Coronation Street's Josh Tucker might currently be in prison, but it appears his life is in grave danger, with reports suggesting David Platt's cruel rapist will be stabbed.

According to The Sun, an upcoming storyline will leave Josh's life hanging in the balance after a dramatic riot takes over the prison – but is David, who's also serving time for fraud, be involved in any way?

It's believed David will come face-to-face with the man who brutally drugged and raped him in the scenes, but confrontation soon turns to chaos when Josh is stabbed in the commotion.

Has David snapped under pressure, or is another prisoner to blame? We'll have to wait and see.

Either way, it sounds like something troubling is afoot for David, with actor Jack P Shepherd recently hinting that a return to his character's dark and devious ways could soon be on the cards.

Speaking over the summer, Jack said there was always scope for David to revisit his violent past. "That's the beauty of it with the Platts," he said.

"They can all switch and go a bit psycho one minute, then vulnerable and emotional and funny. It works each way for all the characters."
