Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street will share a major update for David and Shona Platt next week, amid baby Harper’s emotional plot. Will the family finally get some good news?
The joy surrounding Shona’s pregnancy was quickly replaced by fear when a routine scan revealed that their unborn baby had an unusual mass on its neck. The mass was later confirmed as a potentially cancerous tumour, leaving the expectant parents terrified.
Since her birth, baby Harper’s condition has remained precarious and the doctors have been waiting for her health to improve in the NICU before being able to remove the tumour.
In Friday’s episode next week (13 February), David and Shona visit Harper in the hospital, where they are given some big news. The consultant tells them that Harper is now strong enough for her operation, which will take place on 4 March.
The parents are both pleased and nervous about the update, and eagerly await the day they can bring their daughter home. Will everything go to plan?
Viewers know that baby Harper was named after Vincent Harper, the surgeon who helped deliver her safely into the world. The character drove from Bristol to operate on Shona as their doctor was stuck in Lithuania during the emergency.
