Coronation Street fans were delighted this week as a familiar face—or rather, paw—returned to the cobbles. David the dog made a surprise appearance during recent episodes, stealing scenes amid the ongoing family drama involving David Platt and Lisa Swain.
David Platt’s Latest Family Feud
David Platt has been at the center of tension once again, this time embroiled in disputes involving his sister Sarah Platt and her partner, Kit Green. The detective constable, who arrived in Weatherfield last year, has long been at odds with David, especially after a complicated love triangle involving David’s wife, Shona, and previous criminal entanglements with gangster Harvey Gaskell.
During Sarah’s attempt to take over a client meeting from Carla Connor, chaos ensued when Eli, running late for a flight, clashed with Kit over a parking issue. Kit revealed his detective status and inspected Eli’s car, leading to tensions that threatened Sarah’s business pitch. David stepped in to advise Eli on reporting Kit for harassment, further escalating the drama.
The Return of a Fan Favourite
While the adults battled their disputes, David the dog returned to the spotlight, lounging on a sofa and delighting viewers with his cameo. Fans immediately took to social media to celebrate the canine’s return, with posts like:
-
@CrisisOfChaos: “Yay! David the dog! Glad to see the best cast member back! #Corrie”
-
@rozlaws: “Good to see David the dog is still alive. We haven’t seen him for possibly years. #corrie”

@ShakyWoon: “David (the dog) is back! #Corrie”
The pup’s return comes just before Lisa Swain’s ongoing “bin wars” storyline reaches its climax. Fans are anticipating a showdown between Lisa and David the dog, as spoilers hint she’s keeping detailed notes of his barking from next door.

What Fans Are Saying
The canine cameo has reminded viewers why David the dog is such a beloved part of the show. Many have expressed excitement that the dog is still part of the Platt household, bringing levity to the otherwise intense drama surrounding David, Sarah, Kit, and Shona.
With Lisa Swain’s storyline set to collide with David the dog’s antics later this week, fans are eagerly awaiting the inevitable showdown, proving that even in a soap dominated by human drama, a four-legged star can still steal the show.
