In tonightâs episode of Coronation Street (Wednesday, November 12), Shona and David Platt were hit with heartbreaking news about their unborn baby.

Actress Julia Goulding has since hinted that this emotional divide will spark major tension in their relationship.

Shona and Davidâs difficult choice in Coronation Street
Tonightâs special episode of Corrie was definitely a tear-jerker, showing the morning from both of David and Shona Plattâs different perspectives.
Shona was really anxious about their hospital appointment and didnât appreciate David trying to distract her from reality. David was trying to act strong but was crumbling inside at the thought of what they could be told at the hospital.
At the hospital, David and Shona were given difficult news. A mass had been found on their baby, and doctors warned it might be cancerous. Continuing the pregnancy meant Shona would need a complicated and risky operation.
Later at home, Shona kept the mood light around family. She didnât mention the babyâs condition. After everyone left, she told David sheâd made up her mind. She was going ahead with the surgery. There was still hope their daughter could survive and thrive.
David wasnât convinced. He admitted he wasnât sure it was worth risking Shonaâs life. The decision left them divided.

Julia Goulding hints at marriage tensions for David and Shona
With both Shona and David having different views over the idea of surgery, Coronation Street actress Julia Goulding has teased that this will put a huge strain on the coupleâs marriage.
With Shona feeling âisolatedâ in her feelings, Julia explained to the Mirror: âTermination isnât an option for her.
âSheâs just like, âYep, surgery, weâre doing it.â And I think thatâs where a lot of the conflict comes in, because itâs a particular type of operation and itâs incredibly rare, and there is a risk to motherâs life and babyâs life. And thatâs where Davidâs arguments come in, to at least think about the pros and cons of having a termination or having the surgery.â
However, despite this âconflict,â Julia admitted that the special episode highlighted âhow much stronger they are when theyâre together and on the same track.â So hereâs to hoping that the couple can support each through this tough time no matter what they ultimately decide to do.
