Coronation Street Sets Special Episode as Shona and David Confront Baby Tumour Fears

ITV will use a split-viewpoint format to follow each parent’s separate journey to a hospital consultation after a troubling scan.

Overview

  • A consultant tells the couple that the mass on their unborn daughter’s neck is a tumour that could be cancerous, and that continuing the pregnancy may require complex surgery.
  • Julia Goulding says filming the storyline was “crushing” and explains that Shona does not consider termination and opts to proceed with surgery despite the risks.
  • Ahead of the scan, David is arrested after a clash with DC Kit Green, causing a delay before Kit ultimately drives him to the hospital.
  • The special episode, airing next week on ITV1 and ITVX, retells the same day from Shona’s and David’s perspectives to show their contrasting coping styles.
  • Elsewhere, Carla challenges Becky’s claims about being targeted, Fiz has a breakdown at the factory, Will hides the truth about a supposed Leeds trip, and Brody lashes out at his foster parents.
