Tonight’s gripping episode of Coronation Street delivered an intense shocker as David Platt’s dramatic hitman ordeal took a dark and unexpected turn.

What started as a desperate and secretive plan spiraled into a heartbreaking revelation that left his family reeling.

The episode opened with David counting down the hours to the hit he had arranged on himself. Tormented by guilt over his family’s financial struggles

and believing they would be better off without him, David took the drastic step of orchestrating his own demise. The emotional weight of his decision was immense, but his family remained unaware of the depths of his despair—until everything unraveled.

Before the fateful moment, David shared tender moments with his loved ones, including an emotional goodbye with his daughter, Lily, though she had no idea what was truly happening. Nick Tilsley, unaware of David’s turmoil, made lighthearted jokes about David acting as if he was never going to see Lily again, a comment that later carried tragic significance.

Throughout the day, David masked his pain by performing small acts of kindness, including styling his grandmother Audrey’s hair. Their conversation took a poignant turn when David asked Audrey about her past struggles with mental health. Her words of wisdom—expressing gratitude for choosing to live and experiencing life’s unexpected joys—struck a chord with David, but it wasn’t enough to change his mind.

Just when the weight of his decision was already overwhelming, David received a tearful call from Max, who revealed that Harvey, his former captor, was still threatening him from behind bars. This added another layer of distress to David’s already crumbling state of mind. Desperate and consumed by despair, David wrote a heartfelt letter to his wife, Shona, expressing his regret and hope for her forgiveness before drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

As the clock ticked down, David sent the final instructions to hitman Andy, ensuring the attack would be quick and painless. Moments before impact, David stumbled into the street in a drunken haze. Andy, behind the wheel, accelerated towards David, but in a shocking twist, he also struck a pregnant Daisy Midgeley. Chaos erupted as Shona arrived just in time to witness the horrific crash, rushing to David’s side in sheer panic. With blood pooling around him, Kit Green quickly called for an ambulance, as the reality of the devastating scene set in.

Meanwhile, Nick, who had been outside the pub, saw Andy attempting to flee. Confronting him, Nick demanded answers, only to be met with a chilling confession—David had planned the entire thing. Andy played back the incriminating voice message, proving that the crash was not an accident but a deliberate act. However, Andy warned Nick to stay silent, threatening him with dire consequences if he spoke out.

Back at the hospital, Sarah and Nick pieced together the full extent of David’s desperate plan. When Sarah found the letter he had written to Shona, the weight of the truth became undeniable. Together with Audrey, they faced the grim reality of David’s intentions. Shona, anxiously awaiting news about David’s condition, sensed something was off and even speculated that Harvey could be involved. But in an attempt to protect her, Nick chose to withhold the truth, insisting he never caught up with Andy.

As the episode came to a close, the tension remained thick. The family debated whether to reveal the truth to Shona, with Nick and Sarah firmly believing she couldn’t handle the full extent of what had transpired. As Sarah read through David’s letter, his voiceover echoed his regrets and sorrow, leaving viewers heartbroken and wondering—will Shona ever uncover the truth? And if she does, will she be able to forgive David? With the Platt family in turmoil, one thing is certain: the repercussions of David’s actions are far from over.
