This is the moment brothers David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) and Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) clash in Coronation Street next week as they both find themselves in complicated webs of lies.
David is currently hiding the fact wife Shona’s (Julia Goulding) son Clayton Hibbs (Callum Harrison) – who killed David’s first wife Kylie Platt (Paula Lane) had tried to reach out to her from prison.
Meanwhile, Nick is continuing to have an affair with his partner Leanne Battersby’s (Jane Danson) sister Toyah (Georgia Taylor).
As our spoiler video from next Wednesday’s episode reveals, David confides in Nick about Clayton’s call.
He insists that he delayed informing Shona about Clayton as she’d said that she wanted them to have more children together.
But things have since got more complicated, as Clayton is now in hospital, and David tells Nick he is worried he might be to blame for Clayton’s condition.
With Shona having rushed to hospital to be with Clayton, Nick encourages his ‘spineless’ brother to be honest about their previous contact.
‘How can you have a baby when there’s a massive lie on the centre of this relationship?’ Nick asks. ‘It’s like putting a plaster onto a gaping wound.’
However, David does not take kindly to the advice, pointing out his brother’s hypocrisy given his affair with Toyah and walks out of the Bistro.
Actress Julia Goulding previously teased that the truth could tear Shona and David apart if she does find out.
She said: ‘When Shona finds out her husband has been gaslighting her and had a part in Clayton trying to take his own life, I dread to think what she’s going to do. But I don’t think she’ll take it lying down!
‘There’s going to be a lot of anger and pain, a possibility they could destroy each other.’
