Coronation Street Spoiler: Shona to die in David’s arms?
The previews are in from ITV for next week’s Coronation Street and Shona’s caught up in a shoot-up. She tries to talk to Clayton and manages to distract him. She kicks the knife away from him and across the floor.
But then she runs out to be faced with a wall of armed officers. She runs back into the building and a terrified David watches with his heart in his mouth. Will Shona get out alive?
Shona staggers from the building covered in blood and sinks to the ground. David watches in anguish. Is history repeating itself? Will Shona die in David’s arms?

Coronation Street Episode Review Monday 25th February
It's the day of Dane's funeral, and after weddings, funerals have the highest chance of going a bit Pete Tong. A casting call must've gone out for rough looking extras to play the Hibbs extended family; some of these pass a flask 'round the church whilst Macca and the rest of them give secret nods and signs. During the eulogy, Shona approaches Clayton and is told in no uncertain terms to get lost, but she sticks around and after some malarkey with the coffin, the signal is given and the dodgy undertakers attack the policemen, snip Clayton's handcuffs, and the young crim makes a run for it. After Billy very manfully rugby tackles Macca, the police turn up and take Macca and the others to the station - and Shona too.
Whilst his girlfriend is being questioned by the police, David's going ahead with his plan to house the stuffed rodent, Vin Weasel, in the barbers and has roped in poor Gail to put up a shelf. They should just capture and mount one of those meerkats. When Shona returns home from the cop shop, he forgets about the barber shop accoutrements, and starts panicking that Clayton will come after Max and Lily. He starts arranging for them to leave and tells Shona that if he catches up with Clayton before the cops do, then he'll be deader than a stuffed stoat (I'm paraphrasing).
Carla didn't start the fire, it was always burning, since the world's been turning, but Roy is adamant that she needs to tell Abi the truth to absolve her. She is about as keen on this idea as Roy is on grief counselling, which Toyah turns up to suggest. I'd've thought Ms Battersby would be busy enough without needing to actively recruit people over a bacon barm. If I saw my GP, Dr Jack, down the local caff telling random people they really should get that mole looked at, I would assume that he had too much time on his hands. Later, Roy tells Carla she has to move out. Harsh burn, Roy, pun intended.
Gary tells Cara the factory roof was a Phelan bodge job and it will cost £50K to fix. On top of this, he will need half of it up front and the factory will have to close down for six weeks, at which point Carla says can only afford to replace the roofing felt. Doesn't anyone on the street have insurance?
Amy is happy to pretend she's still pregnant if she can get another day off school after half term. At some point, even Steve's gonna work it out, surely. At the moment though, he's too busy gazumping the gazumper and announces that he's upped the offer on the house and it's been accepted. Claudia probably needs a place with a much higher ceiling, to be quite honest.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Sinead's having radiotherapy whilst Daniel does his essay and the nurses look after baby Bertie
And finally, Gina's decided she's going to start a new life in Newcastle. I guess that plan will last as long as Kevin is away.

Behind the scenes at Dane's Corrie funeral tonight
Tonight in Coronation Street, it's Dane's funeral. Dane's the dad of Clayton, Shona's son. And if you'd like to know where the funeral was filmed, it was at St. Andrew's Church in Radcliffe.

"At the time of filming, we had two real policemen on site as Corrie were filming an incident outside and they needed to be on hand in case the general public phoned up reporting violence in the graveyard!"
While nearby St Mary's Church, in Prestwich, has been the location of many a Coronation Street wedding and funeral, this was a first for Grade II listed St Andrew's.

Beverley Callard chats about new stage play The Thunder Girls
There's a wonderful interview with Beverley Callard, who plays Liz McDonald in Coronation Street, over at the Manchester Evening News website.
Beverley will be taking time out from Corrie later this year to star in a new stage play called The Thunder Girls. You can read more on that here.
“I love Corrie,” Beverley tells the M.E.N. “I have been on it 30 years this year, and the reason why is because it is a very matriarchal show. Well this is a matriarchal play. What’s great about this script is it isn’t 15 men and three women. We need more of this.
“More often than not you will watch a film and a 50-year-old male lead will have a 30-year-old wife. If it’s the other way around she is called a cougar and he’s her toy boy.
“This play is about real women. They have been hurt, they have been happy, they have been loved, they’ve had their heart broken.
“This is the night they get together having not seen each other for 30 years, and the audience is a part of it.”
“Often I think the best is yet to come for me,” she added. “I’m offered so much work and I love my job. I can’t ever imagine retiring as an actor. I’m just going to keep on going.”
The Thunder Girls has its premiere preview run at the Lowry Theatre, Salford Quays, from September 24 – 28.

Video: David Neilson and Julie Hesmondhalgh chat about Roy and Hayley
There's an absolutely wonderful archive video of an interview with Julie Hesmondhalgh and David Nielson (Roy and Hayley Cropper in Coronation Street) on the RTE website.
David and Julie tell Gay Byrne about the challenges of introducing a transgender character to the soap. Initially fearing that it would be handled badly both actors were sceptical about how the story would unfold. However after meeting they wanted to do the story justice.
David Nielson arrives late to the Late Late Show studio having been delayed on a flight to Dublin from Bristol. He describes his initial terror when he heard the storyline.
"I was imagining a big trucker in a wig. Nothing against big truckers in wigs. I’m all for them."
When he discovered that Julie Hesmondhalgh would be playing the part of Hayley and saw the great scripts, his initial fears were quelled.
Watch it all here, it's a gem.
And if you're a fan of Roy and Hayley then you might like this little book which Julie Hesmondhalgh wrote the foreword to... all proceeds go to Pancreatic Cancer charity. Buy the book here.
