Baby twist confirmed for David and Shona Platt as he hides sinister secret in Coronation Street
Shona Platt (Julia Goulding) made a huge decision in recent Coronation Street scenes, unaware that David Platt (Jack P Shepherd) is hiding a sinister secret.
Last week, it was revealed that David had been hiding the fact that Shona’s son Clayton Hibbs (Callum Harrison) had requested a visit from his mum.
Clayton has been in prison ever since taking Shona hostage in 2019, after previously being detained for stabbing Kylie Platt (Paula Lane) to death.
In recent scenes, David took several measures to ensure that Shona was kept in the dark about Clayton trying to make contact, but confided in Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) about his dilemma.
Nick was quick to point out that he couldn’t go on hiding this from Shona forever, to which David revealed that he had a plan.
Later, David headed to the prison, where he met with Clayton himself.
Clayton was adamant that he wanted to speak to his mum, but when David made it clear that that wasn’t going to happen, he relented and agreed to talk to him instead.
In a surprising turn of events, Clayton apologised for everything he’d done, revealing that he had started talking to a counsellor while in prison.
Refusing to believe that he was truly sorry, David lied to Clayton and told him that Shona didn’t want to hear from him, and that he was dead to her.
As David left the prison, Clayton looked devastated.
Back at home, David was at odds with himself, and decided that it was time to tell Shona what he’d done.
However, she was in such high spirits as she talked about their future, that David changed his mind – especially when she suggested that they try for a baby of their own.
Having agreed to have a baby with Shona, will David ever come clean about his visit to see Clayton?
