Aadi Alahan is one of the twins born to Sunita (Shobna Gulati) and Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin) on 13 January 2006. He leaves with his mother and sister Asha (Tanisha Gorey) soon after he is born. In December 2009, Aadi returns to the Street with Sunita and Asha.

Aadi moves into his father's flat in March 2010, after his parents reconcile. Aadi and Asha think that it would be funny if Aadi goes out onto the balcony of Flat 6, Victoria Court. Sunita tries to get him inside but the door jams. Dev tries and breaks the door handle. After many attempts to open the balcony door, they fail but Graeme Proctor (Craig Gazey) is riding by and rescues Aadi just as Sunita is going to call 999.

In August 2010, Aadi is pushed by Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) and bangs his head, as they play a game, while Sophie Webster (Brooke Vincent) is babysitting with Sian Powers (Sacha Parkinson). He is later rushed to hospital, when he loses consciousness as a result of the injury. When the doctors find another bruise on Aadi (as a result of Dev pulling him off the road when a car nearly ran him over some days before), social services are contacted. Immediately they suspect Dev and Sunita of child abuse and Aadi, along with Asha, is taken into temporary care. Dev and Sunita's names are later cleared of any wrongdoing when Simon admits that he hurt Aadi.

Around September 2011, it becomes clear to Dev that Aadi is a talented golfer. He persuades Sunita to allow him to nurture their son's talent although Sunita is unsure as Dev's golf is already becoming very expensive. Sunita finally agrees on the condition that, if Dev is happy to spend money on Aadi and his golf, he needs to be willing to splurge an equal amount on Asha.

Asha Alahan is one of the twins born to Sunita (Shobna Gulati) and Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin) on 13 January 2006. She leaves with her mother and brother Aadi Alahan (Zennon Ditchett) soon after she is born. Asha returns to the Street in December 2009 with Sunita and Aadi. Upon Asha's return, Sunita thinks that she may have measles, after having spots and a temperature. Sunita's doctor from 2004, Dr Patel (Josephine Lloyd-Welcome), from Rosamund Street Medical Centre visits her home and, much to the relief of a worried Dev and Sunita, she is not suffering from measles, just a virus.

In September 2010, Asha is taken into temporary care, along with her brother, when social services believe that Dev and Sunita may be abusing Aadi. She is soon returned to her parents when it becomes clear that Dev and Sunita are innocent.

In late July 2012 Dev and Sunita separate after Sunita has an affair with Karl Munro (John Michie) and chooses to be with him. Asha and her brother meet Karl and he promises both Asha and Aadi that he won't get in the way of seeing their father. The children later see Dev attacking Karl when Dev confronts Sunita and Karl.

Shepherd) later visits the police station and tells Campbell that he witnessed Tracy kill Charlie in self-defence after he had attacked her with a knife.

Campbell later speaks to Liam Connor (Rob James-Collier) who witnessed the abduction attempt and Maria Sutherland (Samia Ghadie) who witnessed the attempted drowning and they both back David's story up. Campbell was last seen investigating the arson attack at Leanne Battersby's (Jane Danson) restaurant "Valandros" committed by chef Paul Clayton (Lee Booth). After Paul reports himself and Leanne to the police, Campbell arrests Leanne and questions her and her boyfriend Dan Mason (Matthew Crompton) gives her an alibi.
