David Platt will chase Kit Green on Coronation Street after the detective slept with his wife, Shona.

It was revealed earlier this month that Shona and Kit had spent the night together in a hotel following a strain in her relationship with

David, which had been caused by his deceit in regards to her imprisoned son, Clayton Hibbs.

David will soon become hellbent on discovering the identity of Shona’s fling, with the character incorrectly assuming that Adam Barlow was guilty. In scenes set to air on December 30, David will discover that Kit is the man he’s looking for, beginning a plan of revenge.

In scenes on January 8, David will continue to treat Shona with contempt as he struggles to forgive her for the mistake, though Sarah implores him to move on for the sake of their marriage.

Kit, meanwhile, receives a call from Shona regarding the whereabouts of Logan and Matty Radcliffe, who have remained at large following the stabbing of their brother, Mason. Kit orders her to leave the area, with the detective going after the pair.

Sarah overhears what has happened and informs David that Shona was near the dangerous brothers, though he gets the wrong idea as he becomes enraged that Kit had called Shona in the first place.

David hurriedly grabs his keys and chases after Kit as he incorrectly assumes that he had resumed their affair with Shona – will this lead to disastrous consequences for David and Shona’s marriage?…

The dramatic storyline was recently discussed by Jack P Shepherd, who shared with Digital Spy and other press that David would be restricted in how he could enact revenge on Kit, saying: “I think David will react in a way where he’ll have to try and get his own back on Kit somehow.

“He’ll have to try to do it in a clever way. With Kit being six foot taller than David, he won’t be able to take him on physically! It’ll have to be something that he does mentally. He’ll do something to mess Kit’s life up somehow. That’s what he’ll do – definitely.”
