Coronation Street: Jodie Ramsey’s manipulation of the Platt family intensifies

The long-running ITV soap Coronation Street is featuring intense storylines involving the character Jodie Ramsey, who has been attempting to infiltrate the Platt family. Actress Olivia Frances-Brown has described Jodie’s motivations as a desire to ‘step into [Shona’s] shoes’ and take over her life, including her relationship with David Platt and her role with baby Harper.

Recent plot developments show Jodie using gaslighting tactics to make Shona believe she is losing her mental stability. This includes using recordings of baby Harper crying to disturb Shona’s sleep and making her feel like an unfit mother. Tensions within the household are escalating, with Jodie’s father, Doug, expressing suspicion regarding her obsession with David.

Upcoming episodes are expected to feature a major confrontation between the sisters that may result in a shooting.
