Coronation Street is set to be rocked over the coming weeks, with a shock death likely to take centre stage on Christmas Day. It is a rarity that the soap uses its festive episode as a time to kill of a character, but they are throwing their scrapbook out of the window this year.
One character could be set for further heartbreak, as it has been reported that the character to lose their life in the fatal shooting is Shona Platt (Julia Goulding). It has already been another nightmare year for her husband David (Jack P Shepherd), who was recently in prison for scheming Audrey (Sue Nicholls) out of a large sum of money. But, it could be set to be a disastrous end to the year for one of the stalwarts of the show.

It has been teased that the couple are set for the ‘biggest test to their relationship ever’. That is a pretty bold claim from the insider considering that Shona has been stabbed and David has been jailed during their time together. That isn’t even mentioning the fact that Shona is actually the mother of the man that killed David’s previous wife.
All the action on Christmas Day will centre around Derek Milligan (Craig Els) as he wealds a gun around the Winter Wonderland. A mass shooting will ensue, and there could be dire consequences for Shona and David. It is unclear as yet whether the shooting is fatal, or whether there are life-changing injuries to Shona, but either way, 2020 doesn’t appear to be plain sailing for the troubled pair.

The new plan for the characters could be the way to write Shona off television for the next couple of months as she is due to leave the soap for her maternity leave any day now. The consequences from the shooting will leave the couple further apart than ever and will have impacts on the remaining members of the Platt family.
It remains to be seen whether the couple can make it through this latest twist in their lives, but it has also been revealed that the shooting will split the street in two. However, if there is any couple that is strong enough to deal with this kind of situation, then it would be Shona and David.
