[edit] Storylines
Ciaran was a friend of Peter Barlow's in the navy who later moved onto the Street to become a barman at the Rovers Return. During his time on the street, Ciaran made an unsuccessful play for Peter's wife Shelley Unwin and was involved in romantic entanglements with Sunita Parekh, Bev Unwin, and Tracy Barlow.
He got engaged to Sunita but was arrested on the day of their wedding and the relationship subsequently ended. He was seduced by Shelley's mother Bev during his time at the Rovers. He spotted a money making opportunity in the form of Mike Baldwin's wealthy girlfriend Penny King and persuaded her to invest money in a new restaurant in which he was the new chef. However, the business floundered as did his relationship with Tracy whom he was dating at the time.
Ciaran proved his courage when he and Charlie Stubbs ran into a burning building to save Sunita and her husband Dev Alahan. Dev's ex-girlfriend Maya had set fire to his shop, leaving him and Sunita inside. Ciaran carried a bound and gagged Dev into the street over his shoulder. He left Coronation Street on July 22 2005 after being threatened by Shelley's abusive boyfriend Charlie and a drunken Bev making another pass at him.
