David's agony

Shona’s doctor gives the exhausted dad shocking news

When Shona was moved to a specialist unit in Leeds, devoted David was still determined to visit every day.

Though his wife – who was shot in December – has been out of a coma for a while now, she no longer recognises him, and David has been warned it could take up to a year to see an improvement. But David has vowed to see Shona daily, no matter what.

‘He’s adamant he’ll be there every step of the way – he’s not giving up on her,’ says Jack P Shepherd, who plays David.
