Coronation Street fans STUNNED by who really stabbed evil Josh Tucker
It looked like it was David Platt...
Coronation Street viewers have been left utterly stunned by the revelation of who stabbed the Street villain, Josh Tucker. In last night's episode (31st Oct), fans of the show discovered that it actually WASN'T David Platt, as had previously been thought by many after David appeared to try and attack him in episodes last week.
However, David was paid a visit by fellow inmate Abe, who revealed that it was actually he and another prisoner, Tez, who did the deed themselves after David couldn't bring himself to go through with it.
However, things took a turn for the worse for David later in the episode, after he attended a court hearing to see if he could be granted bail to marry his fiancée Shona Ramsey. He was rejected, as the judge still considered him to be a suspect in the case.
Josh then woke up in hospital, but knowing that David's rape case against him could be re-investigated, Josh lied and told police that David had been the one to attack him - leaving fans absolutely livid.
Taking to Twitter, many vented their anger, with one writing, 'Can't believe Josh has done that after David tried to help him,' as another added, 'I really hate that Josh is lying that David tried to kill him!' and one other commented, 'So outraged and annoyed Josh blaming David, I even shouted at the TV.'
