Brand new Coronation Street pictures show the dramatic moment David Platt catches up with Kylie's killer Clayton.
Heartbreaking scenes in Friday night's episode of the ITV soap saw Kylie (Paula Lane) lose her life in shocking circumstances, after she was stabbed by Clayton amid her attempts to help her friend Gemma Winter.
The aftermath of Kylie's death will see David (Jack P Shepherd) turn vigilante as he struggles to cope with enormity of his loss, but his grief will take hold in a terrifying way when he comes face to face with Clayton, who is now on the run from the police.
Full of anger and wanting revenge, David impulsively grabs a piece of scaffolding from the builders yard and pins Clayton to the ground.
Viewers will have to tune in to see how the situation unfolds, but just how far will David go to make Clayton pay murdering his beloved wife?

Coronation Street delivered some of the most heartbreaking scenes in its history last week when Kylie Platt died in her husband David's arms, after being stabbed by thug Clayton.
While we always knew that Kylie was going to meet her maker, the finer details surrounding the dramatic episode and the weeks that followed were kept a closely guarded secret until transmission. Now her death has aired on screen, here are five of the biggest spoilers for what happens in the aftermath:
1. David vows revenge on Clayton
There have been so many references to his dark side recently that this one may come as no surprise, but the David Platt of old will rear his head again over the next few weeks. Despite his vow to Kylie that his bad-boy days were over for good, viewers will see David turn into a one-man vigilante as he becomes determined to exact revenge on Clayton for cutting Kylie's life so short.
Unable to deal with enormity of his loss, David will seize an opportunity when he spots his wife's murderer – who is currently on the run from the police – and attacks him. Viewers will have to tune in to see just how far he takes his revenge, but whatever the outcome, his actions are set to deeply concern his family. Will anyone be able to get a grieving David back on track? Or could he end up doing something he will live to regret?
Promising the drama in store for the next couple of months, Jack P Shepherd said: "He is angry at the world", the actor explained. "He and Kylie were so close to having the perfect life and now he is a single dad and a widower. He is lashing out and behaving in a way which really starts to worry his family."
2. Gemma is in the firing line
Clayton isn't the only person who David holds responsible for Kylie's death – her oldest friend Gemma will also find herself in the firing line too. Kylie was rushing to help Gemma from a dangerous Clayton's clutches when she met her fatal end, and David can't help but hold her partially responsible for taking his wife from him. Poor Gemma is set to feel the full force of Kylie's death as she battles with her guilt over the tragedy and later finds herself being blackmailed by Clayton – who demands that she keeps quiet over what happened.
Things will get even worse for the poor kebab shop worker when David angrily bans her from the funeral. He later sees sense and changes his mind, but what does the future hold for Gemma without her oldest pal? And could she be Clayton's next target if she doesn't keep quiet?
3. Gail breaks it off with Michael
They may have only just reunited, but Gail will be forced to take a step back from her relationship with Michael Rodwell next week in order to focus on her family. With a grieving David all over the place and a fragile Sarah still in hospital, it will fall on Gail to hold her children together, even if that means sacrificing her own happiness. A selfless Gail will assure Michael that her feelings for him haven't changed, but suggests they put their relationship on hold for the time being in order to concentrate on David and the family. Michael is understanding of her decision, but will the course of love ever run smoothly for these two?
4. Leanne and Nick grow even closer
They've been growing closer for a number of weeks now, so it will come as no surprise that Leanne is Nick's closest ally in his time of need. Nick has always been fond of Kylie so it's only natural that her untimely death will hit him hard, but, as ever, Leanne will step in to offer him a shoulder to cry on. Nick has not been shy about making his feelings for his ex-wife known, but still in the dark about Leanne's pregnancy, could Nick be heading for more heartbreak?
5. Sarah prepares to leave hospital
Poor Sarah has had a tough enough time of it recently, so news of Kylie's death is bound to hit her hard. Heartbreaking scenes next week will see David and Bethany visit her in hospital to break the news about Kylie's death, but a spooked Sarah immediately assumes that her murdered ex Callum had something to do it. After reading further details about Kylie's death, a fragile Sarah will soon prepare to leave hospital in order to fully support David, but will Bethany be able to convince her to stay until she's better?

Coronation Street producer Kate Oates has hinted that the show's big autumn stunt will centre around the Platt family.
David and his loved ones will continue to take centre stage over the next few months in the continued fallout from Kylie's death, but the recent tragedy looks set to have bigger repercussions than anyone could have imagined.
Speaking at a Coronation Street press event on Friday (July 22), Oates teased: "We are going to have a nice big stunt coming up in the autumn. It's traditional, you know!
"That will possibly be tied up with the Platts' story."
It seems that David (Jack P Shepherd) is one to watch in particular, as he struggles to come to terms with the loss of his beloved wife and becomes determined to get revenge.
Oates continued: "A story I'm really excited about and something we'll be playing really big in the autumn is David's story in the wake of Kylie's stabbing. What I'm interested in there is the journey that David will go on.
"In the chapel of rest scenes, which you will have seen on screen this week, we've basically seen David promise to avenge Kylie's death. However, he also promised when Kylie was dying that he'd be a brilliant parent and he'd look after the children and would protect them.
"Those two promises are in direct conflict with each other. One of those promises is based in love and nurture and protecting his children. The other promise is based on vengeance and hate, and on wanting to get his own back at all costs.
"What I think we'll see playing out over the next few weeks is which of those promises is going to win out and which one will eventually grow and envelop the other. I think you can guess which way I'm going to go with that one!
"I'm looking forward to seeing how that affects the Platt family, and to seeing Gail step up and being really strong. I'm also looking forward to seeing that family close ranks and be strong. So hopefully viewers will enjoy that too and we'll get some high drama from that."
Earlier this week, a tabloid newspaper claimed that Corrie will kill off a show regular in a terrifying explosion this autumn - although show bosses have so far kept tight-lipped on the storyline rumour.

Ex-Corrie star Paula Lane gives birth to baby girl
Congratulations to former Coronation Street star Paula Lane, who has given birth to her second child.
The actress, who played Kylie Platt on the ITV soap, announced the arrival of her baby girl on Twitter this afternoon (July 28).
"She's here! The latest addition to the Shaw clan is doing great. @SirTomShaw and I are feeling blessed and very lucky," Paula posted, alongside two emojis showing a baby and a heart.
Paula confirmed that she was expecting another baby with husband Tom Shaw back in January and later announced that she would be bowing out of Coronation Street for good.
In heart-wrenching scenes earlier this month, her character Kylie was killed just as she was preparing to leave the cobbles with husband David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd).
Viewers had been aware that Kylie would leave in a coffin, but details of the stabbing had been kept under wraps until transmission.

David Platt's life on the cobbles isn't about to get any easier in Coronation Street, if these new pictures are anything to go by.
These new on-set filming shots show David (Jack P Shepherd) getting a brutal beating by a man outside The Dog and Gun, the pub favoured by Clayton Hibbs (Callum Harrison) who murdered his wife Kylie.

David looks to be in serious pain as he sports a bloodied nose, while getting punched in the stomach. Ouch.
But just in case you're worried that Shepherd's lovely face has been damaged, he was all smiles afterwards as he pulled a cheeky pose to the cameras.

His character won't be feeling like smiling any time soon though, as he's struggled since losing his beloved wife. Kylie died in his arms after being stabbed outside the kebab shop once she defended Gemma from Clayton.
Before her shocking death was aired, Shepherd noted that the scenes were so "harrowing" to film that both he and Paula Lane couldn't stop crying.
"They warned me before I got the scripts that the scenes were very harrowing and emotional," he explained. "I have never read scripts before and cried, and I couldn't stop crying. When we were doing the scenes where Kylie does die, me and Paula were crying all the way through."

David's outlook on life is extremely pessimistic at the moment, as revealed during his well-written talk with Nick at the Platt kitchen table on Kylie's birthday.
It looks like Kylie's death is going to have a realistically long-term effect on him - an unusual occurrence in soapland!
