Coronation Street fans say character detail has 'own acting role' as they ask 'what's going on'

Coronation Street fans were left asking 'what's going on' as they noticed a change in David Platt. The character was seen on screens in the ITV soap on Wednesday night (May 17) as he went to visit his son, Max, as concerns continue to grow for the teen as he remains int the STC.

Max has so far spent months in a juvenile detention facility after pleading guilty to encouraging terrorism. The character, played by Paddy Bever, was groomed by eco-warrior Griff Reynolds into his terrifying racist gang which saw Alya Nazir, Maria Windass and former Speed Daal waiter Daryan become targets when a bomb was planted in the middle of the street.

Despite previously keeping schtum on what happened when a test bomb exploded and left him in hospital, Max finally came through, with the help of one of Griff's pals' daughter Lauren, when they realised something bad was going to happen. After convincing Alya and her grandmother Yasmeen that he was telling the truth, Alya found a bomb and drove the van away from the cobbles.
