Coronation Street actor Charlie de Melo has discussed what his character Imran will do next following sister Rana's tragic death.
Earlier this week saw Rana crushed by Underworld's roof after it collapsed on a number of employees, and although she managed to say her wedding vows to Kate in the wreckage, the paramedics couldn't do anything to save her.
Imran was equally as powerless, standing outside the factory emotionally shattered.

Speaking about Imran's future, Charlie has revealed what's next for him as the character comes to terms with the death.
"When we've seen him in relationships, commanding a courtroom, expressing his anger, those things aren't too exposing as an actor," he explained (via The Courier).

"But showing true devastation you really have to crack open your chest a bit and show what's underneath to make it ring true.
"I've found it very nerve-wracking, I wanted to do a good job and do right by Bhavna and for the ripple effects of Rana's death to continue."
The actor then expressed his sadness about co-star Bhavna Limbachia's exit, noting: "I'm very sad that Bhav's gone, she was the first person I worked with here and we've always had a really good working relationship and a familial chemistry that I don't think comes that easily.
"We had that sibling bond from day one and it made the difficult scenes much easier to film; it was such a nice thing, to come into a job that was so alien to me," Charlie continued.
"I'm really going to miss that but we are going to see a different Imran now and it's a real challenge."
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
