Clayton Hibbs, known as the son of David's current wife Shona, made a shocking return to Coronation Street this week. It has been four years since he was last seen, when he was convicted for the murder of David's late wife, Kylie Platt, in 2016. This unexpected comeback will have major consequences for Shona and David, who are already dealing with a lot of changes in their family, including the news of David's mom Gail's plans to move away from Weatherfield.
In case you need a refresher, here's a rundown on the notorious character. Clayton first appeared on the show in 2016 as the stepbrother of Macca Hibbs and a friend of Gemma Winter and Callum Logan. He caused trouble for Gemma at her job at the Prima Doner kebab shop and even attempted to steal from the till. During a heated altercation, Clayton knocked Gemma unconscious and when Kylie tried to intervene, he stabbed her in the chest and fled.
David was left devastated as he held his dying wife in his arms on the street. Later, David found love again with Shona, who also happens to be Clayton's mother. Despite the initial shock of realizing who her son was, Shona and David got married in 2019. However, Clayton's return in 2020, when Shona visited him in prison, brought back painful memories for the couple. They made a pact to never speak of him again and Shona even disowned her son. But last week, David received an email and phone call from Clayton in prison, causing him to delete the message in a panic.
David decides to keep this secret from Shona and secretly visits Clayton in prison. This visit has major consequences when the police inform Shona that Clayton has been hospitalized after attempting to take his own life. Shona is desperate to see her son, but will David come clean about his attempts to block contact?
Actress Julia Goulding, who plays Shona, shared her thoughts on how this revelation could affect her character's relationship with David. She expressed her fears of what Shona might do when she finds out that David has been manipulating her and was involved in Clayton's suicide attempt. There will be a lot of anger and pain between the couple, and the possibility of them destroying each other. Julia compared their situation to "trudging through treacle."
