Coronation Street spoilers<\/a> follow from Wednesday’s episode (7 January)<\/a>, which is available to watch now on ITVX<\/a> and YouTube<\/a> but hasn’t yet aired on ITV1.<\/p>\n

Coronation Street has revealed the true identity of Corriedale’s<\/a> mystery woman \u2013 and it looks like a big new storyline is about to begin for Shona Platt as a result. Fans have been speculating over new character Jodie<\/a>, who’s been secretly watching the Platt family since making her debut on screen this week. But what is she really up to?<\/p>\n

Wednesday’s episode of Corrie is a special single-storyline edition, focusing entirely on David and Shona’s journey as they prepare for the complex surgery that could save the life of their baby daughter.<\/p>\n

The couple are upset when they discover that the consultant surgeon who was due to carry out the operation has been detained.<\/p>\n

A replacement, Vincent Harper, is soon brought on board but anxious David and Shona can’t help fretting about whether he’ll be good enough.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Jodie continues to lurk nearby after following the Platts from Hotten General to Weatherfield General.<\/p>\n

While Shona is down in the operating theatre, Jodie behaves suspiciously by stealing a teddy and heading into her empty hospital room. She buries her face in Shona’s dressing gown, breathing in her scent.<\/p>\n

Later, relieved David and Shona get to meet their daughter for the first time following a successful operation and safe delivery of their baby.<\/p>\n

Clearly going nowhere, persistent Jodie spies on them through the window, prompting a stranger to ask whether she’s a proud mum.<\/p>\n

“Proud auntie,” Jodie replies.<\/p>\n

Jodie’s arrival in Corriedale saw her tied up in the back of a van being driven by returning Emmerdale character Graham Foster<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She managed to escape from the vehicle and although Graham tracked her down again, he ultimately abandoned his sinister plans for her. Fans have speculated that Graham has been working as a hitman for hire after being presumed dead for the past six years<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Corriedale first teased Jodie’s connection to Shona when they were seen to have matching tattoos. Jodie was also visibly shocked when she first saw the Platts at Hotten General and immediately started keeping watch on them, with her strange antics going unnoticed amid the stresses of recent days.<\/p>\n

Spoilers for next week<\/a> have already revealed that Jodie will soon make her presence known, but how will Shona feel about having her sister in town?<\/p>\n

Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
