There's a shock in store for the Platt family in tonight’s episode of Coronation Street on Friday 24th January 2025 at 8.00pm. See our TV Guide for full listings.

David's terrified when the family pet - his namesake, David the dog - is run over.

Is this just the start of Harvey's campaign against him?

The Platts are upset when Michael Bailey calls at the house with David the dog wrapped in a blanket.

He tells them he found the mutt at the side of the road, and he thinks he was hit by a car.

David and Shona wonder if Harvey was responsible and a scared David heads out to take action. He arrives home armed with a baseball bat and a hammer, and tells Shona that until they have the cash to pay Harvey what he owes, they need to protect themselves.

But could David make everything worse?

As Leanne heads out of court, she tells Toyah she wants nothing more to do with her.

But later, Tracy points out that Toyah didn't just steal Leanne's man - she stole her flat with all her things in it, too.

What will Leanne do about it?
