David (played by Jack P Shepherd) was drugged and raped by Coronation Street newcomer Josh (Ryan Clayton) after they enjoyed a night out drinking.
The hairdresser was left shaken and horrified by what had happened to him and has been struggling ever since.
Last week, fans of the long-running ITV soap saw David threaten to tell the police about Josh.
However the mechanic hit back, insisting they would not believe him.
David was then considering self-harm as a way to deal with the aftermath but changed his mind at the last minute.
In upcoming scenes, viewers will see David struggle even more and become aggressive.
He is set to knock out Gary Windass (Mikey North) as he spirals out of control.
Fans are no doubt desperate for David to speak out and open up to someone.
And, Tina O’Brien, who stars as Sarah Platt, has hinted he could turn to her for support.
“It’s quite a solitary storyline,” she explained.
“Usually there are a few people involved but this is all about David coping on his own with what has happened to him.
“It’s interesting to see how David’s behaviour affects everyone else. We’re all trying to work out what’s wrong with him because he’s behaving really weird.”
Tina went on to add: “I think Sarah will be there to help David when the truth comes out.
“I like doing things with Jack when the characters are actually getting along. It’s good fun.”
Meanwhile, her character looks set to become engaged to Gary in upcoming scenes.
Speaking about Gary and Sarah’s relationship, the actress said she hoped they would get their happy ending.
“I think it might take a while for them to get back to normal after everything he’s done to her,” she told the Daily Star.
“It would be lovely for Sarah and Gary to have their own home, but at the same time, I’d miss the Platts so much.
“I love it when we get to do scenes with all the Platts. I just go, ‘This is real life.’ It’s a bit noisy and messy, it feels real.”
Coronation Street continues Monday on ITV at 7.30pm.
