Rovers Return gets a new barmaid

According to the Daily Star, by way of Digital Spy as I can't find the original article online, there's going to be a new barmaid in The Rovers Return - Sunita Alahan!

Sunita will be pulling pints after she walks out of her job at the corner shop in a strop with husband Dev. When Rovers landlady Stella finds out Sunita's out of a job, she offers her a barmaid job at the pub. Now this, I like the sound of!
