Jodie Ramsey’s arrival was never going to pass unnoticed, but next week on Coronation Street she goes much further. After getting caught in a compromising situation that leaves David Platt stunned, she barely looks embarrassed. Instead, the moment appears to be part of something far more deliberate, and the Platts may already be caught in her game.
Jodie Deliberately Crosses A Line And David Reacts Exactly How She Hoped
Since turning up in Weatherfield earlier this year, Jodie has unsettled residents, especially her half-sister Shona and her husband David. Despite repeated warnings about Carl Webster’s cheating reputation, including advice from Shona and Abi Webster, she continues flirting with him.
Next week she pushes matters further. David comes home and finds Jodie half-dressed alongside Carl, and he instantly throws Carl out in disgust.
He looks furious and protective, convinced Carl has behaved badly. The reaction proves useful to Jodie rather than humiliating.
It is precisely the response she wanted. An insider revealed David is stunned to catch them together because everyone believed Jodie had listened to the many stories about Carl being a love rat. Instead, she barely seems bothered and even appears pleased by how strongly he reacts. She interprets his anger as proof he cares about her and that encourages her to continue.
The Fling Is Only The Beginning Of Her Manipulation
Trouble continues later in the week when she becomes involved in another conflict surrounding David’s daughter Lily, showing a clear pattern; she creates drama and then uses the aftermath to her advantage.
Lily gets caught throwing away newspapers instead of delivering them, and Jodie takes her to the Kabin to apologise to Brian Packham and Rita Tanner. The plan collapses when Lily refuses to show remorse, and Brian reacts sternly, leaving Jodie furious.
Rather than backing off, she escalates matters. A source explains Jodie actively stirs tension by turning Hope Dobbs against Brian and Rita, encouraging the youngster to act for her and settle scores. Piece by piece, she spreads conflict across the street while keeping herself central in David’s attention.
The passionate encounter with Carl begins to look strategic. Now the question is no longer whether Jodie will cause more drama but how far she intends to go to get exactly what she wants. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Coronation Street spoilers.
