Coronation Street Shona fears she is losing touch with reality as David seeks help
Coronation Street’s Shona fears she is losing touch with reality after repeatedly hearing Harper crying, prompting David to take her to the doctor.
Shona becomes frightened by what she is experiencing in upcoming Coronation Street scenes, prompting David to take her to the doctor. She repeatedly hears Harper crying, only to discover that her daughter is fine.
The experiences leave Shona questioning her own perception. Her concern is no longer limited to whether Harper needs her, as she begins to fear that she is losing touch with reality.
An earlier incident sees Shona return home in a panic after hearing crying behind the locked front door. She eventually finds Harper unharmed, but the repeated experiences leave her increasingly worried.
Asha also becomes concerned after noticing the smell of wine on Shona’s breath. That observation is a separate detail, however, and does not provide an explanation for what Shona is hearing.
David responds to Shona’s fears by taking her to the doctor. The appointment is a chance for her concerns to be addressed, although no diagnosis or outcome has been revealed.
Viewers also know that Jodie previously interfered with Harper’s bath by secretly adding boiling water. That deliberate act left Shona confused, but there is no confirmed connection between Jodie’s behaviour and the crying Shona now hears.
What is clear is that Shona is distressed enough to question what is happening to her. Finding Harper safe offers reassurance about the baby, but does not resolve why these experiences keep occurring.
Seeking medical help brings Shona’s own wellbeing into focus. With David accompanying her, she has an opportunity to explain what she has been experiencing and how frightened it has made her.
Where to watch: Coronation Street airs on ITV1. Episodes are also available to stream on ITVX.
