In the latest episode of Coronation Street, Dev Alahan stunned the audience when he confessed the heartbreaking truth: it was his blind rage that contributed to the psychological destruction of his daughter Asha, pushing her to the brink of suicide.

This was not just a normal confession, but a moment that exposed all the struggles, making viewers feel like they were standing in that dark room with Dev.

The story begins with a series of pent-up conflicts.

Dev, after many arguments with his daughter, could not control himself, letting harsh scoldings fly out.

He thought he was “disciplining” and “reining” a child who was going downhill, but in reality, every time he got angry, he cut deeper into the invisible wounds in Asha’s heart. When the tragedy happened, Dev was shocked to realize: that anger never helped him save his daughter, but only pushed her further away.

In a haunting scene, Dev sits alone, his hands clenched, tears streaming down his face, muttering: “It was me… it was me who ruined her.” That confession is not only a father’s pain, but also a wake-up call about the consequences of lack of restraint in the family.

The genius of the Corrie script is to turn the admission into drama: Dev is both in pain and self-torture. The audience sees an imperfect father, but it is that imperfection that makes the character real and approachable. That confession also lays the foundation for a new series of developments: Will Dev find a way to make amends, or continue to be stuck in the spiral of guilt? And more importantly, how will Asha react when she learns that her own father admitted that he contributed to pushing her into darkness?
