David Platt’s (Jack P Shepherd) feud with Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) got a whole lot worse in Coronation Street when he discovered his enemy was seeing his sister Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien).

David and Kit clashed when Kit had a one night stand with his wife Shona Platt (Julia Goulding). The two have never seen eye to eye, and David still remains convinced that Kit’s relationship with Sarah won’t last.

However, in future episodes of the ITV soap, a development airs that suggests David is going to be proved wrong.

Kit spends the day moving his belongings into Sarah’s flat. Afterwards, they celebrate the big step in their relationship journey together by heading to the bedroom.

But what will David make of this?

The character has an awful lot on his plate right now, as he’s just learnt of a worrying update about his and Shona’s unborn baby.

When David and Shona got to the hospital appointment, the doctor informed them that they had found a mass on the baby’s neck.

She explained that, in some cases, this can block the baby’s airway, and that if it obstructed the oesophagus, it could lead to a build up of amniotic fluid in the womb, which could cause premature labour.

Because Shona was under 24 weeks pregnant, the doctor explained that she could opt for an abortion.

The alternative was to undergo exit surgery, which would involve operating on the baby while still attached via the placenta.

She explained that this was a long and complicated surgery, which held risks for both mum and baby.

As she spoke, she let slip that Shona and David were having a little girl, which Shona was thrilled by.

Later, it became clear that Shona and David had opposing opinions of what to do going forward.

Terrified that he could lose Shona and the baby during the surgery, David admitted that he thought they should opt for the abortion.
