Dev - just a completely bizarre character!

I just don't get it - his acting is beyond atrocious and just completely bizarre and to me, just infuriatingly ridiculous.

Is it just me? Why can't he have a normal conversation with anybody without all the gurning and peculiar 'up and down whining' speech??!!

    It is VERY weird. Can't they just explain it all by having the character being on drugs or something. :D

    He has gotten way weirder than he used to be; I don't quite 'get' him anymore.
    he has always been a bit neurotic and animated but recently he has gone far too over the top. he needs toning down

    He's one of the reasons I stopped watching Coronation Street. I couldn't believe he was still in it when I watched the live episode in December (?) was it?

    He wasn't always this comedy character it began when he had that trouble in his personal life. Before He was a cool successful ladies man.

    He is a pointless character...all the man does is shout!

    I thought he and Sunitta fell out with Steve over Becky stealing from the safe on the night of the tram crash - yet last night they were chatting at the bar like best friends??

    Glad I'm not alone in thinking that he's got worse & worse.

    Didn't they make up at the casino? I remember a bit since then with Dev giving Steve advice at a casino but can't remember what actually happened. It was just before Steve called social services about Max.

    Yes, he's the only Asian character, isn't he? :rolleyes: On that logic, you could also argue the Masoods are token in EastEnders as well - right? :cool:

    It really amazes me when people react like you do to a difference of opinion. Depressing, but amazing all the same.

    Good grief - somebody got out of bed the wrong side !!
    I was having a light-hearted joke with the other poster ( have a look at his description of himself) and assumed I was having my leg-pulled. Quite honestly if you get depressed by people having a chat on a soap forum, you need to get out more !!

    It bugs me when people have a go at other people for not sharing their opinons. It happens a lot on here. That's what it looked like you were doing from where I'm sitting, and having read your post again, I don't feel any differently.

    Dev has been like this for years. He's a pompous bore. Even when he was the smooth ladies man he was still pompous. It's his personality, I just wonder how Sunita doesn't murder him in his sleep :D

    Last night really showed off his sexiest side. Of course I already knew it was there, but last night was a refresher course in just how much of a chauvanist he is. First the thing with his son, but him not praising his daughters for anything, even when Sunita said Asha had won a prize for crafts. And then the Frank thing, he all but disregared what Carla and Maria said to Sean. He can be a complete ass sometimes. It's little wonder Amber rebells against him so much.

    I've never really had much of an opinion of Dev- he's annoyed me but nothing to go mad about. But he really disgusted me last night. I can just about understand defending him to Shaun, but buying him a drink directly after his confrontation with Carla is just insensitive. It was nothing do with him and he knows nothing about their relationship, yet immediately sides with his fellow man. He's plummeted in my estimations.

    Argh, I hate Dev, the actor is atrocious, Dev is ridiculous, I cringe every scene he is in. If there is going to be a storyline with Dev's son and the golf, I can see that I'll be skipping some eps in future!
