David and Shona receive some worrying news

Next week on the cobbles. David and Shona Platt head to their baby scan after David missed the first one due to being stuck in a lift. Typical.

He doesn’t have much luck as he runs the risk of missing this one too after Kit Green arrests him for pushing into him.

With Kit eventually letting David go, he joins Shona at the hospital for the scan.

The sonographer then tells them that they’ve spotted a mass on the baby’s neck.

A special episode then looks at both David and Shona’s perspectives as they find out more about the mass, being informed that it could be cancerous.

If they choose to go forward with the pregnancy, it would require a complex surgery. This could put both Shona’s and her baby’s lives at risk.

With both Shona and David struggling to cope in different ways, what will they decide to do?
