Coronation Street star Jack P. Shepherd has confirmed that his character David Platt will be back to his mischievous ways after he embarks on a relationship with Kylie Turner in a forthcoming storyline.
Last month, it was revealed that David and Kylie (Paula Lane) are to tie the knot later this year in a shock plot twist, which begins when the pair get to know each other better in Tenerife.
The storyline kicks off next week when David tells Gail and Audrey about a cage dancer named Candy who he met while on holiday. However, unbeknown to his family, he is actually referring to Kylie - who has been working in a seedy club abroad.
Speaking about David and Kylie in an interview with All About Soap, Shepherd explained: "Each of them knows exactly who the other one is. However, David's getting a bit of a thrill by inventing this whole 'Candy' character for Gail and Audrey's benefit. He's really just waiting for Kylie to arrive in Weatherfield so they can cause a big stir - it's all extremely calculated."
David later proposes to Kylie by text message before she returns to the cobbles and they finally come clean.
Shepherd added: "She goes over to Gail's and that's when we get the big reveal. Gail's totally horrified when she realises David's engaged to Becky's sister - she thinks she's a commoner! Needless to say, Gail rapidly kicks them both out of the house."
Gail's discovery of David and Kylie's relationship will air early next month.
