Next week promises to be an emotional rollercoaster as per the latest Coronation Street spoilers. Shona Platt is left shaken by news involving her estranged son, Clayton Hibbs. Fans will remember Calyton’s harrowing history with the Platts. He is responsible for the brutal death of David’s late wife. It’s no wonder Shona and David vowed never to mention him again. But when unexpected events bring Clayton back into their lives, it’s clear that some secrets can’t stay buried forever.
A Disturbing Phone Call
It all begins when David receives an alarming phone call that shakes him to his core. Viewers saw him pick up the phone last week, only to hear Clayton on the other end. Despite David’s initial instinct to keep this shocking development to himself, his brother Nick Tisley (Ben Price) soon learns of it.
Nick urges David to tell Shona the truth before she discovers it elsewhere. But David, known for his stubborn streak, decides to take matters into his own hands and visits Clayton behind Shona’s back.
This visit, however, sets off a chain of events that David never anticipated. On returning home, he’s met with a distressed Shona who reveals that the police have been to see her—Clayton is in hospital, and it’s serious. The consequences of David’s secrecy are about to come crashing down, and it’s only a matter of time before the truth emerges.
Shona’s Desperation and Heartache
Julia Goulding, who plays Shona, hints at the chaos that’s about to unfold. “Shona races home in a blind panic,” she reveals. “She’s upset and apprehensive to even mention Clayton in front of David. They’ve got so much happening within the family already, but seeing Clayton becomes her main priority, so she rushes to the hospital without a second thought.”
The hospital visit is far from a comforting reunion. Shona is devastated when she discovers that Clayton doesn’t want to see her. “He screams at her to get out,” Julia shares. “She’s confused and hurt, unable to understand why her son is so angry and why she wasn’t informed about his condition sooner. It’s terrifying, especially as it stirs up memories of her past struggles with memory loss.”
The Real Reason Behind Clayton’s Fury
It’s soon revealed that David has been blocking attempts from Clayton and the prison to contact Shona. This act, meant to protect her, could end up tearing them apart. Julia Goulding suggests that this betrayal could have significant repercussions for the couple’s relationship. “When Shona finds out her husband has been gaslighting her and had a part in Clayton’s actions, I dread to think what she’ll do,” she says. “But I don’t think she’ll take it lying down!”
As the week unfolds, fans can expect a tense confrontation that could lead to more than just harsh words. With the Platts already dealing with so much turmoil, can their marriage survive this latest test? And will Shona find the strength to face the truth about her son and her husband’s deception?
A Marriage on the Brink
The future looks uncertain for Shona and David as the repercussions of these revelations threaten to break them apart. Julia Goulding teases a dramatic fallout: “There’s only so much one person can take, and Shona has been through more than her fair share. This could be the breaking point.”
Corrie fans won’t want to miss a second of this gripping storyline as secrets unravel and loyalties are tested. Will love prevail, or are the cracks too deep to mend?
