Coronation Street‘s David Platt keeps his family in the dark over a second secret next week.

The Weatherfield hairdresser chooses not to confide in his wife Shona as he peruses a string of emails from the local prison.

In next Wednesday’s episode, David is alerted to an email from the Weatherfield Prison Services.

He then reaches for a letter that’s hidden away in his back pocket, but is stopped in his tracks and covers when Shona suddenly walks in.

Needing a quick distraction, David continues to complain about his mum Gail’s plans to sell the family home to Carla Connor.

Later in the week, David continues to behave shiftily once Shona has gone to bed one evening.

David opens up his wife’s laptop and deletes several emails from the Weatherfield prison. What is he up to?

Coronation Street recently revealed that David was the mystery culprit who’d stolen Damon Hay’s secret money stash, which were the takings from a dangerous robbery plan.

David’s surprise move put the Platt family in danger, although amid the confusion over who was responsible, Damon managed to protect the clan by giving his ruthless brother Harvey Gaskell a false story over what happened to the cash.

It’s currently unclear whether the prison emails relate to the Damon saga or the upcoming return of Shona’s son Clayton Hibbs.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that Callum Harrison has filmed a return stint as Clayton for prison-based scenes.

Clayton has appeared in the ITV soap on and off since 2016, when he killed David’s first wife Kylie in a stabbing on the street.

Coronation Street airs David’s secretive scenes on Wednesday, November 6 and Friday, November 8 on ITV1 and ITVX.
