Coronation Street fans address David Platt’s domestic mess as actor admits ‘doubt’

Since then, David has been trying to find the money so he can buy the house himself, making a deal with Gail to give her time before she looks for another buyer. But in typical Gail fashion, she didn’t listen and David was furious to find a “for sale” panel outside the family home before Carla Connor turned up with Ryan to look at it.

And it looks like David is desperate, as during Monday night’s Corrie (October 21) it was revealed that he was the one who stole Damon Hay’s money, which he offered to his ex Sarah, David’s sister, saying he had some money hidden what he wanted for her. having to help with Bethany’s medical bills.

It was at the end of the last episode that David panicked when he found Lily rummaging through the cupboard under the stairs. He asked her what she was doing, trying to make her leave. It was then that we saw him looking for something, before opening a bag full of money.

With the apparent confirmation that he was behind the robbery that left his sister and niece in danger when one of Harvey Gaskell’s henchmen broke into their flat, Corrie fans couldn’t help but share their confusion over David’s living conditions, because they had the impression that he owed the house.

However, it was in February 2021 that David was first spotted in an attempt to buy back his childhood home after it was snatched up. David got into a furious bidding war alongside neighbor Tracy Barlow to buy Number 8 Coronation Street at auction, and was furious when he lost.

At the time, David, who had been tricked into giving up his house by scheming businessman Ray Crosby, was shocked to discover that the final offer had been made by a mystery buyer. When a light was switched on at David’s house, Tracy and his wife Shona went to investigate hilarious soap opera scenes.

David was surprised to discover that the buyer was none other than his mother, Gail, who had continued to live there since her son became owner in 2013.

Meanwhile, David actor Jack P Shepherd has spoken about how his character will react following his mother’s departure and whether he will become the new head of the family and be the ‘glue’ that holds the Platts together. “No, I highly doubt that!” the soap opera star admitted.

“I don’t think he will become the glue, I think if someone has to be Sarah, it will be the responsibility of the middle child, as is the case in all families. I think Nick will have his own thing, and he’ll come and go as needed. But at the end of the day, he has the bistro. He has a lot of problems with Leanne and Toyah.

“Then he will have his own world to worry about. The problem is that for David there is a lot more going on than his mother meeting a new man and talking about leaving Weatherfield and all of that is about to start to unravel. are about to be tested and it’s clear he has the secret about Damon’s money, so I think he might have a lot on his plate. Sarah is always the one who ends up trying to bring everyone together and imagine that everything will fall on her again.
