Jack P Shepherd's one simple trick to help him survive the Coronation Street cull He’s spent 25 years as David Platt, one of Coronation Street’s most iconic characters, but cobbles star Jack P Shepherd admits that he’d never have anything to do with his alter ego in real life.
Luckily millions of viewers disagree, having loved David’s transformation from the cheeky bunny-loving nine year-old we met in 2000, to one of the most troubled characters in the show’s history – his long list of misdemeanours include smashing up the street, a faked suicide, blackmail and famously pushing his mum Gail down the stairs.
Next week, the viewers will see the Platt house go up in flames with at least one character expected to die.
Early teasers of the shocking scenes have already been making headlines, with many quick to question what David's part in the drama might be....
It's just one of dozens of juicy plots, Jack , 37, has been involved with.
