Coronation Street viewers were baffled this evening as Shona Ramsey (Julia Goulding) returned to our screens for the first time since coronavirus lockdown episodes aired.
David Platt’s (Jack P Shepherd) wife was shot on Christmas Day by Derek Milligan (Craig Els) during the siege at the Rovers Return, leaving her in a coma.
She was left fighting for her life after the shooting – with the character having been moved to a specialist unit in Leeds for treatment as she began to recover.
Although Shona has left hospital, she suffered a brain injury in the shooting which has left her unable to remember much of her previous life – including the fact she is married to David, leading her to ask him for a divorce.
Shona is still recovering from her injury but she appeared to remember all about her sister-in-law Sarah Platt’s (Tina O’Brien) rocky relationship with Gary Windass (Mikey North) during Monday’s episode.
ITV viewers rushed to their keyboards as they were confused how Shona suddenly remembered her past.
Taking to Twitter, one fan panned: “Shona’s back and so is her memory now?”
Another added: “Am. I missing something? Has Shona got better all of a sudden?”
A third posted: “Shona fully composed mantis?”
While a fourth said: “When did Shona get her memory back?”
A fifth wrote: “Is it me or has Shona just magically got her memories back with no explanation? When exactly did it happen?”
During tonight’s visit to Weatherfield, Shona told Sarah that Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) was “much fitter” than her ex Gary.
Speaking to Sarah in the Platt’s household, Shona said: “David ‘s texted gave me the juicy goss.
“Why do you keep on looking out the window? Gary’s done one he is not coming back for you.”
Sarah replied: “Alright I do know that.”
Shona added: “Do you wish he would? Do you want to run off with him?
Sarah joked: “You’ve been reading too many romantic novels. I just genuinely care about him. I guess that I always will.
“He is really bad for me. I’d be a fool to go back there.”
Shona later brought up Sarah’s doomed marriage to hunky solicitor Adam.
“What about Adam? You’ve only been married five minutes and it is already on the rocks,” she asked.
Sarah replied: “We just had a massive bust-up. Adam is really jealous over him.”
Shona said: “Well he’s got every right to be. Look do you really want to throw your marriage away for a guy who is getting hitched to someone else?
Sarah reminded Shona: “I love Adam but its too late. He’s already dumped me.”
Shona advised: “Look get him round here and make a move on him and don’t take no for an answer.
As she was leaving the room, she added: “Adam is well fitter than Gary, I wouldn’t kick him out of bed.”
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday on ITV at 7.30pm
