There’s ‘drama’ on the horizon for Coronation Street’s Shona and David Platt amidst their new baby storyline.

Julia Goulding, who portrays Shona, hinted that it won’t be smooth sailing for the family following the revelation of Shona’s pregnancy onscreen. David discovered a pregnancy test and assumed it was their neighbour Betsy Swain’s.

However, when suspicion fell on his young daughter Lily Platt, Shona quickly informed her husband that the test was hers, confirming her pregnancy. But with this week’s scenes revealing the Platts learning about the couple’s baby joy, Julia told The Mirror that things could take a ‘dramatic’ turn.

Hinting at ‘twists and turns’ ahead, she suggested there could be some unexpected developments for the family, particularly concerning the couple’s child.

When asked if there were exciting scenes and some happy news to come, Julia responded: “Yeah, not that it’s without its drama”, reports the Mirror.

Remaining elusive, she then added: “There’s more drama on the way, definitely.”

Julia further teased this, hinting it was related to the new child on the way. She said: “What can I tease? I don’t know, apart from that there is gonna be lots of twists and turns for them regarding the future of their family… child…”

Naturally, Julia touched on the ongoing bin-gate saga between the Platts and the Connor-Swain household, as they’ve been affectionately named by fans. With Lisa Swain squabbling with new neighbour David over bin usage, it’s certainly injected some humour back into the soap.

Julia alluded to the plotline and remarked: “It’s so true to life isn’t it! Come on, who hasn’t had bin wars with their neighbours. I put locks on my bins once because someone kept fly-tipping in the recycling.”

We also quizzed the soap star about her thoughts on Lisa and her partner Carla Connor’s significant move next door to the Platt family.

She admitted: “To be honest I’ve not done much with them yet. I did the back garden stuff. It’s nice because it brings it back to that sense of community.

“Even if it’s bickering with Carla, it has turned David into Gail Platt! It’s been really fun to play, really fun.” Discussing her co-star Lucy Fallon’s return to the show as Bethany Platt very soon, Julia said: “She’s very excited about coming back!”
