Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances-Brown) is one of Coronation Street’s biggest bunny-boiling baddies. They wouldn’t kill her off screen, right? Right?!
The last time we saw Weatherfield’s answer to Fatal Attractions, she was in hospital nursing a gut wound after being accidentally shot in the stomach by her half-sister Shona (Julia Goulding).
Which, in the circumstances, was probably fair enough. Given the whole ‘scheme to steal her sister’s life’ thing.
The conniving little made was invited under Shona’s roof with open arms, yet she took every opportunity to seduce her husband David Platt (Jack P Shepherd).
Obviously David is a hundred percent faithful to Shona. So when the seduction routine didn’t work, Jodie resorted to gaslighting her sister into thinking she was a bad mum, going to sickening lengths to frame her for putting Baby Harper in danger.
It all came to a head last month, when Shona was out and Jodie seized the opportunity to go full seductress on David…and he wasn’t exactly saying no. Finally, Jodie had stolen her sister’s fella.
Of course she hadn’t. It was all a ruse.
David was going along with it so Jodie would reveal her true colours just in time for Shona to walk through the door. Busted!
Turning desperate, Jodie pulled out the gun that she had stashed in her creepy box of stolen trinkets and a terrifying stand-off ensued.
This ended in Shona trying to grab the gun in the panic…
… then bang.
To cover for his wife,David spun a story to emergency services that they had heard a gunshot, only to rush onto the scene and find Jodie wounded.. after disposing of the gun in the canal, of course.
When she woke up in hospital, Jodie backed up this story when DS Lisa Connor-Swain (Vicky Myers) grilled her on what happened.
However, Jodie immediately tried to blackmail David and Shona to let her move back into Number 8.
David told the hysterical homewrecker to sling her hook, but Shona took pity on her sister and returned to the hospital later to bury the hatchet…
having none of it, declaring their relationship was done. But Shona couldn’t help feeling a pang of sympathy for her unhinged sibling and later returned to the hospital to offer her a roof over her head.
… only to find that Jodie had discharged herself and done a runner.
Curiouser and curiouser.
We already know that Jodie and David receive a sinister clue as to Jodie’s whereabouts in the form of a chilling phone call – which they dismissed as Jodie messing with them. Now in upcoming episodes of Coronation Street, they’re about to get another clue… and this one suggests that Jodie has left Weatherfield in a box.
Shona and David are shaken when Lisa reveals they have found an abandoned car with traces of Jodie’s blood in the boot. Were they wrong to ignore the threatening phone call? Has someone killed Jodie? It’s not like she didn’t have her fair share of enemies.
Like Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon), for instance, who about to get her own unwelcome Jodie update.
Bethany found herself drawn into Jodie’s web when she slept with Kit Green (Jacob Roberts), who the bunny-boiler had shown an interest in. Because Kit was the ex-boyfriend of Bethany’s mum Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien), finding out this hot tea was a gift to Jodie, who used it to stir up trouble.
But when Bethany caught Jodie manipulating a speaker playing a recording of baby Harper crying, it was confirmation that she was messing with Shona’s head on purpose.
Following the discovery, Bethany turned on Jodie and worked to expose her scheming to the Platts.
She might live to regret that…
Having returned home, Sarah finds a card addressed to Bethany on the mat. What does it say?
Bethany confides in Kit that she hopes they never clap eyes on Jodie again as that way they know their secret is safe.
Meanwhile, David warns Shona that they need to prepare for the worst and Jodie might well be dead…
Is anyone buying that?
