CORONATION Street’s Julia Goulding says she is convinced Shona will “get wise” to her evil son Clayton who is telling lies about her ex David Platt.
The actress – who returns to screens this week after her maternity leave – has revealed her character is set for more heartbreak after losing her memory.
Shona has suffered amnesia since being shot in the soap’s dramatic Christmas storyline.
She has lost up to five years of her memory – and jailbird Clayton is using it to his advantage by claiming David is a drinker who used to beat her up and tell lies.
Speaking on This Morning, Julia said: “It’ a funny one with Clayton, she remembers him as 14.
“That’s when he started being nasty because of the influence from his father.
“His mask begins to slip again and those evil little ways show through. I think she’ll get wise to his games.”
Giving an insight of how tough it has been to play Shona since the shooting, she added: “It’s been difficult.
“We have a rapport together, actors, characters, friends. It’s been heard not to slip back into the old Shona and not have the same cheeky exchanges with David.”
Julia had only just returned to work at Corrie when filming was suspended amid the Coronavirus crisis.
She gave birth to her first child Franklin Wolf in December with husband Ben Silver.
Talking about being a first-time, Julia said: “It’s just delightful he gets better and better every day. He’s fantastic.
“He’s teething at the moment. though.”
Adding how she’s coping with lockdown as a new mum, the actress added: “It’s been really lovely for Ben and myself to have time with Franklin, but the grandparents are desperate to see him.
“It’s been lovely seeing his development every day.”
