Since Josh Tucker arrived on the Street and suggested a charity boxing match in memory of Luke Britton, David has thrown himself into training – and spending time with Josh.
As David becomes more preoccupied with his new friend, Shona starts to feel left out in the cold.
On Friday she’s seriously unimpressed when David leaves her with the kids – again – while he heads out for another training session.
She’s furious when she discovers the training session is followed by a drinking session with Josh in the Rovers – and the feisty brunette struggles to hold her tongue.
Shona later confides in David’s niece, Bethany, that her fella is becoming obsessed with training – and with Josh!
Uh-oh.
The scenes will be uncomfortable watching as most of us know by now that Josh will go on to drug and rape David in the next few weeks.
The controversial was announced late last year and has been met with mixed emotions from viewers.
Some have said they’ll be switching off while the storyline airs and that Corrie has become too dark in recent times.
Other fans have heaped praise on the ITV soap for tackling such a difficult topic.
Corrie bosses have assured audiences that the actual attack will be implied rather than shown, and the story will focus on David’s emotional state following the rape.
Julia Goulding, who plays Shona, recently spoke out about the strain that will be put on Shona and David’s relationship in the aftermath of the attack.
