A major shake-up in Coronation Street is underway, as one of the soap’s most enduring characters
could be facing their exit following a devastating hit-and-run incident that has left fans reeling.
Daisy Midgeley and David Platt were both severely injured in a dramatic car crash,
and the aftermath of the incident is expected to bring significant consequences for the iconic characters involved.

As the emotional fallout continues to unfold, it appears that a fan favorite may be on the verge of leaving the show, with David’s fate hanging in the balance.

The tragic events began earlier this week when a hit-and-run crash shook the cobbles of Weatherfield.

Pregnant Daisy Midgeley, who had been caught in the chaos, regained consciousness in the hospital only to be told the devastating news by her partner, Daniel Osbourne.
The couple’s joy turned to heartbreak when Daisy was informed that she had lost their baby after sustaining injuries in the crash. Doctors revealed that Daisy was bleeding following a procedure on her arm, and it was confirmed on Friday night’s episode that their unborn child did not survive the traumatic event.
The crash, which initially seemed like a random accident, was revealed to be the result of a plan orchestrated by none other than David Platt. In a desperate attempt to escape the clutches of gangster Harvey Gaskell, David had conspired with Andy to stage his own death by arranging a high-speed collision. The goal was to make it look like a tragic accident, but in a twist of fate, Daisy was caught in the crossfire, resulting in the loss of her child.
As the emotional toll of the crash weighs heavily on Daisy, she is left grappling with her grief and the shock of what happened. Her character is set to leave Coronation Street as actress Charlotte Jordan, who plays Daisy, prepares to exit the show. However, the impact of the crash could have further ramifications beyond Daisy’s departure. David’s role in the incident has left fans speculating that his time in Weatherfield may also be numbered.

David, who has been a central figure in the show for over two decades, has always been known for his complicated and sometimes reckless behavior. However, this most recent action, which put his own life and the lives of others at risk, has cast doubt on his future. Now conscious after the crash, David is left to face the consequences of his actions. As more people in Weatherfield learn that David masterminded the accident, the question remains: Will David face the law for his reckless behavior?
The idea that David could be held accountable for the crash is gaining momentum, with the possibility of him facing a police investigation on the horizon. With news of his involvement spreading, it’s not out of the question that someone in the community—perhaps a close friend or family member—could report him to the authorities. As the fallout continues, it seems that David may not only be grappling with the emotional weight of his actions but also the legal ramifications that could follow.
David’s future on Coronation Street has become an increasingly hot topic among fans. In the wake of the car crash, speculation about his exit has been fueled by comments made by actor Jack P. Shepherd, who has portrayed David for over 20 years. In a recent interview, Jack hinted that his time on the show may be coming to an end, suggesting that “the end” for David could be near. His remarks about a potential departure, coupled with the current storyline’s dramatic intensity, have left fans wondering if David’s time on Weatherfield is running out.

Adding fuel to the speculation is the fact that Jack P. Shepherd is rumored to be taking part in the upcoming season of Celebrity Big Brother in 2025, a development that further suggests he may be moving on from his role on Coronation Street. His comments, along with the explosive nature of the current storyline, have made it clear that David’s actions—particularly his reckless involvement in the hit-and-run—could lead to a permanent exit.
While it remains unclear whether David will meet a tragic end or face some form of redemption before leaving, one thing is certain: the fallout from the car crash will continue to unfold, and David’s future is hanging in the balance. Whether this marks the beginning of the end for David Platt or if he will find a way to redeem himself, Coronation Street fans can expect more drama and emotional twists in the coming weeks.
As viewers await the resolution of David’s fate, the show is set to deliver more intense and heartbreaking moments, leaving fans on the edge of their seats. Will David face the ultimate consequence for his actions, or will he find a way to survive the aftermath of the crash? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure—Coronation Street will never be the same.
