A CORONATION Street fan-favourite’s life hangs in the balance after a major inferno at the Platt house.
Soap fans have been left fearing for the iconic family as the Weatherfield property went ablaze on Monday night.
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.
After Max and Shona entered the burning building to save Lily, Max was left trapped inside.
During Tuesday’s visit to the cobbles David watched on in horror as a fireman entered the house to search for the teenager.
He was later pulled out but rushed to hospital in a critical condition and unconscious.
David was later told by a doctor that Max was placed in an induced coma before relaying the news onto Shona.
He told her: “He’s in a coma. His lungs were damaged and he couldn’t get any oxygen.
“So they’ve had to put him in a coma.”
David added: “He couldn’t breathe in there.”

The emotional Coronation Street episode ended with David in tears at Max’s beside as he pleaded for him to wake up.
He said: “I’m sorry. I’ve just been so stupid. I wasn’t thinking.

“Please just wake up and just… I don’t know, give me a bit of grief, just tell me how uncool I am and I don’t know anything.”
In teary scenes, he added: “Just wake up.”
Last month it was revealed how Paddy Bever was bowing out as Max – with the actor hinting his character would leave in dramatic scenes.
