Can't help but feel sorry for Max and Lily especially; they are bound to get attached to him and dogs never last long in soapland It'll be such a shame to see them lose someone else.

Wonder how long we don't see David for now that he's served his purpose in getting David to give the money to Anna.

Shepherd also revealed what actions David is likely to take as he learns of the abuse his niece has been suffering.

He said: "I think the way he's involved is obvious. He finds out that something has been going on with Bethany... and he acts in a way that David sometimes does."

Shona is the link I think. Maybe she will help David to get Bethany out and catch Nathan.

Coronation Street is lining up an explosive showdown for David Platt when he furiously confronts Shona Ramsay's manipulative ex Dane Hibbs.

David (Jack P Shepherd) will unleash his volatile side once again as he fears that Shona is in trouble after her former partner Dane turns nasty with her.

Dramatic new pap pics show David leaping to Shona's defence when Dane tries to blackmail her, before a huge fight erupts.

Thankfully, David manages to fight dangerous Dane off – before leaving with Shona, hinting that the pair could be about to grow close again.

David was contemplating a romance with Shona, until he discovered that she was the mother of his wife Kylie's murderer Clayton.

David was furious to learn that Shona had deliberately kept quiet about her connection with Clayton and cut all ties with her as a result.

However, do these new pictures suggest that he could be about to have a change of heart?

It looks like long-time Coronation Street star Jack P. Shepherd isn't planning to leave the soap anytime soon.

Shepherd — who has played David Platt on the ITV soap for nearly 18 years — has just inked a one-year contract extension to remain on Corrie, according to The Sun.


A spokesperson for the show declined to comment to Digital Spy, stating only that Coronation Street don't comment on its cast members' contractual statuses.

The proposed contract extension will apparently see David Platt sticking around the cobbles at least through the Christmas season in 2018. His most recent deal was signed earlier this year.

As mentioned, Jack P. Shepherd has been a mainstay of Coronation Street since 2000, when he inherited the role of David Platt from Thomas Ormson.

A good chunk of 2017 has seen David adjusting to life as a single father following the tragic stabbing death of his long-time love Kylie Turner (Paula Lane) in a gripping storyline last year.

He told Digital Spy earlier in the year that he was very pleased by the changes that producer Kate Oates had introduced to Coronation Street since taking over early in 2016.

"I think what Kate has done is that she's given more people an opportunity," he explained at the time. "There's a lot more storylines in the mix. Usually there's just three storylines running at any one time – the main one, the middle one and the lower one, but she's included a fourth one.

"So when we go to six episodes per week later this year, we'll be able to manage it because we've got more storylines and a great cast. In previous times it's been the same faces doing storylines, so it's nice to give everyone a turn and I think that's what she's done."
