Coronation Street fans have been left in shock as the soap appears to have confirmed that a long-standing character is about to meet a tragic end
—but despite recent life-threatening events, it’s not David Platt.
The latest drama unfolded in an explosive week of episodes, where David (played by Jack P. Shepherd)
took desperate measures to solve his financial troubles with gangster Harvey Gaskell (Will Mellor).
As viewers will recall, David found himself in dire straits after owing thousands to the ruthless criminal.
In a desperate bid to pay off the debt, he shockingly arranged for his own murder—hoping to claim his life insurance to settle what he owed.
David Platt’s Deadly Plan Backfires
David’s drastic decision led him to contact criminal Andy, hiring him to carry out the fatal act. The plan was set in motion in Wednesday’s episode when David deliberately stood in the middle of the road, preparing for the staged accident. However, what happened next was far from what he expected.
As Andy accelerated towards him, the situation took a devastating turn when pregnant Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) stepped out onto the street at the worst possible moment. The impact left both David and Daisy critically injured, with the two characters being rushed to the hospital as their loved ones watched in horror.
While David’s survival was in question for much of the episode, the doctors later confirmed that he had pulled through. Although he remains in a fragile state, his condition is stable, and he seems likely to recover. But while David appears to have escaped death, another character’s fate is now hanging in the balance—and fans believe tragedy is imminent.
Is Max Turner Facing a Devastating End?
While David’s accident played out on the cobbles, another storyline unfolded that could have far more heartbreaking consequences. David’s stepson Max Turner (Paddy Bever), who was recently sentenced to six and a half years in prison, is in grave danger—and viewers fear his time is running out.
Max was jailed for arson after setting fire to the Platt house in a desperate attempt to raise money to pay off Harvey. However, since arriving in prison, he has found himself in a terrifying situation, with threats from Harvey’s associates looming over him.
During a tense phone call to David, Max revealed his growing fear that he wouldn’t make it out alive. The young offender begged for help, but with David fighting for his life in the hospital, his response was far from reassuring. David urged Max to “hang on in there,” but the cryptic nature of his words has left fans deeply concerned.
Fans Fear Max Could Take His Own Life
Following the emotional scene between Max and David, viewers have taken to social media to voice their fears that Max’s storyline could be heading towards a tragic conclusion. Many believe that Max may not survive his time in prison, with two heartbreaking theories emerging.
Some fans believe that Harvey’s men will eventually catch up with Max and take revenge for David’s inability to settle his debts. However, others fear that the young character may reach a breaking point and take his own life.
One concerned viewer wrote on a Coronation Street fan page, “Wondering if Max is going to kill himself!!!!” Another added, “I think he is, or Harvey gets to him first!” A third echoed the sentiment, commenting, “When David said ‘hang in there’—I think this too.”
Will Max Be the Next Character to Exit?
With Coronation Street known for its dramatic and emotional storylines, Max’s current predicament has left many wondering if the soap is preparing for another shocking exit. The character has faced significant struggles in recent years, from being groomed into an extremist gang to his troubled relationship with his family. His time in prison has only added to his struggles, and now, it seems that his future is more uncertain than ever.
As the tension builds, fans will be keeping a close eye on upcoming episodes to see if Max can find a way to survive—or if Coronation Street is about to say goodbye to yet another familiar face. One thing is certain: heartbreak is on the horizon, and viewers should prepare for an emotional rollercoaster in the weeks to come.
