What makes this storyline so compelling is the way Coronation Street cleverly leaves all possibilities open.

The accidentally discovered pregnancy test has become a time bomb, opening up many scenarios that have the audience arguing fiercely.

If the baby is David’s: this will be an opportunity for the two to reconcile, proving that love can overcome betrayal and painful memories.

If the baby is Kit’s: tragedy will explode, Shona – David’s marriage will fall apart, and Kit may become the new center of tension in the village.

If Shona really doesn’t remember: the scenario becomes even more dramatic, because she herself has to face the truth that she has no control over her life.

In the final scene, Shona sits alone, her eyes bewildered, whispering: “What if this isn’t David’s child?” That question is not only for the character, but for millions of viewers.

The Platt family have been through a lot, but this time, things could get too much. Will David have enough faith to hold Shona’s hand and move on? Or will the truth about Kit Green be revealed, causing everything to collapse?

Coronation Street has once again turned a small detail – a pregnancy test in a bin – into the centre of drama, opening up a series of storms that will surely keep viewers glued to their seats for the next few episodes.
