Coronation Street's David Platt betrays fragile wife Shona by sleeping with Alina

Coronation Street fans should be prepared for all hell to break loose as David Platt does the unthinkable this week.

The tormented husband of sick Shona is left devastated after she demands a divorce after losing her memory in an explosive accident before Christmas.

The previously devoted wife to David lost all memories of their years spent together after she was targeted in the mass shooting horror.

Derek Milligan took his revenge out on the innocent civilians of Weatherfield during his violent rampage, leaving Shona for dead.

After coming through the trauma and fighting off death, the character is now terrified after being told she is in love with and married to David - but she can't remember a thing about their time together.

A heartbroken David tried everything under the sun jog his wife's memory, as he sat by her side in hospital, telling stories about their family life and how they first fell in love.

Despite all this, Shona was still left in the dark, and ultimately demanded a divorce from David.

This week, things will take a turn as viewers will see the heartbroken character lose all hope as he seeks comfort in Alina.

After discovering that his beloved wife has been in contact with her murderer son Clayton, a frustrated David flies off the handle and into the arms of another woman.

Next week, David will visit the troubled Clayton in prison and will beg the crook to leave Shona alone once and for all.

Despite his pleas, the heartless Clayton assures David that he will never be finished manipulating his wife.

After returning from the prison visit, David tells Nick and Gail exactly what's been going on and how troublemaker Clayton has been spreading lies about him to his beloved wife Shona.

In an bid to help the otherwise drastic situation, Nick visits Shona to try to make her see the light, but she ends up turning him and his good intentions away.

Later on, a defeated David tells Maria that his wife has 'done him a favour by asking for a divorce'.

The angry husband decides that he needs to move on and find another woman if he's going to get on with his life, so he heads for a drink.

Finding Alina in Victoria Garden, looking down in the dumps, a frustrated David sees her as the perfect person to move on with.

David sits down next to her and offers her a beer and when she agrees to share a can with him, there's a clear spark between the pair.

Before she can stop him, David texts Nick claiming that Alina’s ill and that she needs the rest of the day off.

Later, after a bust up with Seb in the Rovers over Alina, Nick urges David not to give up on his wife.

A distraught David then bursts into tears after realising the massive mistake he's made.
