Shona and David get huge news on Coronation Street – but it’s ruined | Soaps

The moment that Shona (Julia Goulding) and David Platt (Jack P Shepherd) have been dreaming of is finally here, and nothing can spoil it… except for Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances-Brown), obviously.

The Platts have had the year from Hell, and that’s before they even invited a pound shop version of Glenn Close from Fatal Attraction to stay.

The arrival of their baby daughter Harper has caused the cobbles couple no end of sleepless nights. When Shona first discovered she was pregnant, it should have been an exciting journey into parenthood. Sadly, that journey was tainted by tragedy when she and David discovered their unborn child had developed a cancerous tumour on her neck.

The surgery required to remove the tumour involved surgery that could risk Shona’s life. Despite the risks, they weathered the storm and nine months later Baby Harper, who was born shortly after the Corriedale crash.

Unfortunately,little Harper wasn’t out of the woods yet. She was born prematurely, requiring NICU care and a planned operation to remove the tumour. The poor little mite has been plagued with health problems requiring round the clock care.

Frankly, Mister and Mrs Platt have had enough on their plate without having to worry about Shona’s twisted half-sister Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances-Brown) single-white-female-ing all over the shop.

The bunny-boiling baddie’s grand scheme to get revenge on Shona for abandoning their toxic family home as a teen hit a serious snag when her efforts to seduce David into bed went up in smoke – which is what happens when you think you can fool a husband into thinking your his wife by spritzing on her perfume before turning on the lights. Predictably, this resulted in Jodie getting kicked out of the Platts when a furious David told Shona all about her failed seduction routine.

After she tried and failed to find herself a new sucker in the form of teacher Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard), the sinister half-sibling managed to worm her way back into her sister’s good graces – much to David’s chagrin.

Jodie’s ‘in’ has always been Shona’s kids. She was a tower of strength in Shona’s darkest hour and did her very best to look after Baby Harper. She also had a great relationship with her niece Lily (Grace Ashcroft-Gardner) and was in many ways the model aunt – if you forget the gun she’s keeping the house.

As if Jodie hadn’t already proved her gothic soap villainess credentials, she stole the shooter Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) used during his Mancunian standoff in the garage by Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan), Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) and Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell), adding it to her magpie-like box of trinkets stolen from her neighbours.

What was going through Jodie’s head when she decided to get her hands on Carl’s piece? Who knows? But that might be the least of her worries.

Let’s not forget the other smoking gun. Jodie attacked Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) on the same night that Weatherfield’s girl next door murdered Theo Silverton (James Cartwright). She assaulted Sarah from behind to stop her blabbing to her brother about the incriminating box of trinkets.

Now Jodie’s scary treasure trove is about to come back to bite her bigtime in upcoming episodes of Coronation Street – which will seriously rain on David and Shona’s parade, as they receive the best news any parents can.

After getting the all clear for Harper, David and Shona arrive home from hospital with their precious baby girl to surprise the whole family.

However, the mood is soured when Jodie arrives and tells them that she has told the police about the assault. As subtle as ever, Jodie is really picking her moment as she asks to move back in with her half-sister while awaiting her court case. Awks.

Making sure there’s nobody in earshot, Lily quizzes Jodie about the trinket box. Covering her shock, Jodie assures her it’s only a fake gun.

Meanwhile Bethany visits Sarah in prison and tells her about Jodie’s shock arrival at the party and how she confessed to the police about the assault.

Once the gun drama gets out, it seems Jodie won’t be calling the shots for much longer…
