CORONATION Street fans were in tears tonight again as David Platt wailed “I can’t do this” next to brain dead wife Shona Ramsey.
The salon worker is set to face his rapist Josh Tucker at trial later this week and broke down in tears under the pressure of his current situation.
Earlier in the episode, David begged Cobbles solicitor Adam Barlow to get him out of attending court.
David pleaded: “I’m begging you, I haven’t got time for this” but Adam immediately snuffed out his hopes of skipping the trial.
Later, David returns to Shona’s bedside and begs her to wake up, saying: “I need you to wake up now.
“They want me to testify at Josh’s trial. I can’t, you know I only reported him because you came with me. I can’t do this on my own. I can’t.”
He adds: “I can look after the kids, I can go to work, but I can’t do that. This has gone on long enough now Shona, please if you can hear me just wake up.”
The scenes left viewers in bits as they shared their heartbreak for David and Shona.
One fan said on Twitter: “Omg Shona needs to wake up now @itvcorrie David has been through enough”.
Another viewer wrote: “David has me in tears, he can’t loose another wife.”
And one more shared: “David is breaking my heart, he can’t lose Shona.”
Shona was caught in the crossfire of Derek Milligan’s murderous rampage against Gary Windass and ended up in hospital.
While things were looking promising at first, her health took a turn for the worse when she fell into a coma.
A devastated David kept a vigil by her bedside, before being told Shona needed more tests.
However, tragedy struck when the doctor revealed the results of the tests – and that her brain activity had deteriorated.
