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.:cheer:
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."

That's excellent news as Jack Shepherd is one of the real stars of Corrie.Quote:

Because for some reason, production like her and on social media she is popular too and apparently liked for her acting ... guess her writing a column in a magazine keeps her pushing herself into the forefront too ...hopefully after the cancer storyline with Robert things will quieten down for her again .. please.....Quote:

That is the only time I could admire her .. but especially since then she seems to have taken on the role of the crying, wailing hard done by female ... which a lot of the time is down to her own doing ...and done badly and over-acted :wall:Quote:

The sneaky shots show David looking serious as he watches a property from afar in his car, before eventually approaching the front door.
It's not entirely clear who David is keeping watch on, but the latest story twist comes after he entered into an official relationship with Shona Ramsay – despite the small matter of her being the mother of the teenage thug who killed his wife Kylie.
Corrie's explosive autumn trailer recently teased that David's latest romance could land him in big trouble when Shona's manipulative ex Dane Hibbs arrives back on the scene after learning about her scratchcard win.

Shona has secretly put her £6,000 winnings into a savings account for her killer son Clayton after his prison release – but a dangerous Dane will take shock action in a bid to get his hands on the money.
The recent promo showed Dane driving off in a car with David's young children Max and Lily – but is Dane the person David is tracking down in these pictures? Or could there be another twist we don't know about yet?

david is next for conflict with phelan
Think the whole street will be in conflict with him before his storyline comes to an end .. it must do soon ...Quote:

If Andy gets to make contact with some residents, David would probably be top of his list if he wants to bring Phelan down. He cares about Michael because of Gail (and maybe also because Kylie brought him back into their lives) and isn't averse to the odd revenge plot.
David goes to follow Gary and Nicola whom Pat Phelan is also following
Anyone else see the rumours of David cheating on Shona with Maria?
ffs another cheating storyline, no doubt Maria will fall pregnant as nobody has ever heard of contraception in soapland :wall:Quote:

Corrie favourite David Platt will find himself the victim of the serious sexual assault
Coronation Street favourite David Platt will become the victim of a serious sexual assault in shocking scenes to be screen next year.
For the first time in its 57-year history the soap will tackle the sensitive subject of male rape after David is attacked.
Weatherfield favourite David, played by Jack P Shepherd, gets drunk on a night out with a new arrival called Josh and wakes the next morning to realise he's been drugged and assaulted.
Widower David will be left feeling shame and disgust over what has happened to him and deciding whether or not to report the crime.
An insider revealed: “There won’t be any sexually explicit scenes, what has happened to David will be implied by his reaction and behaviour when he wakes up the next day and starts to remember some of what happened.
“With Josh still on the street, David struggles to deal with the shame of what has happened to him. This is a big storyline for Jack and everyone is determined to get it right.”
Show bosses are working closely with local charity Survivors Manchester on the harrowing storyline involving dad of two David, whose wife Kylie was stabbed to death on the cobbles last summer.
An estimated 12,000 men are raped in the UK every year, and more than 70,000 are sexually abused or assaulted.
The dark storyline is set to cause upset for fans who have been complaining recently that the show needs to bring back the laughs and contain less doom and gloom.
Lily Gargan tweeted: "So much doom and gloom lately, families falling out, people looking for places to live. There was a time when Coronation Street gave me such a good laugh.”
Donna Inacio said: "Corrie is losing the one thing that made it everyone’s favourite soap... comedy!!!!"
And lifelong Corrie fan Sir Michael Parkinson who last month moaned that Corrie had become “more horror than soap”.
Personal trainer and mechanic Josh, who will be played by an unknown actor, arrives on the cobbles in January.
Channel 4’s Hollyoaks explored the issue of male rape in 2000 when Luke Morgan was brutally attacked by Mark Gibbs at the end of a long-running bullying campaign, and again in 2015 when John Paul McQueen was attacked by student Finn O'Connor.
Executive producer Bryan Kirkwood said he’d tried to do it while boss of EastEnders between 2010 and 2012 but had been told “in no uncertain terms” that it wasn’t suitable.
Claiming that the Hollyoaks plot was the proudest moment of his career, he said: “Rape of female characters has become a staple over the years yet male rape or the sexual abuse of men isn’t a conversation we have, ever.”
It happens and never gets covered much the same as domestic violence on males. So good plus the actor is fantastic so he will cover it well. This must be the story Kate was scared to do.
Honestly I can’t help feel that she’s doing all these serious storylines because she wants the show to win awards. But yes male rape is a topic that needs the be talked about and jack p shepherd will nail it no doubt
I agree but so many viewers were turned off by the Bethany and Nathan storyline, I think this one will have the same affect :(Quote:

Totally agree with you Tamyy2j, Jack is good, and not keen on him with Shona, he needs a complete change of type of Girlfriend, someone who can love and dish it out the firm hand when
David is naughty, got to change me thinks
Note: The following article contains discussion of sexual assault that some readers may find upsetting.
Coronation Street star Julia Goulding has spoken out about how the soap will approach the topic of male rape in an upcoming storyline.
News recently broke that soap bosses have cast newcomer Ryan Clayton as Josh Tucker for an upcoming storyline that will centre on the aftermath of Josh drugging and raping David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd).
At the National Television Awards on Tuesday (January 23), Julia Goulding — who plays Shona Ramsey — chatted to Digital Spy about why it's "important" for Corrie to address a loaded topic like male rape.
"I think it's important to keep challenging the way people perceive the show," she said. "If you keep the storylines light all the time, it would get boring, so it's good to mix it up.
"I have total faith in [producer] Kate [Oates], the production and the writers that they know what they're doing with this. But I don't think it's going to be dark forever."
As for how Jack P. Shepherd is approaching this turning point for his character David, Julia assured us: "He's such a professional, he just takes everything in his stride.

"Obviousl
y Coronation Street have done a lot of research with Jack and with people who have been raped. I think he's going to do it absolute justice and he's a fantastic actor."
Julia said she thinks that her own character Shona will also eventually enter into the aftermath of this traumatic event for David, as he tries to rebuild his life.
"At the moment, we're not sure exactly what road they're going to go down with it, but I think it's a really important issue to address and I think Jack's going to be absolutely amazing," she predicted. "I've got a good feeling about it."

I would have thought that Julia Goulding has been there long enough to have had this touching faith knocked out of her.Quote:

Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd has spoken about David Platt's male rape storyline for the first time.
The ITV soap airs one of its darkest ever plots next week as David is sexually assaulted by his boxing coach Josh Tucker (Ryan Clayton) after a night out.
Soap fans have known about the story since late last year, but the full details have been announced today (March 6) ahead of broadcast next week.
In Coronation Street's double bill on Friday, March 16, Josh spikes David's drink while on a night out and later takes him back to his flat.
David wakes up the next morning in Josh's bed and although the mechanic has already left, a traumatised David starts to remember what happened to him the night before.
Struggling to come to terms with what's happened, David then wrestles with a difficult decision over whether to report the crime to the police or not.
He also keeps his ordeal secret from his family and friends, who grow increasingly worried when they notice him acting strangely in the weeks that follow.
Corrie producer Kate Oates and her team have worked on the storyline with help from local charity Survivors Manchester and its founder Duncan Craig, who also previously consulted on male rape storylines in Channel 4's Hollyoaks.
Speaking about the storyline, Jack explained: "David thinks he has made a new friend in Josh. He hasn't really ever had a male friend and no male role models, because his dad is not around and Nick has moved away.
"He's been trying to impress Josh with his training for the fight and he is enjoying his company. He has no reason to think Josh is anything other than a mate.
"When I was told about the storyline, Kate Oates and I met with Duncan from Survivors Manchester and that was when I realised the gravity and significance of the storyline. David's reaction and decision to remain quiet because he feels ashamed about what has happened is not uncommon.
"Hopefully people will start talking about the storyline and it could help someone who has gone through something similar to realise the need to open up and speak to somebody."
Kate Oates added: "We decided to cover the topic of male rape to help try and highlight the culture of silence that surrounds male sexual assault, and issues surrounding male mental health in general.
"Survivors Manchester have been so generous with their time and knowledge, working with Jack, Ryan and the team, and I'm in awe of the work they do.
"Over the next few weeks of Corrie, our message is to talk: it's hard to speak out, but if you're suffering in silence, there are people out there willing to listen and support you."
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Friday, March 16 at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
Survivors Manchester is available to support adult male survivors of sexual abuse and rape. Its website can be found at www.survivorsmanchester.org.uk and its helpline is 0161 236 2182. Local support agencies for all male and female survivors can be found at www.thesurvivorstrust.org. In an emergency, please dial 999.
