View Full Version : Shona (Julia Goulding)
Coronation Street: new romance for David?
Newcomer Shona makes a play for David - but is all what it seems?
David Platt looks set to catch the eye of a new character by the name of Shona in an upcoming episode of Coronation Street - but viewers can expect events to take a surprising twist.
Scenes to be shown on Friday 16 December see a reluctant David - who lost his wife Kylie in a fatal stabbing earlier this year - railroaded by Sarah into joining Chesney, Sinead, Billy and Todd for a night on the town.
And it's while they're all out in a club that David attracts the attention of Shona, played by actress Julia Goulding.
While Billy, Todd, Sinead and Chesney hit the dance floor, David remains at the bar, only for Shona to park herself next to him. The newcomer tries to chat him up, but David remains unresponsive.
However, Corrie fans can expect things to go from bad to worse for David when he makes a shocking discovery. Show bosses are remaining tight-lipped about what it is that David finds out, but is Shona connected to the surprising events that unfold?

Alot will say it's too soon but come on it's been almost 6 months

I think everybody grieves in their own time, because they get involved with somebody else does not mean they did not love their deceased partner but maybe need a bit of intimacy to help them cope. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion.

exactly. I just know people, especially on facebook and twitter will be going on about how it's too soon for him, which i think is unfair.
It feels too soon because it was only a few weeks ago that David tried to commit murder/suicide because he was overwhelmed with grief!
If he'd been trying to get on with life for most of the six months it would be a different matter. As it is I can't see that David would realistically be interested in anyone else for a good while yet (except perhaps a meaningless one night stand).

Maybe she is related to clayton in some way

That is what I meant .. can´t see him having genuine romantic feelings for somebody else for quite a while apart from a moment of intimacy for comfort. Although in soapland new deep relationships are formed rather sooner than later as a rule

I think the actress is very good but I find it irritating that she's so obviously David's new love interest. She even has a vague resemblance to Kylie and sports the same quiff! Corrie just can't do subtlety any more. :wall:

I don't think she suits David, she looks older than him too
Does Billy live now at Eileen's house, I think Todd was right about Billy inviting her to stay without asking Eileen, disrespecting Eileen

Yes, he does and I would have been furious too at Billy for inviting Shona to stay without even first asking Todd or even more Eileen, it is her house :angry:

Think there was something but now he's trying to replace her with Bethany - he's definitely grooming her for something.

Coronation Street reveals a secret link between Shona Ramsey and Kylie Platt
But what could it be?
Coronation Street just revealed something very surprising about newcomer Shona Ramsey - she shares a top-secret link to the late Kylie Platt.
Friday's Corrie double bill delved deeper into Shona's character, as she was left panicking when Kylie's old friend Gemma Winter (Dolly-Rose Campbell) recognised her from dodgy pub The Dog and Gun.
The Dog and Gun is an old haunt of both Gemma and Kylie's, but Shona (Julia Goulding) didn't react well to being linked to it and hastily denied everything.
After taking some time to calm down, shifty Shona later confirmed to Gemma that they have met before, but she insisted that it was actually at a mutual friend's party.
Gemma appeared to accept the dubious explanation and it seemed that her curiosity had been settled, but Corrie viewers soon learned that there was much more to the story.
After completing her shift at the café, Shona headed to Kylie's grave after dark and was visibly upset as she fought back the tears.
It's clear now that Shona has been keeping quiet about an unknown connection to Kylie, but what is it? And how could this affect her potential friendship with Kylie's husband David?
We spoke to Jack P Shepherd, who plays David, last month and asked him about the fan theories suggesting his character could end up with Shona.
Quizzed on whether viewers were on the right track, Jack replied: "Yeah possibly, they could be. Or it could be somebody else. Or it could be no-one! I think that's the thing with Corrie. Nothing ever surprises me anymore when it comes to who you get put with."
He added: "Any time I have mentioned a new love interest for David in an interview, the journalist has always turned around and said: 'No, he has to be depressed forever!'
"But that's the thing with soap - it moves on quickly. In real life you probably wouldn't get with somebody else too soon. But there are people who go out and find someone, just so they can feel some love because they're missing that. It's not unusual. But we will see - there's nothing coming up as of yet anyway. There's nothing that I've read in scripts."
Coronation Street spoilers: Who is Shona’s secret child?
She arrived in Coronation Street with an air of mystery and, since then, we have still not learned a great deal about secretive Shona – but that’s all set to change. So far, we have established that she was involved somehow with sinister Nathan and that she somehow knows the late Kylie Platt.
Now it seems like she has been a mother at some point as she secretly gazed at a photo of a young child while in the cafe. Gail Rodwell had accused Shona of stealing her purse so Shona was forced to empty her handbag. But before she did, she quickly swiped out her crumpled photograph, only looking at it when everyone had gone.
But who is the child in the photograph? Is it a child that Shona tragically lost? Is it a a child she gave up for adoption? Might they be someone on the Street and could there be a connection between the child and Kylie?
There are a lot of questions still to answer but it’s clear that viewers might be in for a shock down the line as more emerges about Shona.
And when she gets closer to Gail and the Platts, might they be the ones to discover the truth?

Coronation Street has revealed Shona Ramsey's dark secret – she's the mum of killer Clayton Hibbs!
The show had led us to believe that there was a secret link between Shona and the late Kylie Platt, but in fact her connection is with the young man who stabbed Kylie to death on the cobbles last year.
Digital Spy recently caught up with Julia Goulding, who plays Shona, for some instant reactions to the big reveal.
Have you had to create your own backstory for Shona and Clayton's relationship?
"Yes, they give you a character breakdown at the auditions, so from that you take certain aspects of the personality and join it with your own thoughts. I took myself away and thought about how hard it is to actually be separated from your own child and how would that then affect Shona with the rest of the people that she meets."
How come Shona hasn't been involved much in Clayton's life?
"They were on the Dog & Gun estate and Shona raised him until he was about 10, with absolutely no contact with his dad. She kept this tiny little world for just those two, where they were safe. But then the father got in touch and Clayton wanted to know more about his dad, which Shona absolutely did not want to happen.
"In a sense, that pushed him towards his dad even more. He was a very bad influence on him, and then Clayton and Shona ended up arguing a lot, so he just left and went and lived with his dad. That developed his character from a sweet young boy into someone who killed someone when he was 16."

How does Shona feel knowing she's in the same area as the Platts? Is she carrying a lot of guilt?
"Yeah, absolutely, but it was all kind of by accident. Obviously on Christmas Day, Billy took her in and when she realised where she was, she'd kind of already settled and had a home there. She's never really had a community like that, so it was just bad luck.
"Then obviously Shona didn't realise that she'd be having so much contact with the Platts, so she's torn. She's considered doing maybe the right thing and leaving and not being around them, but also she's really happy in the life that she's now created, especially after going through the trauma of Clayton being put inside and knowing her son's a murderer."
What is Shona's relationship with Clayton like now?
"I think he resents her a lot, but I think a lot of it is bravado because he doesn't want to show a softer side. She has seen him in prison but she's not been back."
How old was Shona when she had Clayton?
"She was 13, so she's 29 now. But it is quite scary, because the lad who plays Clayton is 18 and I'm 32, so I actually could be his mother, which is the scary thing!"
Shona and David have formed a bond, so what impact would it have if David found out?
"Knowing David, he's not one to take things lightly anyway, so I imagine if he did find out, it would be quite explosive!"
Are Shona and David going to get together?
"Well this is it, isn't it? At the moment we don't know, but imagine how complicated that relationship would be!"
Have you seen all the theories online about who Shona could be?
"Yeah, I've seen quite a few. I think my favourite one was that I'm Kylie's mum, when I'm pretty sure Paula Lane and I are the same age! I think a lot of people thought I was connected to Callum in some way. Because Shona visited Kylie's grave, people were convinced that I knew her, but obviously the connection is that I know her killer.
"So in a really nice way, that threw people off the scent a bit. That's been enjoyable because it means more theories have come up and it's been really bubbling and people have been thinking about it."
Has it been difficult to keep that secret?
"So, so hard! I've not told anybody. Even when I got the job, obviously I was working here for a couple of months before I was actually on screen and that was difficult, because I was living in London and I basically moved up to Manchester on the sly. So it's been really difficult, but I'm really excited about it being revealed finally."
Do you think viewers will still like Shona?
"I'm hoping that they've got to know her enough to hold onto that, because she is a good egg. Underneath it all, she's a survivor and she's somebody that makes the decisions based on self-preservation, so I hope they've seen a good heart as well underneath it all.
"Also, she didn't kill Kylie. I know she's lied and stuff, but it's for the right reasons in her head."

Corrie loves those sorts of characters. Are you hopeful that she'll last?
"I'm very hopeful. It's my dream job this, it's absolutely my dream job."
What other jobs have you had?
"It's funny, since I graduated from drama school five years ago, I've mainly done Shakespeare plays and lots of voiceovers, so this is my first television job as well. It's amazing for it to be Coronation Street, that I've watched since I was born. I had my fifth birthday at the Granada Studios Tour, because I wanted to be on that street, so it's wonderful."
Where are you from?
"I'm from Middleton, North Manchester, but I've been in London for 8 years. It's nice to come home and be around my family again. There couldn't have been a better reason for me to come back as well."
Do you feel pressure because Shona has been compared to Kylie?
"At first I was worried about that, but they're completely different characters. I know that they've had children young and come from the same sort of place, but I think Shona has an optimism about her character that Kylie didn't and I don't think she's as brash. Paula's such a fantastic actor as well, so I feel that I'm not following in her footsteps but walking next to them in a way."
We know that Shona has a burn on her shoulder. Is that tied to her relationship with Nathan?
"Yes it is. Nathan and Shona used to go out and obviously we've seen what he's doing with Bethany at the moment. Because Shona's a bit older, he tried basically to do that with Shona and she was just like: 'No way, there's no way this is happening'. Hence she found herself homeless on Christmas Day.
"So when Nathan came to the street, it was to follow Shona to try and get her back, but then he found Bethany, which was awful. So she's got cigarette burns on her shoulder that he inflicted. Shona has no idea that Bethany's Nathan is the Nathan she used to go out with."
Could Shona be redeemed in the eyes of the Platts if she saved Bethany from Nathan?
"Possibly, it would be a good way to get back in the good books, but who knows? It could also go the other way because she could be blamed for bringing Nathan to the street."
As this is your first TV role, how have you found it adapting?
"It's been wonderful, even my first day. I've made sure that everybody has known that it's my first job, and everyone's just been so helpful. I don't feel shy to ask questions, you know like 'Oh what does this mean?', you know when they use certain phrases and things.
"I've done short films and things but it's such a different pace here. I've just been asking questions because there are no stupid questions. Even if it's the most simple, it's best to ask and then you learn, don't you?"
On your audition, did you have any of the cast read with you?
"Yes, I read with Jack. I'd never had an audition for Corrie before. I used to speak to my agent and say 'Anything, a nurse doing a sonogram, anything' and then when this came through, I got the message that it was a new regular and I was just like, 'This is it'. I just put my heart and soul and everything into it. I really, really wanted the job."
Were you nervous?
"It's weird, I was on the first audition and then when you do screen tests on set that's odd, because obviously it looks completely different than it does on screen. But no, I think I was just so determined. I had a healthy amount of nerves but not too bad."
Is Shona ultimately going to get with someone on the street?
"Well, I'd like her not to be single. It would be nice for her to explore a relationship, especially because her past relationships haven't been that great. So it would be nice for her to be happy and find love."
How long are you in the show for?
"I'm optioned. I'm here until October for definite, I've signed a contract for that and then I'm optioned maybe, so we'll see. Hopefully, if the audience like the character enough and obviously if they like my work enough, fingers crossed it'll be for longer."
Do you feel like fate has brought you here?
"Yeah, it is nice actually, even as simple as being closer to my parents and things at this age. I don't know if I believe in fate, but it has come at a really, really nice time for me."

Could see Pat figuring it out and blackmailing Shona, forcing her to revert to stealing. His comeuppance shouldn't be too far away though.
Can see David eventually falling for Shona, Shona trying to fight it and Gail taking some of the flack for keeping quiet about it. Shona must have been made the same age as Kylie and similar to her in some respects for a reason.
I had thought she'd be Kylie's half sister on her father's side, but in hindsight there'd have been no story then. Moving on to a partner or spouse's sibling seems commonplace in soapland. She was never going to be Kylie's mother - she's dead and Becky went to the funeral, aside from the age thing.

Coronation Street’s Shona Ramsey’s shocking connection to evil Nathan Curtis revealed
Shona Ramsey has a shocking connection to evil Nathan Curis on Coronation Street.
Actress Julia Goulding – who made her cobbles debut over Christmas as the brash cafe worker – has revealed Shona was Nathan’s last victim and only found Bethany Platt because he was trying to track her down.
Shona was wandering the cobbles alone after Nathan attacked her at Christmas and luckily found herself taken in by Vicar Billy and embraced by the street.
However, her dark secret is set to either be the making or breaking of her, when it emerges that her abusive ex is actually Bethany Platt’s grooming boyfriend.
Actress Julia told The Sun Online: “Nathan and Shona used to go out and obviously we’ve seen what he’s doing with Bethany at the moment and because Shona’s a bit older, he tried to do it to Shona but she said, ‘No way’.
“Hence why she ended up homeless on Christmas Day because he’d kicked her out.
"So when Nathan came to the street it was to follow Shona, to try and get her back,, and then he found Bethany which is awful.
"She's got cigarette burns on her shoulder that he inflicted on her.
"She has no idea that Bethany's Nathan is the Nathan she used to go out with."
The secret comes as Shona was revealed as the mother of Kylie Platt's killer, Clayton Hibbs.
Nathan has been targeting Bethany to pimp her out to his sick gang of perverts.
The schoolgirl has been slowly groomed by Nathan as he separates her from her friends and family to stop her from escaping his clutches.
It was recently revealed that Bethany would even agree to marry Nathan as his manipulation continues.
Coronation Street is lining up a grisly twist for Shona Ramsey as she is subjected to a brutal attack in an alleyway.
The ITV soap recently unveiled Shona's big secret as she was revealed to be the mum of Kylie Platt's killer Clayton Hibbs.
It had been hinted that there was a secret link between Shona and David's late wife Kylie, but her shock connection with murderous thug Clayton wasn't exposed until last week.
Unfortunately, it looks like Shona's story will take an even darker turn in upcoming scenes as new pictures see her suffering a terrible beating. Shona can be seen bruised and bleeding in these images after she is kicked in the face by two thugs, before being left for dead.

Of course, it's not just Kylie who Shona shares a connection with – she also has a concerning romantic history with Bethany Platt's groomer Nathan Curtis.
Nathan was actually following Shona to the Cobbles when he stumbled across a vulnerable Bethany on Christmas Day, but Shona is currently unaware that he's the older man who the schoolgirl is dating.
It's surely only a matter of time before Shona discovers where Nathan is now directing his attention, but she's bound to find herself in danger if she tries to come between his plans for Bethany. Could he be behind this awful attack?
But Nathan isn't the only person who Shona needs to worry about, given that we all know what her dangerous son is capable of.

Shona Ramsey is attacked in Coronation Street

Clayton might be serving time in prison for killing Kylie, but it's clear there is no love lost between him and his mum – so it's possible that he could organised an attack on her from behind his prison cell.
And let's not forget that Shona recently found herself in a pickle with another killer too – Pat Phelan.
The evil builder is aware of Shona's connection to Clayton – given that he was also in the visiting room at the same time as her – and we all know that Phelan is the last person you'd want to uncover your darkest secret. So, is Shona about to learn that the hard way?
Fans will have to keep tuned over the next few weeks as the storyline continues to play out. But the big question is, will Shona be alright after the awful attack?

Yes, she was. Clayton's father is called Dane Hibbs. Only Dane was mentioned in the episode but he must be a Hibbs as that's Clayton and Macca's surname.
i wonder will we see dane he must be old as macca is old
i wonder will we see dane he must be old as macca is old
Macca probably wouldn't look as old if it wasn't for the beard and moustache. The character could be around Kylie's age (30 this year.) If his father had him as young as Shona did Clayton then he could be around about his early 40's.
He's guilty of statutory rape, we know that.
Somehow Clayton had something to do with Macca while he had nothing to do with their father (as Kylie knew him pre Weatherfield and Clayton was with Shona until he was 10 in 2011 or late 2010.) Perhaps Shona originally knew Macca (remember Gemma vaguely knew her) and she got mixed up with Dane in a Dirty Den/Michelle scenario.

I'd assume Eileen would not be in any hurry to take the keys back, being of the opinion that Shona could use an escape route living with the Platts.
I need to watch it more closely I think, as I couldn't work out whether Eileen seemed surprised to see her there or just concerned.
Since she was telling David and Max that she should be getting back, she must be back there for now.

Coronation Street's Shona Ramsay decides to take action next week as she grows increasingly jealous of David's friendship with Maria.
Shona's relationship with David might be going from strength to strength, but she can't help feeling unnerved by the presence of Maria, who is one of his closest friends.
Unable to keep quiet any longer, upcoming scenes will see Shona admit to David that she's jealous – before taking matters into her own hands.
Having been honest with David (Jack P Shepherd), Shona makes another brave move by signing up to the boxing match that newcomer Josh is organising in Luke Britton's memory.
However, Shona does have an ulterior motive for wanting to take part as she only signs up after learning that Maria is competing as well.
Unfortunately, Shona's competitive antics could have potentially worrying repercussions when David decides to take part too – despite his history of epilepsy.
After learning of David's intentions, Shona is angry with him for risking his health – but it looks like his mind is made up as the boxing plans get underway later in the week.
Tyrone, Shona, David, Maria, Gemma, Jude, Angie and Sophie all meet with Josh to find out who they will be fighting in the boxing match. Could Maria and Shona go head to head?
Discussing a potential love triangle for the trio last year, Julia Goulding – who plays Shona – said to Inside Soap: "I actually really love the friendship that Maria and David have, and I think it's quite a rare thing in soap for a man and woman to actually be friends and remain friends.
"But you never know, we'll see. Maria has a bit of a reputation for stealing boyfriends, hasn't she? And if it means working with Samia more, then I say bring it on – because she's wonderful."
Coronation Street is lining up another twist in the ongoing David Platt male rape storyline as David's girlfriend Shona Ramsey meets another victim of Josh Tucker's.
In these brand-new spoiler pictures – taken by paparazzi photographers on location – Shona (Julia Goulding) starts digging into Josh Tucker's past, and finds a former friend of the newcomer who has also been raped by him.
Recent episodes of the soap have see David's (Jack P Shepherd) relationship with Shona come under strain as he struggles to confide in his girlfriend after the trauma of being raped by Josh.
Fans of the soap will know that the strain gets to be too much for the couple and they ultimately break up, while David's behaviour continues to cause his family and friends concern.
Eventually, Shona does some digging into Josh's past after realising that David's out-of-character actions can be traced back to Josh arriving in David's life and meets someone who's also been a victim of Josh Tucker's in the past.
Going by the filming pictures, it doesn't look like Josh's other victim is too interested in talking to Shona, but is it enough for Shona to learn the truth about what's happened to David? And does that mean the two of them can be convinced to speak out against Josh for a chance at justice?
The storyline has already begun exploring the impact the attack has had on David's mental health, but it looks like the dark plot still has a long way to go before David can come to terms with what happened.
Josh Tucker visits David Platt again in Coronation Street
As well as having a one-night stand with newcomer Emma in the coming weeks, it's also been reported that David will carry out a violent attack on Gary Windass in a few weeks' time, with the soap also setting up a court drama for David too, although we don't know just yet what brings David to court in the first place.

They seem to be addressing this storyline properly, thank goodness, and not going for easy answers (yet). Hopefully we will see more of Martin as he might be the very person who David will confide in.
good ole roy taking in another stray
He must feel like he's running a home for troubled women...

I love Shona as a character and the actress does a great job. I hope she will get recognition for it and I think she will play a big part in the reveal of Josh's true nature. She is nobody's fool and I have read that she tracks down Josh's old employee and finds out that he was raped by him. I think once she finds this out she will be able to piece it together.
adam or imran next for her to bed hop to
I really like Shona as well she’s one of my favourite characters I hope the don’t ruin her
Looks like she's moving in with Billy and Summer next week - more random non-related characters living together...

Goulding previously hinted that she'd be sticking with the soap following an apparent exodus of cast members, saying: "We recently celebrated 40 years of Audrey and Sue Nicholls who plays her — how amazing is that! I'd love to be here for 40 years."
In recent months, it's been confirmed that several cast members are leaving Coronation Street, including veterans Faye Brookes and Katie McGlynn, who play Kate Connor and Sinead Tinker on the soap respectively.
Lucy Fallon, who plays Bethany Platt, is also set to leave the show, along with Kym Marsh and Tristan Gemmill.
Back in May, Goulding announced that she was expecting her first child with husband Ben Silver.
"Ben and I are delighted to announce that we are expecting our first baby at the end of this year!" she wrote on Instagram. "We are absolutely overjoyed and can't wait to meet our little one! #newarrival #babysilver."

I wonder what her exit will be, can she leave with David still in prison? With Gail gone, who will look after the kids, Nick?

Coronation Street spoilers: Killer Clayton Hibbs returns along with mum Shona Ramsey
Coronation Street stars Julia Goulding and Callum Harrison have returned to filming as Shona Ramsey and her killer son Clayton Hibbs for brand new scenes which will air next month – and new mum Julia brought a very special guest on location with her.
Clayton is currently in prison and David Platt (Jack P Shepherd) is set to be left crushed when he learns that Shona is back in touch with her incarcerated son – despite her telling David that she doesn’t want to see him again.
Following her injuries during the Christmas Day shooting, Shona has lost a lot of her memories and can’t even recall who her husband is and she has driven him to the edge with the revelation that she doesn’t want him to be a part of her life as she continues to recover.
But pics of the cast arriving to film new scenes confirm that Clayton has managed to wangle his way back into his mum’s life, despite him taking her hostage not long ago and leading to her having to stab him to escape.
It remains to be seen whether there is any hope for David but he is also set to hit difficult times when he comes up against a gang of armed youths and ends up fleeing for his life as they give chase.
Wrapped up warm, Julia brought a very cosy looking baby Franklin Wolf on set with her – we bet the cast and crew struggled to get work done as they fought to spend time with the adorable tot.
After Franklin Wolf was born in November, Julia gushed on Instagram: ‘Franklin Wolf Silver born on 30/11/19. He’s changed our lives for the better in every way. I feel like I’ve known him my whole life.’
Julia’s return scenes will air this spring.
Coronation Street star Julia Goulding has teased a surprise ending to Shona Ramsey and David Platt's emotional storyline.
Shona is set to make a devastating return to the ITV soap as she suffers from memory loss after being shot on Christmas Day.
But while she'll initially have no idea who her husband is, Julia has teased that there may still be a happy conclusion for her character and David.
Speaking to Digital Spy and other media in a Zoom Q&A, Julia opened up about the possibility of the couple reuniting.
"It will be interesting," she said. "They're starting from scratch and he has an uphill struggle as she is really stepping back from him. I think it will require a lot of teamwork from them.
"I think it would be lovely to see them fall back in love starting from a very plain ground. I'm looking forward to it, it's quite nice."
On whether there could be another wedding, she said: "That would be great – the last wedding was interesting to say the least. Seeing David in a suit and tie and not at the bistro, who knows.
"It's nice to know there will be challenging times for them – they work best together when they have something to overcome. But to have a warm fuzzy feeling of a happy ending is nice."
But what does she think about the possibility of there not being a happy ending?
"That would be interesting," she said. "There's a chance he might not fall back with him though or he might not fall in love with the new Shona. It would be sad to see them parted."

found Shona's return boring, in fact the whole plot with David, Shona, dull as dishwater
it has been leaked there is a second wedding coming up for them
she is rude with her memory loss

That is quite common, I believe ... and I suspect they want to show a totally different Shona to the nice, pleasant, funny Shona we knew before

Pregnant Coronation Street star Julia Goulding cradles baby bump at The British Soap Awards 2022
Coronation Street star Julia Goulding has been pictured looking glowing on the red carpet of the British Soap Awards.
The actress, best known for playing Shona Ramsay in the show, cradled a pregnancy bump as she smiled for cameras.
Julia is already mum to Franklin Wolf, who was born in November 2019.
At the time, Julia revealed she and husband Ben Silver told fans that Franklin had ?changed their lives forever?.
Sharing a picture of herself and Ben taking a walk, Julia revealed she?d actually been in the early stages of labour when the snap was taken and little Franklin arrived a day later.
This is the first time that Julia has publicly addressed her pregnancy as she posed on the red carpet.
Along with her colleagues from the show, Julia is at the awards in the hope that the show will continue its winning streak.
Speaking on the red carpet, where Metro.co.uk are chatting to the stars, the actress beamed that she is ?so excited.?
Julia joined the soap in 2016 and quickly became a fan favourite, winning Best Newcomer at the Inside Soap Awards in 2017.
Her character has been central to soap huge storylines, introduced as the mum of Kylie?s killer Clayton.
Despite this, Shona and David have fallen in love and remain one of the show?s prominent and most loved couples.
Not seen any signs that she is pregnant .. wonder how she will be written out for her maternity leave .. :hmm:
duvet months not day or week
?Shona?s gone to look after Lily in London. She?s on some footballing course that James Bailey?s organised. He?s teaching her football and Shona?s looking after her down there, like a chaperone for six week?s while Julia?s on maternity leave.
From Jack ( David )
Coronation Street's Shona Platt left devastated in return storyline
Coronation Street's Shona Platt faces a nasty shock next week as she returns to Weatherfield following her time away.
Shona's marriage to David will hit the rocks as she uncovers a surprising betrayal just hours after arriving back home.
Over the past few weeks, Shona has been supporting her step-daughter Lily by accompanying her on a six-week football training course.
This means that Shona hasn't been around for the fallout from her step-son Max Turner's involvement in Griff Reynolds' extremist gang.
Next week, Max's dad David discovers that the teenager has been attacked by bullies at the secure training centre, shortly after receiving a six-month sentence.
David struggles to cope with the news and tries to distract himself by getting drunk at Victoria Garden.
Maria Connor is sympathetic towards David and heads over to see him. When David leans in for a drunken kiss, Maria is disgusted and orders him to go home.
Shortly afterwards, Shona returns to Weatherfield and promises David that they'll face everything together from now on.
Unfortunately, when Maria tells her husband Gary Windass about David's earlier actions, it doesn't take long before word gets back to Shona.
David defends himself by telling Gary that he was drunk and already deeply regrets what happened.
These excuses clearly won't work on Shona, who tells David that she's leaving him.
Later in the week, David glumly tells his mum Gail that his marriage seems to be over.
However, Maria soon intervenes by assuring Shona that David's drunken betrayal didn't mean anything. Will Shona agree to give David another chance?
In real life, Julia Goulding ? who plays Shona ? welcomed the arrival of her second child with husband Ben Silver in November last year. Julia confirmed on Instagram that she had given birth to a baby girl, who the couple have named Emmeline Beanie Silver.
