David Platt’s future on Coronation Street is uncertain after surviving a harrowing near-death experience in the latest dramatic twist for the beloved character.

As fans will remember, David’s plan to orchestrate his own death to protect his family from the vengeful gangster Harvey Gaskell backfired,

leaving him fighting for his life after being struck by a speeding car.

But the fallout from his ill-fated attempt could have even darker consequences, with speculation now mounting over whether David will exit the soap for good.

David’s dangerous decisions have been spiraling ever since it was revealed that he had stolen money from Harvey Gaskell to buy his family home.

The enormous sum of cash was originally offered to David’s sister Sarah Platt by Damon Hay,

Harvey’s brother, to help pay for her daughter Bethany’s medical expenses after a botched surgery in Turkey. The money, however, became a ticking time bomb for David, who found himself trapped in a web of criminal dealings and threats.

In a desperate bid to keep his family safe from Harvey’s wrath, David sought the help of his former prison mate, Andy Garland. Confronted by Andy, who was wielding a knife and threatening to kill him on Harvey’s orders, David had no choice but to push Andy away without escalating the situation further.

Despite this, the tension continued to build, and David found himself at a crossroads. After reflecting on his situation, he made the shocking decision to take matters into his own hands. He contacted Andy once again, this time asking him to carry out a staged hit-and-run that would result in David’s death, allowing the Platts to cash in on his life insurance and pay off Harvey once and for all. It was an act of desperation, one that would end up having catastrophic consequences.

On the fateful day of the planned accident, David positioned himself in the middle of the street, counting down the seconds as he prepared for the car to hit him. However, things didn’t go as planned. As the car sped toward him, David was struck, but it wasn’t just him who suffered the consequences. Daisy Midgeley, who had been caught in the chaos, was also hit by the car and gravely injured.

The pair were rushed to the hospital, with David’s life hanging in the balance. He was placed in a coma after emergency surgery, and fans were left on the edge of their seats wondering whether he would pull through. In the most recent episode, viewers learned that David had regained consciousness, only to reveal to his devastated partner, Shona, that he had orchestrated the entire accident in a bid to protect his family.

Shona, heartbroken by David’s reckless actions, was left reeling. She discovered that David had planned his own death to help pay off Harvey and ensure his family’s safety, but the revelation left her feeling betrayed. In a desperate attempt to fix the situation, Shona turned to Daisy, demanding that she cough up the £40,000 she needed to settle her debts with Harvey. Shona threatened to expose Daisy’s role in the hit-and-run if she didn’t comply.

With the situation rapidly deteriorating, the drama intensified in the latest episode, when DC Kit Green, the father of Daisy’s unborn child, paid a visit to David in Audrey’s salon. Kit, who had just learned about the crash and the devastating loss of Daisy’s baby, confronted David with the news that Andy had been arrested and was in police custody, awaiting questioning. The walls were closing in on David as Kit made it clear that the truth about the hit-and-run was coming out – and David’s role in the crime could be exposed.

This latest development has sparked speculation among fans that David’s time on Coronation Street may be drawing to a close. His involvement in the hit-and-run and the spiraling consequences of his actions have made it clear that David’s future in Weatherfield is uncertain. With the police investigation into the crash and Shona’s blackmail plot continuing to unfold, it seems that David will be facing serious repercussions in the coming weeks.

While no official exit has been confirmed for David, actor Jack P. Shepherd, who has portrayed David for over two decades, recently hinted at the possibility of his character leaving the show. Fans are now left to wonder whether this latest storyline will mark the end of David Platt’s time on Coronation Street, or whether he will face yet another dramatic challenge to overcome.

Whatever happens, it’s clear that the fallout from David’s dangerous decision will continue to reverberate through Weatherfield, leaving viewers on tenterhooks as they await the next twist in this high-stakes storyline.
