There’s never a quiet week in Coronation Street, and as David and Shona return from their holiday in France, they step straight into a tempest raging in their own family. It‘s not so much the timing that ignites chaos – it‘s who greets them that brings tensions from zero to explosive. As far as comebacks go, this one is anything but warm and fuzzy – and for David, it hits far too close to home.
Coronation Street: A Family Feud Reignited
David Platt’s already unstable temper is provoked to the point of no return when he sees Kit Green emerging from Sarah’s bathroom in a towel. It’s not the appearance that upsets him—it’s the realization that this man, the same man who got involved with Shona and disrupted his life for months, is now clearly dating his sister.
For Shona, however, the shock is more a chill of breath than a breakdown. She‘s already experienced her short, revenge-driven affair with Kit at Christmas time – an alliance triggered by anger at David for betraying her about her son Clayton.
Then, Shona conceded that Kit was not someone she ever wanted in a romantic relationship. Her moves, she said, were just revenge. Yet the consequences of that choice have hung around in the Platt household like a bad odor.
Kit, naturally, did not remain silent about that encounter. He delivered the truth straight to David’s doorstep, precipitating a spiral of vengeance that culminated with David employing his automobile as a weapon. Kit retaliated in turn by arranging for the Radcliffe brothers to chase him off, and following were months of building tension.
Old Wounds, New Drama
David and Kit’s resentment goes far beyond simple jealousy or familial embarrassment. When Kit discovered David had staged a close-call stunt, arranging for a car to run him down in a desperate bid, involving Harvey Gaskell. Daisy Midgeley was in the middle, literally. It left her seriously hurt and resulted in the traumatic loss of her baby.
Ever since, David has been haunted by the vision of Kit sharing roast spuds at the Platt dinner table. Now, it’s just become his new reality. Sarah’s love life hasn’t won her many trophies, not to mention her latest serious boyfriend, Damon Hay. To David, her current choice seems like another time bomb ready to explode in the family.
And he doesn’t hold back. David vents on Sarah, challenging her judgment and whether she ever considers the cost of what she does. His tirade isn’t simply a brother’s worry—it’s an explosion of years’ worth of watching chaos erupt around him.
But as David gets out of control, Kit’s own anger begins to boil. It does not take long for things to boil over. Sarah is in the untenable position of calming two angry men – her brother and her new boyfriend. Is she able to defuse the situation before things turn deadly? Only the upcoming Coronation Street spoilers can reveal. Until then, stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more soap updates.
