Turns out, David’s been left for dead following a hit and run in upcoming scenes set to air at 8pm, which are already turning heads on ITVX.
Just recently, David got himself on the wrong side of Andy, who ominously pointed a blade and hinted that Harvey Gaskell’s keen on seeing David push up daisies to cash in on life insurance to square away debts.
Wednesday’s action-packed instalment sees David teetering on the brink of the hereafter after plotting with a hitman to get mowed down on purpose!
Coronation Street’s Jack P Shepherd appeared to let slip his character David Platt’s fate on Wednesday’s This Morning
He’s hoping to settle his scores with gangster Harvey via the payout.
But there’s a heart-thumping twist: pregnant Daisy Midgeley makes a dash from the pub right when David’s getting bowled over, leading to both characters getting hit. At death’s door with Shona Platt by his side, David’s bleeding out while Kit Green frantically calls for medics.
Simultaneously, we’ve got Jenny Connor and Daniel Osbourne fretting over Daisy, with her unborn kid’s safety on the line, reports Lancs Live.
David planned to get himself killed
While chatting it up on This Morning, Jack, aged 37, talked about his near-25-year run on the Street, telling Sharon Marshall, and hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley: “Yeah, 25 years, it’s a long time, I think it’s 25 years next month.”
Dropping a bombshell, he adds: “It would have been nice to kind of reach that milestone but… sadly, tonight’s the end, so… but I’ve loved every minute of it!”.
The shocking revelation left Sharon, Ben and Cat all gobsmacked back in the studio as Ben queried: “Jack, is tonight the actual end for your character?” to which Jack responded: “Yeah! I can’t believe we’ve managed to keep it out for so long but I think everybody will enjoy it!”.
Will David survive?
Ben then asked: “Is he saying yes or no there Sharon?” to which the soap expert clarified: “Well, I cannot say how it ends tonight, it has been kept under wraps but you’re definitely not filming today…””You have come in on a day you’re not, he’s not filming, he has just come in! Has he just given us a massive bombshell?” to which Ben replied: “I think he might of!”.
Jack added: “I’ve loved my time here, loved the character and yeah it’s a really special episode!”, he continued: “I think we did something similar when Kylie died, I don’t think the audience were expecting that till I came on This Morning and said the character sort of dies!”Wrapping up the interview, Sharon teased: “Well we better tune into that, all I will say is you will get the answer tonight as to what happens!”.
