Jack P. Shepherd hopes David and Shona Platt don’t get divorced.
The ‘Coronation Street’ actor admitted his co-star Julia Goulding would be devastated if their on-screen marriage comes to an end, but he can’t rule it out.
He said: "Well, Julia Goulding would be mortified because she wants to be a Platt! Julia and I were talking about the storyline and Julia said: ‘It’s awful, I want to divorce David Platt!’
"I love working with Julia and I really like David and Shona together, I think they have a strong bond. It would be a shame if they split but that’s soap!"
David’s estranged wife Shona can’t remember him after being injured in the soap’s Christmas Day (25.12.19) shooting, and she informed her man she wants a divorce.
Jack’s character has turned to booze and bonded with Alina Pop (Ruxandra Porojnicu) after they struck up a friendship in Victoria Gardens.
Her ex Seb Franklin (Harry Visinoni) is furious by the developments, and Jack insisted David doesn’t have feelings for his new flame.
He explained: "No, it’s a rebound, because ultimately David does want to be with his wife but he is not getting any affection from her.
"He’s tried and tried and he’s not getting anything from Shona. It’s a similar situation to what happened between David and Emma, he looks for comfort in the wrong places."
The 32-year-old soap star hinted his alter could have "lost" Shona, unless he "can do something drastic".
He added: "David is breaking down and this is really affecting him, but he is not letting anybody see him or letting anyone in. He doesn’t know what to do because he can’t get to Shona. Everything may be lost unless David can do something drastic to win Shona back."
