Corrie airs on ITV1 at 8:05pm <– note the 5 minute later start, this is due to a short ‘romantic comedy’ titled The Perfect Gift airing between Emmerdale and Corrie.
SHONA AND DAVID GET DEVASTATING NEWS ABOUT THEIR BABY In a unique heart wrenching episode, the first half hour follows both Shona and David’s journey as they prepare to set off to see the consultant to find out more about the mass found on their unborn baby’s neck.
We first see the morning from Shona’s point of view as an emotional Shona wonders how David can be so casual when their baby’s life could be at risk. Eventually ordering David out of the car, insisting she doesn’t want him at the hospital.
We then see the same timeline but from David’s point of view as he focusses on preparing himself and his determination to be strong for Shona, despite breaking inside. Before we move back to reality as the consultant confirms the presence of a tumour on the baby’s neck, and explains that if they decide to continue with the pregnancy, Shona will have to undergo complex surgery. As the consultant reveals that their daughter’s tumour could be cancerous, how will a shell-shocked Shona and David respond?
ELSEWHERE Will tells Eva and Ben he’s at an athletics meeting in Leeds with his old team but he’s not telling the truth. Kevin hosts a poker night.
