Coronation Street’s ‘sad’ show Shona Platt star shows future admission as she is supported after family update

The two are still on the show together but have found themselves in trouble this week when Weatherfield Prison contacted Shona to reveal that Clayton has tried to commit suicide. However, David saw the emails first and decided to delete them to keep Shona in the dark about what was going on.

The character, played by Jack P. Shepherd, was concerned that Shona may have discovered the lyrics in Friday’s episode. However, Shona was shocked when she received the news that there were head lice at Lily’s school.

Although David was relieved after the narrow miss, the storyline will move into the future, as spoilers have revealed that David will visit Clayton in prison in an attempt to draw a line under the case. However, the plan will not work as Shona is told directly by the police that Clayton is in hospital.

Clayton Hibbs is played by Callum Harrison and Julia is happy that her co-star has returned. However, she admitted that the future does not look bright for her character’s marriage.

She said at a Coronation Street press event: ‘Clayton is her son and will always be part of her life. If it creates drama, so much the better, I love it. And it’s also really nice to see Callum when he comes in. Let’s keep the drama going for David and Shona, otherwise it would be very boring, wouldn’t it?’

She added: “The sad thing is they’ve been so solid for so long that Shona is David’s last pillar. But he destroyed it himself in my opinion. I’m really Team Shona on this.”

Off-screen, Julia’s life is thankfully less turbulent as she has been happily married to Ben Silver since 2018. The couple are the proud parents of two children.

She gave birth to her second child, Emmeline, in November when she announced the news with a heartwarming post. The 39-year-old said: “We are absolutely delighted and Franklin is in love with his little sister, Emmeline Beanie Silver. She is perfect.”

Julia shared the inspiration behind her daughter’s name earlier this year when she posed in a photo with the face of women’s rights champion Emmeline Pankhurst. She captioned the post: “We named our daughter after the incredible #EmmelinePankhurst and here she is on a shirt designed by the fantastic @justin_eagleton in support of the 50th anniversary of #manchesterwomensaid.”

Julia was flooded with messages of support after the update. Emmerdale star Michelle Hardwick said: “I love this! We have a picture of her in our kitchen.”

Co-star Sally Ann Matthews shared a series of heart emojis after the update. A follower called Yvonne posted: “What a beautiful name.”

In Julia’s latest social media update, she dazzled on the red carpet at the TRIC awards last summer. She was flooded with messages of praise after being photographed from the event.

Tina O’Brien said: “Absolutely beautiful.” Sair Khan added: “Beautiful.” Sally Carman posted: “Good fit” Former Corrie star Catherine Tyldesley replied: “Absolutely beautiful.” Julia shot back, “Thank you my love.”

Julia is very close to her Corrie co-stars and was inundated with heartfelt messages as she celebrated her 39th birthday this year. Cait Fitton led the tributes during her short time away from the show, saying: “Happy birthday to this beautiful lady. I miss you and love you very much.”

Sally Ann Matthews, who plays Jenny Bradley, added: “Happiest birthday to this absolute queen. I love you.” Georgia Taylor, who plays Toyah Habeeb, wrote: “Congratulations on being our honorary Battersby.”
