He could even put his friendship with Maria in danger
He’s been feeling vulnerable and his wife Shona isn’t around
Off-screen, actress Julia Goulding is living a life of bliss after giving birth to her second child in November, 2022, a little girl named Emmeline Beanie Silver.
Unfortunately, Weatherfield routine includes drama and heartbreak for her alter ego, Shona Platt.
In recent scenes, Shona left the cobbles to help her stepdaughter Lily in her pursuit to become the next football star.
Meanwhile, her husband David (Jack P. Shepherd) is left alone in Weatherfield and has been trying to cope with Max Turner (Paddy Bever) facing justice for his involvement with Griff Reynolds’ far-right group.
Coming up on ITV, David is aware Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) works at the STC and asks him to find out how his son is coping.
Sadly, the lad is later seen nursing facial injuries after a brutal attack.
David is later informed of the attack and, devastated, drowns his sorrows in the Rovers.
He’s found drunk and alone in Victoria Garden by Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) with whom he’s shared years of friendship.
The local politician and hairdresser is sympathetic to David’s struggles… but when he leans in for a drunken kiss, she orders him to go home.
Both Maria and David have known each other for more than a decade and this wouldn’t be the first time the barber tries to kiss the bombshell.
Can their friendship survive this?
While that remains to be seen, things are definitely set to go from bad to worse for David as Shona Platt makes her return, with restaurant Speed Daal being her first stop.
She later assures David that, from then on, they will face everything together as a team… but she will be hearing about what he’s been up to in later scenes.
Maria is the first to break the news to her own other half, Gary Windass (Mikey North) and it doesn’t take him long to find Shona in the Rovers to tell her about how David tried to kiss his wife.
Shona is mortified, hurrying out of the pub in a flash.
David tries to defend himself, telling Gary he was drunk and deeply regrets his actions.
But when he returns home, Shona is having none of his excuses and tells him she’s leaving him.
Is it really the end for the couple?
Coronation Street airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday on ITV.
