Coronation Street’s imprisoned David Platt set for MORE heartbreak as stepson Max’s grandma arrives on the cobbles to take him back

DAVID Platt is set for more heartache in Coronation Street when step-son Max’s grandma returns to fight for custody of him.

The imprisoned hairdresser – who is played by actor Jack P. Shepherd in the ITV soap – has been locked up for his part in stealing grandmother Audrey’s £80,000 inheritance but things are set to get even worse for him when Marion Logan returns demanding custody of Max.

Marion is evil Callum Logan’s mum – who was Max’s biological father before he was murdered by Kylie Platt, who was also later murdered on the cobbles.

A source told The Sun Online: “It was only a matter of time before Marion returned.

“She’s got two grandchildren living where her son was murdered because she thought they could give Max the best home.

“But with David in prison and it becoming clear Max isn’t coping without his stepdad, Marion decides she’s going to have to step in and put him first.”

The source added: “It’s devastating for the Platts.

“Max has been through so much with his mum murdering his dad and his stepdad being in and out of prison so it’s no surprise he’s struggling.

“But to be ripped away from the only family he’s ever known could be devastating for him – but Marion thinks she’s doing the right thing.

“David’s going to be heartbroken over it all – and he could lose Max forever.”

Soap fans will also recognise actress Susan Cookson for her most recent role in Emmerdale.

She currently plays rapist Lee Posner’s mum Wendy in the soap who keeps returning to the village to torment his pregnant victim Victoria threatening to take custody of her grandchild – despite the circumstances in which he or she was conceived.

Susan has also appeared in Hollyoaks, Doctors, Holby City and Casualty as well as school soap Waterloo Road.

* Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights on ITV
