Coronation Street spoilers: David Platt meets new fling Emma and bans mum Gail seeing his kids after flying into a furious rage following secret rape ordeal
The hairdresser is irritated by newcomer Emma when he finds out that Maria has taken her on as an apprentice in the salon
DAVID Platt comes face to face with new salon apprentice Emma next week in Coronation Street and the newcomer instantly spots his discomfort whenever Josh Tucker’s name is brought up.
The Corrie stalwart, played by Jack P Shepherd, will go on to have a fling with Emma in a bid to prove his masculinity as he continues to struggle with his feelings following his brutal rape at Josh’s hands.
However, he’s initially irritated to find Maria Connor has taken her on as an apprentice and treats her with typical David disdain.
But when Alya Nazir pops in gushing about her date with Josh and Maria and Jenny Connor share her enthusiasm for the mechanic, Emma – played Weatherfield newcomer Alexandra Mardell – spots that David is distressed.
Will he finally tell someone that Josh drugged and raped him during their boys’ night out?
It doesn’t look likely when he spots Emma and the other girls giggling about a picture of him on Josh’s social media.
What will a furious David do?
Meanwhile, David’s mum Gail confides in Sarah that she’s worried about David and his erratic behaviour.
This comes after he flies off the handle at her for letting Max and Lily sneak off to see Shona in Roy Cropper’s flat.
In reality Gail didn’t actually realise that the kids had disappeared upstairs while she was helping Roy out in the café.
But when David finds out they’ve seen Shona he rages at Gail and tells her she can’t see the kids anymore.
Will David ever reveal his tragic secret or will he continue to push everyone further away?
- Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Fridays from 7.30pm on ITV.
