Jodie is Shona’s sister in Coronation Street

Jodie was first seen during Monday night’s episode of Corriedale (January 5), and what an episode to arrive in! A first glimpse of her was seen in the back of Graham Foster’s van, tied up and in a state of distress.

However, she managed to escape and eventually got herself to the safety of a hospital.

When there, she crossed paths with Shona Platt who had gone into labour and was awaiting surgery.

Having the exact same tree tattoo as Shona, Jodie continued to watch Shona tonight from a distance before staring through a window at her little baby Harper.

When a member of staff asked if she was a ‘proud mum,’ she responded that she was in fact a ‘proud auntie.’ Yes, she’s Shona’s sister.
