Coronation Street boss teases huge second wedding storyline for David and Shona

Shona and David married last year, before she lost her memory

Coronation Street bosses have teased a second wedding for David and Shona.

On Christmas Day Shona was shot and although she initially seemed okay, she went into a coma. When she woke up, she could no longer remember her husband David.

She was sent to a rehabilitation centre in Leeds, but stated she no longer wanted to see David. Later, she asked for a divorce.

However it seems like things will start to get better for the two and it looks like there could be a second wedding on the cards.

David and Shona’s future

Speaking at a virtual press event, Corrie boss Iain McLeod said: “They work best as sparky and funny so there will be comedy but her feelings are absent and there’s no emotional attachment – it will be a bumpy road.

“It’s not love at first sight when she sees him – for his part, David’s challenge is to make her fall back in love with him.

“But she’s also a different proposition too so he also has to fall back in love with her. Nobody has a long term desire to split them up so they will have a happy ending.

“They’re like cheese and crackers – none are good without the other. But it’s a very unique and emotionally complicated story.”

Discussing the idea of another wedding for David and Shona, Iain said: “It’s certainly been discussed – that’s the most poignant thing about it. To Shona the wedding pictures she has been shown are just two strangers dancing in The Bistro.
