«Breaking News» Coronation Street: Jack P Shepherd hints at David Platt exit

His harrowing ordeal at the hands of villainous Josh Tucker left fans on the brink of tears.

And Coronation Street's Jack P Shepherd has hinted his time on the soap could be coming to an end after the dark plot, as he suggested his character David Platt may have to leave Weatherfield to get over the ordeal.

Speaking to the ITV soap's official blog, Jack, 30, praised producers for the hard-hitting plot which saw David left a broken man after being drugged and raped by Josh.

He's gone: Coronation Street's Jack P Shepherd has hinted his time on the soap could be coming to an end after David Platt's horrific rape ordeal

He said: 'I've been in the show for 18 years now and played every single storyline you could possibly play.

'Ultimately in soaps I think if it does change the character then you must see what you want from the character. Do you want David Platt to change and if so why? If he does change, does he eventually have to leave?

'After a while the character must come to terms with what has happened to them and move on, then you can live out other stories. If they don't, then what do they do?

'Will they be depressed or do they leave? It comes down to that really. David has been through a lot, he's a resilient character. He's had numerous people trying to kill him before and his wife died, so there are things that he's got over and come out the other side.'

Rough ride: The 30-year-old actor told the Coronation Street blog that David could be pushed to leave the Street after he struggling to move forward from his rape ordeal

Broken man: Harrowing scenes aired in March saw David drugged and pushed onto a bed semi-conscious by his so-called 'friend' Josh

Fans saw the brutal build-up and aftermath of David's ordeal back in March, when Josh was seen throwing him onto the bed in a semi-conscious state after spiking his drink.

While nothing was shown on-screen, Josh could be heard undoing his trousers before closing the bedroom door, with the following episode showing David awake in Josh's bed.

Despite many viewers branding the story 'uncomfortable,' Jack added that he's received plenty of praise from fans and victims' support groups for taking on the plot.

Dramatic: Nothing of the act was shown on-screen, but Josh could be heard undoing his trousers while looking over David in a sinister manner

Over: In the aftermath, Josh has repeatedly professed that he has done nothing wrong, and despite eventually being arrested for the crime was soon released without charge

He added: 'People saying that they've enjoyed watching the storyline. Then they always hesitate and say, 'I shouldn't really say that as it's not something you should enjoy' but what they mean is that it's been a good topic and it needed to be addressed.

'It's interesting because when it was released in the press that we were going to do this storyline there was a lot of response with people saying it's disgusting, Corrie shouldn't be putting that on the screen, it's a family show.

'As soon as it went on screen people realised that you didn't see David get raped, all you saw was a door slamming shut and you knew what was going to happen after that. It let the audience use their own imagination.

'The storyline was more about the aftermath and the mental effect that happened with David. People got it and it was a good story, I think Corrie played it out really well.'

Dark: Jack went onto reveal he's received much praise from fans and victims groups for taking on the shocking storyline

In the aftermath of David's dark experience, Josh seemingly received his comeuppance, being left blind by a violent assault from another man he planned to target.

But his time on the Street isn't over yet, as kind-hearted vicar Billy has offered Josh a place to stay after he left hospital, despite David furious to see his attacker far from behind bars.  

Coronation Street continues on Wednesday 26th September at 7:30pm and 8:30pm on ITV.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
