Time for change at the Corner Shop?

Dev Alahan has been the Corner Shop boss for a long time now, 17 years in fact, which got me thinking, maybe it's time for a change at the Corner Shop.

I do like Dev as a character, he's strange but likeable.

The Corner Shop however does feel a bit wasted on Dev, most of the scenes we see these days are between Dev, Mary and Erica. It doesn't really feel like a meeting place for characters like it used to, especially now that characters like Molly and Sophie no longer work there.

It would be interesting to see perhaps a new character coming into the street and buying the shop from Dev, who still has Prima Donner to share scenes with other characters.

Perhaps even Freshco could open a mini market there, and bring in a manager.

With Kate Oates first episode airing today, I wonder if we will begin to see some changes on the Street?
