Now that it's been posted no need to keep it in spoilers as I did when replying to you in my post #87. Sonia can't be Rana's mother because the affair has only been going on for 7 years. That has been stated on the show.
Okay, okay, okay.

I think they'll definitely run off together, either that or he does one himself and leaves a note to Yasmeen explaining his deception, and leaving Sonia to explain.
Just reading the mirror article it says that
Spoiler
so maybe they will edit and bring the reveal out sooner and then have them leave overnight leaving the note

Actually this could make the story a whole lot better now I am thinking about it

Maybe he'll do a runner rather than
Spoiler

That way at least something good would come out of the s/l!!
Really don't like Alya, she's a self obsessed little madam & sounds like she's going to get worse!!

She isn't? Oh right! This just goes to show how little I actually follow on Corrie these days. I should really stop commenting on the show completely!

Consider me silenced
I thought that cos when she arrived Rana had been going on about her parents and it wasn't entirely obvious

Now that it's been posted no need to keep it in spoilers as I did when replying to you in my post #87. Sonia can't be Rana's mother because the affair has only been going on for 7 years. That has been stated on the show.
Sorry it wasn't a spoiler just speculation so didn't feel tags were needed in my reply esp as we have seen on screen she is not

Maybe Christmas Day, Yasmeen will find a letter from Sharif saying about the affair.

She used to be ok a nice girl but ever since she slept with Jason and dumped Gary she has turned into a not so nice girl. Her attitude in the rovers the other night was awful.

Well, she could be Rana's mother... but she'd probably already know! Or do you mean that Shariff can't be Rana's father? Well, he could be... but not with Sonia.

Am I confusing things further? I think I've confused myself!

They should have him just disappear then a few weeks later his body is found at Phelans new flats site.

Did he find out about Phelans scam? Did someone find out about his affair? Did the chickens finally decide enough was enough?

He's 45!? Give over. He's the grandfather of Alya and Zeedan who I think are meant to be in their 20's. How old was he when Cal was born, 10?

No you make sense

Janet is saying sharif can't be rana's father cos he has only been sleeping with Sonia 7 years and rana is abit older than that.

But Sonia is not rana's mother either so, sharif could still be the daddy just he would have had to have a second affair with rana's mother.
From what's been said on the show rana's parents are very strict and so
I find it unlikely

The actor. Not the character! The character is much older

I think the actor is too and the mirror is wrong

Crikey. He didn't think before he posted did he?

Jimmi Harkisan and Shelley King are of Indian descent. I don't know about any of the other cast members or crew but how could he hope to continue working at Corrie when he made such offensive comments about Indians?

The suggestion of a recast is a great idea. It's about time Corrie embraced this as other soaps have done. I'm not particularly won over by this SL but It would be so much easier to recast rather than rewriting scripts and changing plans. The viewers could see the whole SL played out as it was meant to be.

I was wondering if he might run out on both women as well, leaving Sonia to face the music and explain everything. But if
Spoiler
then that alters things slightly, although I think it's still a strong possibility that he'll disappear off somewhere on his own rather than leave with Sonia or die.

He's 55 - he acted under a different name - Omar Salimi in the likes of Juliet Bravo, 55 playing 65.

Possibly a typo, 54 would be more believable.

I think a recast would be better than rushing a different storyline which sees him end up dead or missing. Fans are usually unhappy initially but soon get used to a new face and accept it.

He is at the moment because he has a big SL. I'm not sure Corrie would consider a recast though. As others have said, the reveal was meant to be at Christmas. You never know but to fill the void, Corrie might rehash Ty's big cheesy Christmas SL for the girls!

The mirror article says the reveal has been filmed and the fallout was due to be shown at xmas. No reason why that can't still happen just without him

I do kinda feel sorry for the writers in instances like these - it's not their fault.

Interestingly, Marc had his Twitter profile as private and had hardly any followers. One of them may have called a newspaper with the story for some reward?

Perhaps ITV wanted to get rid of him and his rant on twitter gave them the perfect opportunity. Must say I was shocked at the rant because I always thought he did not get involved in politics. May be I was wrong.

Just give Jimi Harkishin the role. Dev and Sharif are essentially the same character anyway ...
That makes me wonder if there was ever any on set tension between them? With Jimmi's Indian heritage (though Jimmi himself is French). Dev is a much more entertaining character anyway
