Coronation Street fans are worried that Shona Platt will be killed off after a series of “weird” scenes involving her long-lost sister and her estranged dad aired on Friday night
Coronation Street fans are worried that Shona Platt will be killed off after “weird” scenes that aired on Friday night’s episode of the ITV soap.
The café waitress, who has been played by Julia Goulding since 2016, is married to David Platt (Jack P Shepherd) and the couple have already been through a lot this year following the premature birth of their daughter Harper. In February, Shona’s long-lost sister Jodie (Olivia Frances-Brown) turned up as part of the programme’s crossover with Emmerdale.
Despite having never been mentioned before she arrived, it has been established that Jodie and Shona had a frosty relationship in the years before they reunited. Viewers are still none the wiser as to what Jodie’s story is, but there is something mysterious about her.
Over the last six months, she has stolen various items from neighbours, pretended to he Harper’s mum and in the latest episode of the world’s longest-running TV soap, things took yet another turn. When her dad Doug turned up in the café, she bumped into a mum she had been talking to on a parenting website and it became clear that she has been pretending to be Shona.
In emotional scenes, Shona’s estranged dad spoke to her he revealed he had been diagnosed with bipolar, but conversation quickly turned to his lack of parenting skills.
Shona told him: “I wasn’t the only victim of your bad parenting. Our Jodie is certainly damaged too.” He was about address the topic but then Jodie burst in and said: “How you getting on? Has she forgiven you yet?” Jodie then convinced Shona to let their dad stay for the day.
Shona then pressed her dad on what he was going to say earlier, but he claimed it was nothing. Jodie then told him: “We’ve both got what we want, so… let’s not rock the boat.” Doug then left the house and made plans to see his daughters again. As he drove off, Jodie said: “I hope you’re right about letting him back into our lives.”
Just towards the end of the episode, Jodie sat in the living room alone, plucked David and Shona’s wedding photo out of an album and scribbled out her sister’s face.
Reacting to the bizarre scenes, one fan wrote on X: “Is Shona and Jodie’s dad finally going to give us the backstory we’ve all been waiting for to understand why the hell Jodie behaves the way she does??”
Another said: “Jodie pretending to be Shona is so f*****g weird A third predicted that this could ultimately end in Shona’s death if Jodie is not stopped soon. They wrote: “Jodie needs to be stopped. Her vendetta against Shona is so stupid – I hope Shona isn’t going to die or get seriously hurt because of this psycho.”
Coronation Street airs Monday to Friday at 8:30pm on ITV1 and is available to stream from 7am on ITV X.
