DAvid and Kylie!!!

It would take some very stupid writing.

Not all of us find sensationalist drivel in our soaps entertaining. There are plenty of other dramas on TV for that. Soaps are meant to be a slice of real life - albeit nowadays they tend to be an enhanced version of real life - not fantasy. The way the Callum storyline has been depicted it would be fantastical to bring him back now.

Coronation Street is far better when it pays attention to characterisation and its 50+ years of history to tell stories we can identify with, not stunts and big twists that get people talking for five minutes and are then forgotten.

Yeah but atleast those twists get people talking, give me that over Kirk and Beth anyday. Corrie needs something (not necessarily the theory I mentioned) but something. Whether its a new family, a twist or simply a better balance on comedy and drama.

It needs better quality writing and storytelling and to get rid of the poorest actors; it needs the humour to be more subtle and clever; it needs character-led storylines instead of plot-led storylines where characters are changed willy nilly to fit more and more outlandish plots; it it needs to stop ruining formerly good characters (such as Gail, Eileen, Carla, Peter, Tina etc) with poor writing and/or over-exposure; it needs to pull right back on the murder storylines and stunts because the more often they happen the less impact they have; it needs to give Gail back her strong personality and Eileen her likeable personality; it needs to have proper repercussions for storylines instead of everything going back to normal within a couple of episodes.

It needs to stop giving so much screen time to Tracy!!!

Coronation Street has revealed this heartbreaking first look at David Platt's final moments with his wife Kylie.

Show bosses have announced that Kylie will be sensationally killed off this month in a tragic storyline twist which is being kept under wraps.

While exact details of the drama to come are scarce, one thing's for sure - the loss of Kylie will affect David more than anyone else on the Street.

Needing closure, David decides to say his last goodbye to Kylie at the chapel of rest as she lies peacefully in her coffin.

This is also the official final on-screen Corrie appearance for Paula Lane, who went above and beyond by agreeing to play dead for the tear-jerking scene.

Coronation Street bosses revealed Kylie's death storyline for the first time yesterday (July 2), confirming that tragedy will strike shortly after she and David decide to start a new life away from the cobbles.

The Platts agree that they need a fresh start after months of drama surrounding Callum Logan and his murder, but just as they're preparing to say their goodbyes, Kylie dies unexpectedly.

Corrie won't be revealing exactly how Kylie dies until the episode airs, providing an element of surprise for viewers when they tune in on the night. I am not holding my breath!!!

Kylie's final week on Coronation Street begins on Monday, July 11 on ITV.

I doubt it will happen but I would love Becky to come back for the funeral ...

Could anyone explain to me why David seems to be giving a fist bump? Is he hitting the hearse? Or is it just the camera angle? Count me among those who would have found it better as a complete surprise/twist!

if max accidentally kills her as some on line chatter suggests copying enders that is poor stupid writing

Never thought of that Please, scriptwriters, NO NO NO

[tammyy2j]

I am disappointed she is being killed off but it is the only way besides prison to part her from David and the kids

I wish the show had kept her death a surprise spoiler
