SHOCKING TWIST!!! The Shocking End to Harvey Gaskell’s Reign! Coronation Street Unleashes a Dark Twist
In an explosive turn of events, Coronation Street has hinted that the Platts’ ongoing ordeal with notorious gangster Harvey Gaskell is finally drawing to a close. The latest developments from Friday’s episode, which is available for early streaming on ITVX but has yet to air on ITV1, have left fans on edge.
Shona Platt took drastic measures to end Harvey’s reign of terror once and for all. After weeks of relentless threats from Harvey—who had discovered that David Platt had stolen a hidden stash of his money—Shona finally reached her breaking point. As David recovered in the hospital after a shocking hit-and-run outside the Rovers Return, Shona uncovered a devastating truth. David had deliberately orchestrated his own accident, hoping that his life insurance payout would allow the Platts to settle their debt to Harvey, thus keeping his family safe. His desperation left Shona reeling.
Determined to save her husband and family, Shona resorted to a desperate and risky strategy: blackmail. She stormed into Daisy Midgeley’s hospital room and delivered a chilling ultimatum. “I really don’t want to do this,” Shona warned, “but I know you’ve got money from Stephen, from Carla—wherever. I need it. I need £40,000. If I don’t get it, David is going to end up dead.” She then twisted the knife further, hinting that if Daisy refused, she could expose her involvement with Debbie’s stolen car to the police.
Shona’s timing, however, couldn’t have been worse. Daisy had just received heartbreaking news—she had lost her baby as a result of the crash involving David. Overcome with grief, she was in no state to process Shona’s threats. Shona, recognizing the emotional devastation she had inflicted, quickly fled the room, filled with regret and shame. 
Despite her sorrow, Daisy later mulled over Shona’s demands, realizing the terrifying consequences of refusing to comply. If Shona went to the authorities, both she and Daniel Osbourne could face prison time, leaving little Bertie without a father. Reluctantly, Daisy gave in, texting Shona with a simple but life-changing message: “I’m going to give you the money. Send me your bank details.”
With Daisy’s reluctant cooperation, the Platts may finally have the funds to rid themselves of Harvey’s threats. But as Coronation Street has proven time and again, no resolution comes without its complications. Will the money truly be enough to make Harvey disappear for good, or is another shocking twist just around the corner? Fans won’t want to miss what happens next as this gripping storyline hurtles toward its dramatic conclusion!
