Weatherfield is plunged into shock as the Platts reach breaking point.

Shona’s only 28 weeks, the fear is already crushing — the silence of waiting for movement, the sudden surge of pain, the terrifying snap of reality when her waters break and there’s no time to breathe.

This isn’t a “get the bag” moment. This is panic. This is survival.

Shona is the one shattered the most, because she isn’t just scared of premature birth — she’s scared of what comes after.

The looming knowledge that her baby may need urgent treatment at the moment of arrival turns her fear into something primal. And while she’s fighting to stay calm, the one person she needs to anchor her — David — collapses. With his medical history, it’s not just dramatic. It’s dangerous. It’s the worst timing imaginable.

This wasn’t just a medical emergency… it detonated into a chain reaction of fear and helplessness, rewriting everything they thought they could control and leaving scars that won’t fade.
