Coronation Street: Clayton Hibbs is back

Recently on the cobbles, David removed all traces of Clayton contacting Shona. He hid letters from his prison and also deleted emails too.

Yesterday, he decided to visit Clayton to see what he wanted. It brought back so many bad memories of Kylie’s death to the surface.

After his meeting with Clayton, David went home and failed to tell Shona about it. Nick had encouraged David to be honest with her though, as at the end of the day, Clayton is her son.

David was taken aback though when Shona suggested trying for a baby, agreeing and continuing to keep the Clayton news a secret from her.

Another person shared: “One moment, Clayton’s aged more than Shona. Must be the prison water.”

A third viewer added: “Corrie casting Clayton looking older than his mam.”

A final person finished: “Clayton looks older than Shona! Epic fail by the casting team there.”
