There’s even more Platt drama in store, as David is floundering due to his marriage hanging on a cliff edge following a series of secrets and lies.
David’s drama on Coronation Street
Not only is David in debt to Harvey, having stolen Damon’s money, but he is also at war with his wife Shona following his attempt to keep her estranged from son Clayton.
David is completely unaware of Shona’s night of passion with dodgy detective Kit though. And soon enough, he ends up discovering there could be a villain much closer to home who could rock his world.
Bethany and Daniel
Bethany Platt meanwhile, struggles to get into the Christmas spirit as she continues to deal with the botched plastic surgery hell that left her with a stoma.
Daniel’s determined to make it a Christmas to remember though. But is he still harbouring feelings for ex Daisy?
What’s more, Kit has made his own move on Daisy. But is he really the man she wants? Daisy also gets a surprise of her own. And she intends to make plans to live her best life in 2025.
Leanne gets her revenge at Christmas
As for Nick, he’s already in hot water as his affair with sister-in-law Toyah gets exposed for a second time by his ex Leanne.
Humiliated and in true Battersby fashion, Leanne is out for revenge. But this time, her plotting could have very serious consequences as Toyah faces time in prison for fraud!
With suspicions mounting, a Christmas Day showdown looms as the Battersby sisters come to blows in spectacular style…
