Worried that David will report the incident to the police and expose Josh as a rapist, the criminal will try and woo a female character… All the while, viewers will see David slowly unravelling.

Ryan says: ‘He’s not going anywhere soon – he is still training people on the street for the boxing event.

“And in order to protect himself, he will maybe turn his charms on one of the ladies on the street so he’s a dangerous person to be around, in a very manipulative way.”

He adds: “He’s still there and because David hasn’t told anybody, he’s no reason to go. And he’s realised that David isn’t going to tell anybody, so there’s this whole thing of how that then affects David, and there are consequences along the line, all the way.”

Fans will be left horrified when Josh drugs and rapes David during a night out, in episodes to air soon.

The aftermath of the story will focus on David’s mental health, with Corrie boss Kate Oates recently defending the hard-hitting storyline.
