Coronation Street star confirms Jodie's agenda in David story

Coronation Street star Olivia Frances Brown has spoken about her character Jodie Ramsey's dangerous agenda ahead of her massive showdown with sister Shona Platt next week.

Fans have seen Jodie obsessively try and steal her sister's life in recent months, even going after her husband David.

Speaking about why Jodie is ready to risk everything for David, Brown said: "It’s all about her warped mind. Jodie has convinced herself that David symbolises her potential for future happiness.

"She’s lost the plot a little bit and truly believes David is the answer to all her wants and needs - which obviously isn’t reality! She’s just completely hooked on that idea now."

According to Brown, Jodie is motivated by revenge, along with her desire to be Shona. "Jodie idolises Shona so much that she literally wants to step into her shoes, take over her life and know what that feels like," Brown continued.

"By taking over David, the house, the role with Harper - she genuinely wants to know how it feels to be Shona."

"She loves her sister, but she wishes Shona had treated her differently throughout her life. There’s a deep need to get her own back and have some sort of revenge," she added.

"As much as she cares about their relationship, she’s willing to do whatever it takes to get the happiness she feels she deserves."

With Jodie wanting every aspect of Shona's life, it leaves David at the centre of her plans, with Brown saying she sees him as "the answer to everything".

"She’s convinced herself that if she gets him and takes over that life, she’ll finally be content," she added. "Little does she know that probably wouldn't be the case at all."

Next week, a showdown between Jodie and Shona will see paramedics and police rushing to the Platt house after gunshots are heard.

The tense sense come after Jodie's dark plan is finally exposed, as Brown teased: "When pushed, you just don't know what she’s capable of.

"She has a lot of dark secrets, she's seen a lot and she has a genuinely sinister side to her. She’s driven herself completely crazy with this huge fantasy. It’s not rooted in reality anymore, she’s completely lost her marbles."

Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
