CORONATION STREET went up in flames tonight as a terrifying inferno ripped through the Platt household – but who made it out alive?
One of Coronation Street‘s most iconic homes was set ablaze and engulfed in flames in explosive scenes.
The inferno came after David Platt stole money from the notorious gangster Harvey Gaskell.
Harvey’s thugs were out for David after taking money which belonged to him – putting his whole family in danger.
Recent episodes have seen Lily given a threatening note and Shona get kidnapped.
But things got worse in Monday’s episode after a mysterious hooded figure pushed a petrol-soaked rag through the letterbox of No. 8.
Shortly after, the house was engulfed in flames and smoke.
Tim and Sally Metcalfe alerted the Platts who were in The Bistro celebrating Sarah Platt’s birthday.
Nick raced to save Toyah, who he was shocked to find unconscious on the kitchen floor, before escaping the raging inferno.
Meanwhile, with Lily Platt’s whereabouts uncertain, Shona and Max bravely charged into the burning house to search for her.
Shona just about made it out alive as she stumbled out of the house into David arms gasping for air.
Shona then told a horrified David that Max was still inside.
