By Tamzin Meyer

As we dive into the latest episode of Coronation Street, the stakes couldn’t be higher for David Platt. Following a shocking hit and run earlier today, David is now fighting for his life in the hospital. The gripping events unfolded on March 5, 2025, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats.

During the episode, David was struck by a car in a devastating incident that he believed would be his last. Having penned heartfelt goodbyes to his family, he stood in the street at 2 PM—the exact time his friend Andy had promised to drive the vehicle towards him. David’s intention was to protect his loved ones from the aftermath of his life insurance plan related to Harvey, who has been a looming threat.

Unfortunately, the hit was not just fatal for David; Daisy was also caught in the chaos. As David bled profusely, Asha rushed to assist him before he was swiftly transported to the hospital. Their desperate attempts to save him became a race against time as doctors faced a critical moment, briefly losing David before managing to bring him back.

Meanwhile, family members Sarah, Nick, and Audrey made a choice to keep David’s death plan under wraps from Shona, amplifying the tension. By the end of the episode, David remained unconscious in his hospital bed, raising questions about his fate.

Jack P Shepherd, who captivates audiences as David, hinted at dramatic changes during a recent interview. Reflecting on his nearly 25-year tenure on the show, he remarked that while it would have been nice to celebrate that milestone, he alluded that tonight might mark the end for his character. When asked directly if the episode signified farewell, Jack confirmed, leaving fans speculative yet hopeful.

However, as of tonight’s episode, David was still alive, casting doubt on Jack’s declaration about his character’s imminent death. With David’s survival uncertain and his future hanging in the balance, viewers are left wondering what lies ahead.

For those eager to catch the emotional rollercoaster, Coronation Street continues to air on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 8 PM. What are your thoughts on David’s fate? Join the conversation on our Facebook page @EntertainmentDailyFix and share your opinions.
