Yahoo News Corrie lawsuit looms as Anna vows to sue David
Coronation Street's David Platt could be facing a lawsuit next week as Anna Windass and Kevin Webster become desperate for cash.
David (Jack P Shepherd) has never really faced the consequences of causing last year's dramatic road crash on the cobbles, even though it caused carnage on the Street and left Anna badly burned.
Okay, so Kevin did threaten David at the time - but it was hard to take him too seriously when he brandished the world's smallest tool as a warning.
Next week's episodes see everything change for David when Kevin becomes concerned over the financial mess that he's in after the recent fire at the garage.
Seemingly out of options, Kevin tells Anna (Debbie Rush) that they should sue David and go after compensation for her injuries.
Although Anna is uneasy about going down the legal route, she eventually asks Adam Barlow (Samuel Robertson) for his advice on how she'd make a personal injury claim.
Anna worries when she hears that she'd have to photograph her injuries, especially in light of her recent insecurities over how she looks - but she also knows that it may be her only option.
Michael Le Vell, who plays Kevin, revealed: "It's not a cunning plan - Kevin just overhears a conversation in The Rovers and thinks it's what Anna is due. David should have been insured, so his insurance should have paid out for Anna's injury anyway.
"It's not so much Kevin going after David, it's going after what they should have been paid out for a very serious accident, which anyone would expect. It's just going after what's rightfully theirs. It's why people have insurance - for accidents.
"But Anna doesn't want to relive the horrors of it all and she shouldn't have to really, if it's just an insurance claim. She just doesn't want to relive it all in her own head. It was very traumatic what she went through."
While Anna is busy fretting and setting up a meeting with David to discuss the mater, Kevin is surprised to receive an unexpected offer of help.
Does this mean that David is off the hook? Or will Anna and Kevin go ahead and take David for every penny he has?
