Coronation Street ITVX episode drops emotional baby scan update for fan-favourite pair
Emotions are high
It proved to be a nerve-wracking day for one Coronation Street couple in today’s ITVX early release episode (Monday, November 10), as their baby scan took an unexpected and worrying turn.
David almost missed the crucial appointment following a heated clash with Kit Green. But, he made it to the hospital just in time.
And it was a good thing he did because when the sonographer began the scan, the couple were left shaken by a concerning discovery.
David’s rush to get to the hospital in Coronation Street
Today’s Coronation Street opened with Shona eagerly preparing for her baby scan, excited to finally learn the gender of her little one. But as time ticked by and David failed to show up, her excitement quickly turned to worry.
When Sarah offered her a lift to the hospital, Shona feared David Platt was about to miss yet another milestone. This time, though, he wasn’t trapped in a lift, he was behind bars. After a heated run-in with Kit Green, David was arrested for shoving the police officer during their feud.
Fortunately, Kit had a change of heart. He released David and drove him straight to the hospital to face his furious wife. He arrived just in time, walking in as Shona’s name was called for her appointment.
Once inside, the sonographer began the scan, reassuring the couple she’d be checking that everything looked healthy, but what they saw next left them on edge.
Shona and David face devastating baby scan news
In heartbreaking scenes, the Platts were told that doctors had found a mass on their unborn baby’s neck. The couple were asked to return the following day for further tests and more information.
Desperate to keep Shona calm, David tried to lift her spirits with a takeaway and one of her favourite films, but her mind was fixed on the baby’s condition.
Things grew even more tense when Audrey stopped by. She was excited to learn the baby’s gender and chat about gifts. Overwhelmed, Shona snapped before tearfully apologising. She later admitted to David that she feared something was seriously wrong.
Ever the optimist, David tried to reassure her that everything would be fine and that they’d soon be watching their baby grow up. But Shona wasn’t convinced, reminding him that no one could make that promise.
As the pair brace themselves for their next appointment, Wednesday’s Coronation Street episode (November 12) will pick up the emotional storyline with the couple forced to face the possibility of Shona undergoing a complex operation. But what choice will they make?
