Jack P Shepherd warns ‘no one is safe’ in Coronation Street twist amid cast cull
CORONATION Street legend Jack P Shepherd has warned ‘no one is safe’ in his character’s storyline – amid a cast cull.
Jack, 37, has played David Platt ever since joining the ITV soap in 2000.
Last year, David made a misstep in stealing dirty money from crime boss Harvey Gaskell (Will Mellor).
When Harvey realised the money was missing, David soon found himself at the baddie’s mercy.
Recently, he was horrified to realise Harvey’s cronies knew who his daughter Lily is.
The tension even leads to his wife Shona (Julia Goulding) being abducted next week.
If that wasn’t enough, the Platts’ home No.8 is set to face a terrifying house fire next month.
With his character’s loved ones in immediate peril, Jack addressed the latest developments in Weatherfield.
He said: “Knowing that no one is safe and they could come after his whole family, he’s panicked and he’s desperate.
“He’s trying to think of ways to pay the money back but it’s a huge lump sum to come up with and he’s bricking it.”
The actor added: “David’s unpredictable, even for soap, you can see where it’s going with certain stories and that it’s not going to end well but you’re not quite sure how he’s going to get out of it or if he’s going to win in the end but hopefully he does.”
Elsewhere, Jack also addressed the threat of the Radcliffe brothers, Logan (Harry Lowbridge) and Matty (Seamus McGoff).
Harvey previously sent the duo after David – to threaten him and get the stolen money back.
Earlier this month, the twisted pair killed their own brother Mason (Luca Toolan) in shocking scenes.
Viewers were stunned as they saw actor Luca bow out after playing the role for 16 months.
Matty was later arrested for his brother murder, after he used Dylan’s (Liam McCheyne) zombie knife to stab him.
Meanwhile, Jack shared an insight on what the duo’s viciousness meant for David moving forward.
He shared: “He’s very worried because the Radcliffe brothers are now known killers and if they’re prepared to do that to their own brother, he knows they’re not going to hesitate once they get the nod to kill him.”
Will the Platts pull through the latest drama in their lives?
Coronation Street airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
