In tonight’s double bill of ITV’s Coronation Street, David (played by Jack P. Shepherd) and Josh (Ryan Clayton) will head out for a drink at a nearby bar.
As they begin drinking, David opens up to the newcomer about his family and his past struggles.
“You don’t talk about him much, your brother,” Josh noted in a preview of tonight’s instalment.
“To be honest, I didn’t think you had one. I thought we were tight?”
“Yeah, well I thought me and Nick were tight. Solid,” David replied. “Thought he always had my back but when I came out of young offenders, something changed.”
Stunned, Josh quizzed: “You were in young offenders?”
“Don’t you start thinking any less of me,” David said.
Josh continued to probe, asking: “Bet you saw some sights in there?”

“Dad’s no better, if you want to call him that.”
Gazing at David, Josh promised him: “I’ve got your back mate, you do know that don’t you?”
