We may be one step closer to finding out what makes Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances Brown) tick in Coronation Street.

Since her arrival in January, the character has proved to be quite the enigma. From her kleptomaniac tendencies, taking a number of bizarre items - including a picture of Bernie Winter-Alahan (Jane Hazlegrove) and a book belonging to Brian Packham (Peter Gunn) - to trying to seduce brother-in-law David Platt (Jack P Shepherd), it's clear that she's deeply troubled.

It seems that her behaviour stems from the fact that sister Shona (Julia Goulding) has had what she perceives as a wonderful life, while she was left to care for their unwell father.

She served a sinister smile when she nabbed a shotgun from Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard), and quickly squirrelled it away with her other stolen items.

Last week, Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien) told brother David (Jack P. Shepherd) that Jodie was the one who attacked her in April, and that she was aware of a trinket box that she was keen to keep concealed.

When he returned home, David ransacked the living room in search of the box to no avail.

Having retired to bed, his daughter Lily (Grace Ashcroft-Gardner) wandered downstairs to locate her confiscated console. She reached under the sofa and pulled out the box - her eyes widening as she discovered the gun.

In today's episode, David and wife Shona (Julia Goulding) were otherwise preoccupied by the return of their daughter Harper following seven months in hospital.

The Platt clan had organised a surprise welcome home party, which was disrupted by the arrival of Jodie. She explained that she'd told the police about assaulting Sarah, and hoped to stay on the cobbles until her court case.

Lily approached her aunt, ensured nobody could overhear, and asked about the weapon. Jodie quickly claimed that it was just a replica, and that it couldn't actually cause any harm.

Later, Shona asked a reluctant David if they could give her sister another chance and allow her to stay in their home. He begrudgingly agreed, though that could all be about to change.

Lily was seriously concerned about what trouble Jodie could bestow on her family, and sitting down to chat with her dad, revealed that she'd found the gun.

He was left stunned by the revelation, but what will he do?
