"Ain't ok"
Coronation Street fans fear David Platt is having a breakdown after he knocks teen off bike in violent outburst
CORONATION Street fans are worried David Platt might have Borderline Personality Disorder as he continues to put himself in dangerous situations for weeks.
Tonight's episode opened with David - played by Jack P Shepherd - running at full speed and almost barelling into a local buying a newspaper.
When he gets home his mum Gail (Helen Worth) worried David was punishing himself when he returned breathless from the run.
David insisted he had to run fast to stop the "pack of hungry wolves" chasing him because they were "right on my heels".
Later in the episode, Gail calls his sister Sarah (Tina O'Brien) to come over and help her because David's locked himself in his room.
He emerged enraged because he's just found out his wife Shona (Julia Goulding) is being taken to visit her son Clayton in jail.
So he set out on another run after complaining about the "hungry wolves" again.
But he then saw an opportunity to get himself into trouble, approaching some teenagers on bikes and shoved one of them over before irritating him further by stamping on his bike.
David sprinted off as the raging youths started to chase him.
The episode closed on David's smiling face as he clearly was getting a kick from the dangerous situation.
The father-of-two then started seeking out dangerous situations for thrills in order to distract himself from his misery.
Viewers have watched him pick fights with random gangs on dangerous estates over the past few weeks.
And it looks like David’s thrill-seeking has escalated this week with Corrie fans worried David was having mental health problems.
Corrie fans know that David was gutted when Shona - who’s forgotten who David was - demanded a divorce and refused to see him after being transferred to a specialist unit in Leeds.
