Horror tragedy strikes as two Coronation Street legends are hit by a car

David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) and Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) are left fighting for their lives in Coronation Street next week, following a horrific vehicle collision. Poor Daisy is drawn into the Platt family dramas, just as she gets offered a promising new opportunity in France.

In tonight’s episode we saw the barmaid excitedly tell step-mum Jenny (Sally Ann Matthews) that she’d been offered the opportunity to work as an au pair in Europe. Jenny was devastated to hear that she was throwing away the prospect of a family life with Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard), not knowing that the father of her unborn baby is actually Kit Green (Jacob Roberts).

Daisy planned to come clean, but when Daniel revealed his intentions to purchase the Rovers and clear her of any outstanding debts with Carla Connor (Alison King), she kept shtum. Later this week, the pressure begins to mount for Daisy as she attends her twelve week scan, whilst, around the corner, things aren’t going too swimmingly for David and his wife Shona (Julia Goulding).

Still fearful that gangster Harvey Gaskell (Will Mellor) is hunting him down and wanting his cash back, David meets up with dodgy prison pal Andy. He’s paid for the latest robbery they’ve taken part in, but is keen to take on more work. As they have their undercover conversation, Andy clocks a fella watching them in the shadows – and gives him a knowing nod. Has he set David up?.

In upcoming scenes, his step-son Max Turner (Paddy Bever) is facing trial for burning down his family home. Everyone watches on from the gallery, as the Judge gives the sentence. But what will he be dealt?. Later, after locking up the salon, David is met by Andy who is brandishing a knife and asserting that Harvey wants him dead!.

As the week goes on, we’re dealt a troubling flash forward to hospital staff rushing around David as they try to save his life. Back in the present day, Shona can sense that he’s concerned about something and assures him that they can make things right.

David heads to the pub and knocks back vodka, whilst Jenny is nursing a hangover from the night before. She’s had a blazing row with Daisy over her meddling with Daniel, and has made a drunken pass at Kit. As Daniel walks into the boozer, Kit pulls him to one side and says that he should ask Daisy for proof about the baby’s paternity.

He tracks her down, and asks her to swear on the child’s life that he is the father. In a moment of madness, she darts out of the awkward situation and into the street, as a paralytic David stumbled out into the road. Suddenly, Shona spots a car hurtling towards them both – and it hits them.

Jenny, Kit, Daniel, Sarah (Tina O’Brien) and Nick (Ben Price) overhear the crash and fly out to see that both David and Daisy have been seriously injured. Sue Devaney as Debbie Webster. Fans have been left distraught at news of Debbie's upcoming departure, with the character being written out as part of a storyline focusing on dementia.

A source told Metro: 'It’s one of the show’s biggest storylines of the year, and a real chance for Sue to finally get her time in the spotlight – it will just be devastating for fans that it will effectively be her final storyline. ‘It’s one of many major storylines new boss Kate Brooks has in the bag, and there will not be a dry eye in the house.

‘There is no doubt in the Corrie family that she will give the performance of a lifetime and make Debbie’s exit one to remember for years.’. Sue Cleaver as Eileen Grimshaw. Loose Women and I'm A Celebrity star Sue has been central to the show for two and a half decades but now she will be saying goodbye.

She confirmed: ‘I’ve had 25 privileged years of working on Coronation Street.’. ‘The door is still firmly open, but as I reached my 60th year, I decided it was time to embrace change, look for new adventures, and live fearlessly.'. Colson Smith as Craig Tinker.

After 14 years, Corrie has decided to also write out police officer Craig, with the actor sharing his love for the show on social media following the decision, delivered to him last year. He said: 'I've loved every single second of my 14-year stay as a resident on the greatest street in the world. I feel incredibly lucky to have grown up in, on and around Coronation Street.

'I've learnt pretty much everything about life from the people who call it home. I'm excited to play out the exit story for our Craigy. For me, this is just the end of the beginning. 'I genuinely can't wait to see what chapter 2 has in store for me. Long live the cobbles!'.

Charlotte Jordan as Daisy Midgeley. After a very busy four years on the show, Daisy is set to leave as part of a currently to-secret explosive storyline, with Charlotte keen to try other projects. She said in a statement: 'My time at Coronation Street is something I’ll always cherish.
