David disagreed with her decision and explained that he didn’t know whether it would be worth Shona risking her life for it. It’s a difficult time for Shona and David (Credit: ITV) Julia Goulding teases Platt marriage tensions following surgery decision With both Shona and David having different views over the idea of surgery, Coronation Street actress Julia Goulding has teased that this will put a huge strain on the couple’s marriage. With Shona feeling ‘isolated’ in her feelings, Julia explained to the Mirror: “Termination isn’t an option for her. “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. And that’s where David’s arguments come in, to at least think about the pros and cons of having a termination or having the surgery.” However, despite this ‘conflict,’ Julia admitted that the special episode highlighted ‘how much stronger they are when they’re together and on the same track.’ So here’s to hoping that the couple can support each through this tough time no matter what they ultimately decide to do.

She offered the first one out to Rita who spat it out. It turned out that the sugary drink wasn't made for Rita's palette (she literally sells sweets for a living). Ben tried to lift Rita's spirits though. At least Mary enjoyed them! Tyrone decided to go back to work Tyrone realised just how much pressure Fiz was under after Michael told him all about her outburst at work. He apologised for not realising how much she was struggling, deciding to head back to work and put in the graft. One piece of paperwork at a time. Will headed off to Leeds The Driscolls expected Will to come home from school and were baffled when he didn't return. He then phoned them and said he was meeting up with his old athletics team in Leeds. Right... Megan then contacted Ben and said that there was a load of traffic, meaning that Will would have to stay with the team in Leeds for the night. How many are in this team again? Just two? Sally worried about Kev Kevin tried to distract himself with a poker night at his place. He soon worried Sally though when bet his car. Sally fired back by betting Tim's car (Tim literally had no say in the matter). Sally ended up winning Kev's car, but the good friend she is, she decided to let him keep it.
