In tonight’s bumper hour-long Coronation Street, David Platt (Jack P Shepherd) got a horrible surprise that threatened to make his time in prison even worse.
He bumped into his rapist Josh Tucker (Ryan Clayton) after the twisted lad was moved to the same prison and ended up in the hospital wing after being attacked by another inmate.
Corrie spoilers revealed that Josh will be stabbed in next week’s prison riot and that David will swear he wasn’t involved.
And it turns out viewers are already certain the long-running character will be innocent and not have anything to do with it, like he will say.
In tonight’s episode, David told cellmate Abe Crowley (Liam Boyle) that Josh was in prison for raping him, after Abe discovered his crime.

Later, Abe informed David of an impending prison riot, and tried to persuade him to take some drastic action against Josh.
He told him: “You can get away with all sorts when there’s a riot.”
He went on: “You said if you got him on your own you’d kill him, right? Now’s your chance.”
But fans are convinced that David won’t be the one to stab Josh during the episodes which will air next week.
One said: “David don’t get yourself in trouble you’re out in three weeks.”

Another wrote: “David will do nothing more than give Josh a bad trim.”
A third tweeted: “David’s no killer.”
And a fourth added: “Surely David isnt actually planning to kill Josh?”
In the spoilers, it was revealed that David tells Abe he wants to deal with Josh alone after he’s handed a pair of scissors.

Later, he rings home and tells Shona (Julia Goulding) that Josh has been stabbed and she needs to find him a lawyer.
However he denies he’s involved in the attack, but she soon sees a video of the riot which shows Josh collapsing from a stab wound and David close by.
Could David really be innocent?
Coronation Street continues Monday at 7.30pm on ITV.
