As Shona and David get sad baby scan news in Coronation Street, Julia Goulding details time filming 'difficult' scenes
Shona and David fear the worst
Shona and David are about to face their worst fears in Coronation Street next week as Julia Goulding has admitted she found the scenes hard.
The Platts are about to find out that there is a potentially cancerous mass growing on their unborn baby’s neck.
With these scenes due to air soon, Julia Goulding has shared how the scenes took a toll on her.
David and Shona’s bad baby scan news
Next week in Weatherfield, David and Shona get ready for their baby scan appointment at the hospital.
David ends up running into a dilemma though when he gets arrested by Kit over something and nothing. Kit must have a soft side under there after all though as he eventually lets him go.
Finally making it to the hospital, David meets up with Shona and heads into the appointment with her.
The sonographer then tells them that they’ve spotted a mass on the baby’s neck.
A special episode then looks at both David and Shona’s perspectives as they find out more about the mass, being informed that it could be cancerous.
If they choose to go forward with the pregnancy, it would require a complex surgery. This could put both Shona’s and her baby’s lives at risk.
With both Shona and David struggling to cope in different ways, what will they decide to do?
Julia Goulding reveals filming Shona baby scenes were ‘difficult’
As a mum to children Franklin and Emmeline Silver, actress Julia Goulding has reflected on how ‘difficult’ Shona’s baby scan scenes were to film.
She told the Mirror: “It’s crushing. Absolutely crushing. It would be for anyone.
“They were really difficult scenes to do. Because I’ve got children of my own and I’ve had scans, I know how excited you feel before them, and then for them to come out and not to be able to celebrate and have joy with something so joyful, is really, really sad.”
On the topic of Shona’s decision to have the surgery, Julia also shared: “She’s just like, ‘Yep, surgery, we’re doing it.’ And I think that’s where a lot of the conflict comes in, because it’s a particular type of operation and it’s incredibly rare, and there is a risk to mother’s life and baby’s life.” But, what will David’s thoughts be on the matter?
