<\/p>\n
\u2018Who are you going to back \u2013 your son and his girlfriend or your good mate?\u2019<\/p>\n
Dev couldn\u2019t cope with either the decision or the situation \u2013 so he walked out of his own house. He\u2019s going to have to walk back in eventually, but will he be ready to face Aadi?<\/p>\n
