Coronation Street confirms shock return in hospital dash as Shona Platt star declares 'drama'

Coronation Street has confirmed the shock return of Clayton Hibbs in its latest spoilers. The son of Shona Platt is currently in prison having been put behind bars in 2016.

It was Clayton who killed Kylie Platt, the late wife of his mum's now-husband David Platt. The latter had to say a heartbreaking goodbye to his wife following a tragic stabbing, carried out by Clayton on the street.

Kylie had just announced her family's plans to move to Barbados to live with her sister, Becky, after she killed ex Callum Logan as he was attacking sister-in-law Sarah.

But her excitement about the move was interrupted when she noticed her friend Gemma Winter being assaulted by Clayton, a former acquaintance of Callum. Kylie ran over to help Gemma but was horrifyingly stabbed in the chest by Clayton who fled the scene.

After cradling his wife as she passed away in his arms in heartbreaking scenes, David went on to attempt to kill Clayton, before the teen was finally arrested and jailed.

It was later that David and Shona found love, only for him to be rocked by the identity of her son, who later held his mum at gunpoint. But it's now been confirmed that Clayton will return to Shona and David's lives as actor Callum Harrison, who was last seen in 2020, reprises the role.

It starts next week in the ITV soap when David confides in brother Nick Tilsley about concealing the visiting order from Clayton from Shona. Nick advises him to come clean to his wife as she’s bound to find out in the long run. David forms a plan and is soon seen visiting Clayton in prison.
