If David has adopted Max legally, then Callum has no rights at all. None whatsoever.
Im sure you are right-if it was legal.
Im not saying it wasnt -but it seems
to be vague or off-screen.
If the adoption was done apparently
correctly but it turned out the facts
on which it was based were incomplete
or "misleading" would there be any
comeback?
re above - there is a procedure called
" adoption reversal" but very rarely used
in UK.
Where a stepfather wishes to adopt a
partners child from previous relationship
the court does not have to take into
account the natural parents wishes unless
they have "parental responsibilty" .
If so CAFFCAS arbitrates.
As Callum not mentioned until recently
and prob only Kylie knew who father
was-hes not likely to have PR.
In general -I find it re-assuring that
Courts are involved in the procedure
as hopefully some safe guard for
children.

So it sounds like if Max was adopted legally but without Callum's permission he might have a case (possibly with a bit of creative licence thrown in). :searchme:

Potentially, but I'm sure they'll just prefer to retcon it for the sake of the storyline and forget that the adoption was ever mentioned.
I can't see how Callum can realistically have a case against David that's strong enough for it to get to the point that David could almost lose Max anyway. Biological father is all he has going for him. He's never paid maintenance, never shown an interest until now, when Max is at an age that he can understand what's going on if he's removed from the family that he's bonded with and his half-sister. Callum is single, as far as we know doesn't have the support network that David has, and has a criminal record that's probably worse (and more recent) than David's. How can he prove a steady income exactly? And there was a big point made when Max came out of care that the social services didn't want to see Max moved again - but that suddenly changes after Max has had a steady home for several years now, just because a so far absent biological father shows his face (and is probably playing games because he knows it'll hurt David. He must know that David is better for Max or else he and Kylie would have taken Max with them on Christmas day.)
I don't understand how any court could consider Callum seriously for anything other than access, and probably supervised access at that.

Probably not in real life but this is a soap!
Possibly some of Callum's family will crawl out of the woodwork to support him, and do we know the extent of Callum's police record? According to this (http://coronationstreet.wikia.com/wiki/Callum_Logan) wiki page, he's only been to prison once for assaulting a judge. Given that was years ago, and if he's not been charged with anything since (despite being a known drug dealer), a good lawyer may be able to paint him as a more reputable figure than he actually is. Also, there's David's own sordid past to consider.

yes - they must have prepared some at least
plausible grounds for Callum to cite in
support of his case. It sounds as tho story
will run for quite a while and it couldn't
do that if it fell at first fence!!

At least Max's dad will show some interest in him and care for him in some way. I have seen that make a difference to children. He would have only tried to contact his dad later and been disappointed. Let the boy decide if he wants to see his Dad and he will soon realise what he is. . My friends sons told social workers they wanted to see less of their dad after he applied for more access. My friend did not expect that but kids have their own minds and had reasonable grounds to limit access further.

It depends when/ how and in what state.
She is Maxs mother and he will have
affection for her- no matter what.
She has got faults but has been made

How did Kylie get Max back after Becky him got from care? I remember David and Kylie fighting with Becky and Steve for Max
parkerman
22-01-2015, 16:52
It's a long story!
Kylie was awarded custody of Max in August 2010 but in October 2010, she went on holiday to Cyprus leaving Max with Becky and Steve. When Kylie returned she had a Greek boyfriend in tow and said she was moving to Cyprus permanently and taking Max. Steve and Becky decided to offer money to Kylie as an incentive for keeping Max. She agreed and demanded £20,000 for Max. After being paid, Kylie left Max at the Rovers and left for Cyprus. However, on the night of the tram crash, Max went missing and Kylie revealed to Steve and Becky that she had taken Max. Kylie demanded another £5000 for them to keep him. Becky managed to find the money by looting the Corner Shop safe and after being paid once more, Kylie left again.
On her release from Prison and return to Weatherfield, Tracy Barlow discovered that Steve and Becky had paid for Max and used it to gain custody of her and Steve's daughter Amy by blackmailing them. Kylie also returned again in March 2011, but this time engaged to David Platt whom she met abroad. David was unaware that Kylie had sold Max and believed Steve and Becky had taken him from her. Kylie continuously fobbed him off saying she didn't want Max and that he was better off with Steve and Becky. Steve anonymously reported himself and Becky to social services and Max was taken into foster care in June 2011.
In August 2011, Kylie decided she wanted Max back so she and David applied for full custody of Max and she visited him at his foster home in September 2011. The court granted custody of Max to Kylie and David and in November 2011, Max moved into 8 Coronation Street.

I tried to play the relevant part but the sound
was very faint and crackly and couldnt hear
what was said. I presume it was scene where
David is giving Lily her bottle and Kylie Audrey
and Gail are there.Could hear scene before&
after fine. I do use a mobile but dont normally
have problem with sound.
So found detailed spoilers in the thread for
23/09/13 on this forum. All it said on subject
is " David makes plans to have Lily christened
and to adopt Max" . I know spoilers aren't
the full episode. So I would be very grateful
if anyone who has played the scene could
let me know what was said & by whom.
Im finding this a very interesting storyline.
Thanks v much.

It was the scene in the hairdressers where David was giving Lily her bottle as you said MM. This was the relevant dialogue:-
David: "The adoption stuff came through this morning by the way."
Audrey: "Oh lovely! That means Max is yours just as much as Lily is."
That's all that was said about the adoption. The rest of it was about Nick being in a coma.

Coronation Street star Paula Lane has returned to filming today (March 25).
The actress, who plays Kylie Platt on the ITV soap, has been on maternity leave since November.
Lane revealed her return on Twitter this morning, confirming that Kylie will soon be back on the cobbles.
Show bosses also released the first picture showing Lane back at the soap's studios in Trafford.

Lane and her husband Tom Shaw welcomed the arrival of a baby boy on New Year's Eve.
Kylie's Coronation Street exit scenes aired on Christmas Day, as her husband David (Jack P Shepherd) kicked her out of the Platt house after learning that her ex-boyfriend Callum Logan (Sean Ward) had become her drug dealer.
David later regretted his rash actions, but he was unable to get back into contact with Kylie as she fell completely off the radar.

When Kylie does return to Weatherfield, she will be shocked to discover that David and Callum have become locked in a bitter custody dispute over her son Max. Another surprise will be that Callum is dating David's sister Sarah (Tina O'Brien).
Coronation Street's producer Stuart Blackburn said in January: "[Kylie is] going to come back right in the middle of the custody battle and she'll come back realising that because of her using drugs, because of her disappearing act, she might be losing Max forever.
"So there's big stuff for her. She's going to have to get her act together, she really is."

Gemma was first introduced last year when Kylie revisited her past at the dodgy Dog & Gun pub.
In between scenes, Lane was spotted showing off her baby pictures with her co-star Dolly-Rose Campbell, who plays the role of Gemma.

Kylie will reappear in a few weeks' time
Coronation Street's producer Stuart Blackburn said in January: "[Kylie is] going to come back right in the middle of the custody battle and she'll come back realising that because of her using drugs, because of her disappearing act, she might be losing Max forever. So there's big stuff for her. She's going to have to get her act together, she really is."
In real life, Lane and her husband Tom Shaw welcomed the arrival of a baby boy on New Year's Eve.
I am not looking forward to her return. I hope Callum sticks to Sarah and does not still want Kylie. I am really liking Callum and hope they show a different side to him settling down on the street and giving up his drug dealing.
Coronation Street's David Platt makes a drastic move that he may live to regret next week, fleeing Weatherfield with Max and Lily.
David heads to Liverpool with the family's passports and makes plans to leave the country, convinced that this is his only chance to stay one step ahead of bad boy Callum Logan following their custody battle for Max.
Here, Jack P Shepherd - who plays David - reveals the gossip on an eventful week for his character.
David will soon find out about Callum and Sarah's secret relationship. How does he discover the truth?
"David is on his way home when he sees Callum going in the Platts', so he gives them a minute and then he goes in, knowing Callum is upstairs. At first he plays along with Sarah, letting her think he doesn't know anyone's in the house, then he basically says, 'Look, I know he's upstairs'.
"So Callum comes down, all arrogant, having obviously just decided to brazen it out. David's not happy and he throws Callum out, but Callum's cocky attitude to it all sends David into a panic."
Does David feel betrayed by Sarah?
"Yeah, but it doesn't really surprise him - nothing surprises him when it comes to Sarah. Obviously previous to this, he was beaten up by Callum. He never really told anyone exactly what happened, but he says to Sarah, 'You do know what he did to me?' She says yes, but along the lines of, 'Maybe you deserved it'.
"Clearly what Callum's told Sarah is that he just gave David a bit of a slap, but obviously we know it was a lot worse than that. Sarah's not in on the whole thing. She doesn't know quite how bad Callum can be, but David thinks she knows what Callum did to him and that worries him even more."
Is David also still worried after Callum told him that he'd see him in court over Max?
"Yeah, it's really knocked him for six. He thought he had a chance with the mediation, but when it comes to something as serious as court, he doesn't think he'll have a leg to stand on with not being Max's real dad and Kylie not being around."
What makes David decide to flee?
"It's a last resort. He thinks he's going to lose Max anyway, so he might as well run away and try to get the kids abroad where no-one can take them off him."
What is David's long-term plan?
"He thinks he'll set up shop abroad, so he packs his hairdressing scissors, their passports and just goes. He hasn't thought it through properly at all, so he ends up in Liverpool trying to get a flight out of the country."
How does it go?
"It's very spur of the moment. He packs their bags, then they get on the train and just set off without really knowing what to do next. They end up staying in a hotel in Liverpool while David hatches a plan to get some plane tickets. But he has to wait a day or two to get tickets to where he wants to go and that's when Callum gets wind of what David's up to.
"Max calls Callum because Callum's given him a mobile phone. He says he doesn't want to go away."
There's a point where David snaps at Max, isn't there?
"Yeah, Max doesn't want to go with David as he doesn't want to leave his dad. He says to David, 'I don't want to be with you, I hate you', which really hurts David because he'd do anything for Max.
"But then David's temper starts getting the better of him and he takes it out on the kids. He shouts at Max and then Max starts to become a little wary of David, which is pushing him further into Callum's arms. David brings it all on himself really and turns Max away from him because he's feeling the pressure."
Is doing a runner going to make things even worse for David?
"Yes of course, but at the time David can't see this - he isn't thinking straight."
How does David react when Max disappears?
"They're in Liverpool town centre, so David is frantic as he tries to look for Max. He's pushing Lily round in the pram and he's getting desperate. He can't leave Lily to run looking for Max, so he's asking people if they've seen him and no-one has. He doesn't know what to do and he's about to go to the police, but then his phone rings and it's Callum. What David hears then is a real game-changer."
How badly will this affect David's chance of getting custody?
"It won't look good in court at all. All Callum has to do is tell his solicitor that David tried to jump the country with his kid so he would never see his son again."
How have the viewers reacted to David's custody storyline?
"They're all on David's side. I think everybody is - they want to see him keep the kids. Personally I want Callum to get custody of Max because it's more interesting. It would tip David over the edge and I like playing angry David. I think the viewers still like to see angry David every once in a while. I do like playing family David and the comedy David, but it's good to have a bit of both."
How will David react if he loses Max for good?
"I think he'd take it pretty badly because he dotes on Max and has done since he came into his life. He's the one person who's been a constant for Max in recent years and who has always unconditionally loved him. Kylie left Max and before that tried to sell him, Callum's never had any interest in being in his life up until now, so David seems to want him the most. Losing him now would be devastating."
We know Kylie is back soon. Is finding her still on David's agenda?
"I think she's always in his thoughts, but at the minute he's pushed it to one side. His priority is the kids and that means him keeping hold of Max and him not going to live with his drug dealer dad."
Coronation Street’s estranged couple David and Kylie Platt are going to fake a romance when she returns to the cobbles.
They have been apart ever since Kylie started taking drugs and then disappeared at Christmas.
But when she shows up in Weatherfield again, she makes it clear she wants to save her marriage.
And when she realises that they face losing custody of Max to his biological dad Callum Logan, she agrees to pretend she’s been reunited with David in a bid to win the battle.
While David is happy to play the game, it soon becomes clear that Kylie wants a real reunion
http://www.soapsquawk.co.uk/media/2014/December/25_12_CORO_DAVID_KYLIE_CALLUM_03.JPG
After days of faking it on the cobbles, Kylie tells David: “I’m finding this really difficult, you’re being nice to me one minute and cold the next.
“When you kissed me, didn’t you enjoy it just a little bit? Don’t you want it to be like it was before? I won’t let you down again, I swear.”
Confirming the fake romance, David simply tells her: “It’s all a game.
“I can’t risk it, three months time or a year, what will you mean then? There are two young kids at home depending on us.”
Coronation Street's David Platt will fake a romance with his estranged wife Kylie in a bid to beat Callum Logan in their custody battle.
Ever since Kylie disappeared last year, viewers have seen David (Jack P Shepherd) face several problems with Callum (Sean Ward), who wants full custody of his biological son Max.

However, when Kylie (Paula Lane) returns to Weatherfield, the Daily Star reports that she will team up with David in a bid to stop Callum getting his own way.
Although the pair's reunion is only for show, Kylie will soon find her old feelings rekindled as she becomes determined to win David back.
After the former couple are forced to share a kiss, Kylie questions David over their future, but is left devastated when he tells her he can't risk getting back together.

only if they've been caught and its on record I guess?
to our knowledge Kylie uses but has never been caught in pocession?
although Callum has been in prison but we assume it was drug related?

He went to prison for hitting a judge apparently. Not great when a fellow judge will be deciding the fate of his custody case, but perhaps better than being convicted of drugs charges...

hmmm I guess he must have been up in front of that judge for something in the first place? that could have been posession and he ended up hitting him?

It probably was, but if he hasn't been convicted of any drugs charges I don't know if it'll be taken into consideration in the custody case.
Coronation Street: David Platt's dark past to be dragged up in court
Coronation Street bad boy Callum Logan will have a new card to play later this month when he discovers details of David Platt's evil past.
Upcoming episodes will see the two men go head-to-head at a tense custody hearing as they continue to battle for Max.
David (Jack P Shepherd) is hopeful that the Platts' relatively stable home life will work in his favour at the hearing, but he is soon left shellshocked when Callum's lawyer starts listing all of his past misdemeanours in front of the judge.
While David has no idea where Callum got the information from, his niece Bethany is responsible for letting the sordid gossip slip to him.
Sean Ward, who plays Callum, told All About Soap: "Callum's been grooming Bethany. He's worked his magic on her to the point where she doesn't even realise how much she's letting slip.
"She's told him about all the terrible stuff David's done in the past - the Ecstasy in the teddy bear, trying to kill his brother, pushing his mum down the stairs. It's like gold dust!"
Taken aback by how his case is suddenly going wrong, David soon makes matters worse for himself by losing his temper in court.
Ward added: "Callum's lawyer carries out this character assassination. It opens David's eyes to the fact he actually could lose Max and he really panics.
"David's just so wound up that he's coming off badly, even when the things Callum has done in the past are so much worse. Callum's happy with that - even though the judge has already said that it wouldn't be ideal to remove Max from his family home full time."

Coronation Street airs Kylie Platt's return scenes this fortnight as she heads back to the cobbles to check on her family following the devastating fire at Victoria Court.
Kylie has been absent from the Street since hitting rock bottom at Christmas, and while she has since taken steps to turn her life around, it won't be easy for her to regain the trust of the troubled Platt family.
Here, Paula Lane - who plays Kylie - chats about returning to work at Coronation Street following maternity leave.
When do we first see Kylie again?
"You first see Kylie lurking on the Street - I had no lines. When I was reading it, I was thinking, 'Oh thank goodness, I don't have any scripts to learn!' (Laughs.) Kylie spots Bethany with Max and Lily. I raised the point that Bethany could be David's new girlfriend for all Kylie knows. This girl is pushing Kylie's children around, so I tried to make Kylie's reaction quite quizzical as she's wondering who this girl is."
Why has Kylie decided to come back now?
"It's because she hears about the fire at Victoria Court. You'll see that she's staying with her friend Gemma, who's sick of putting her up on her couch. Kylie is saying, 'I want to go back home but I'm frightened to'.
"Kylie is aware that David has been looking for her for a long period of time now. It takes a while for her to pluck up the confidence to knock on the door of the Platt house again, because so much time has passed. But Kylie has got herself clean - she reveals that she's been clean for three months."
Has Kylie been with Gemma the whole time?
"No, she's been in London for a bit. I think she slept on Callum's couch for three nights, spent a few weeks with Gemma and then went off to London. Now she's back with Gemma again. She's a bit of a gypsy - she hops around!"
What is David's reaction when Kylie does eventually turn up on the doorstep?
"At first David is relieved that Kylie is alive, safe and well, but then the anger comes out. Kylie points out that David did kick her out, but he's angry that she just disappeared afterwards and there was no communication whatsoever. There's a lot of mixed emotions, but the way the scripts are written is brilliant. David obviously still loves Kylie, but he's still mad at her and they're very much torn at this point."
Does Kylie want to reunite with David?
"Yeah, she does. She wants her family back. She tells David, 'I'm clean now, I want you and the kids and we can make it right'. But I think David has got past that point, so it's quite heartbreaking for her really."
Does Kylie explain why she went completely off the radar?
"What she says to David is, 'You kicked me out, you said that I couldn't be near my children in that state, so what did you want me to do?' She does say that she's glad David did that, because otherwise she might still be on drugs or worse. Kylie is thanking him for making her see sense.
"They've had to come apart and have that time away from each other, but it can only be a good thing because it has made David realise how much he loves her, even though he might not admit it at first."
How does Kylie feel about Callum's recent behaviour and the custody case?
"Kylie hasn't really been aware of what's going on. Obviously Gemma has known, but she hasn't told Kylie about it. Callum has got his feet well and truly under the table and he hasn't stopped since I've been away. As soon as Kylie hears that Callum has been on the warpath, the fight comes out in her instantly. She decides that she's not going to let Callum have her son."
Callum was only intended to be a short-lived character, so are you glad that Sean Ward's contract was extended in the end?
"Yes, it's fabulous - he gives such a different energy to the show. I think you grow on this show and just a little bit of experience on it can either make you or break you. With Sean, he's just grown so much from that first audition that I had with him.
"We were on set the other day and our characters were just glaring at each other - like two dogs that could go for each other at any moment! The atmosphere and the energy that we have together is great. I'm really pleased that they've extended his contract."
Have you been watching the show feeling sorry for David?
"They've never been off, have they, the Platts? I've been talked about so much since I've gone, I wish I had a fee for every time my name was mentioned! (Laughs.) I've dibbed in and out of the show and I've felt really sorry for David. I think Jack has played it absolutely brilliantly. I guess it's not so easy when you have your bad boy role taken away from you, you hand the baton to somebody else and then play the doting dad. But I think Jack has taken to that really well and it's good that he never loses some of that bad boy quality as well.
"Kylie and David are just fabulous together. I couldn't do this show without Jack, I really couldn't - and I wouldn't want to. I think that's what made the transition of coming back to work so easy, because I knew I was coming back to that family."
Is Kylie won over when Callum insists that he deserves access to Max?
"No, Kylie knows the workings of Callum better than anyone. He never wanted Max from day one, so why want him now? It's too late, really.
"What's quite sad is that Kylie never thinks that she's a good mum herself. She doesn't necessarily think she deserves to have those children now either, but she knows they're much better off with David because he's so devoted to them. The story kind of becomes about David's fight for the kids, because Kylie knows that she can't just come back and suddenly say she wants them."
Is there a part of you that would like Kylie and Callum to get back together?
"Well, I've just read some scripts which had something in that had me gasping in shock. I won't say too much, but there's a game to be played and it's very, very exciting. Callum's weak spot is Kylie, and what's to come is very well-played..."
How do the other characters react to Kylie's return?
"Max is really, really excited to see Kylie initially, but then the consequences of her disappearance come to light and Max is quite cold towards her. Any time she tries to put any rules in place, Max's excuse is, 'You're not a real mum, when are you going away again?' He knows how to hurt her, really.
"Gail isn't happy either. When they first see each other again, Gail just walks in and Kylie's like, 'Hi Gail'. Gail replies, 'Hi Gail, after everything that's happened over the past few months?!' Kylie literally just waits for all of Gail's anger to come at her and she hides behind David a little bit.
"There's also tension between Kylie and Sarah, especially because Sarah and Callum have got this new relationship and Kylie is not too pleased. She tries to warn Sarah at first, telling her that she'll need a good counsellor afterwards! Sarah doesn't listen because she just wants to have a good time with Callum. It's great - I love Tina and we work really well together."
Are you hoping that Kylie and David do work things out?
"I'd love them to get back together, but then what happens is that after six months, you've had a happy marriage for a while and you want some drama to add to that. It's a fab partnership, though, and I don't think I'd survive without the Platts. I need to keep my feet under the table there really, let's be honest!"
Now that you've been back for a little while, does it feel like you've never been away from the show?
"Kind of! It was only a four-month gap. I think my last day was November 10 when I finished to have my baby, then March 25 was my first day back. It was a nice enough amount of time, to be honest. It wasn't too long for me to get too used to being at home - I just about had the skills left to learn a script!"
Has motherhood changed you?
"I guess it has, to be honest. I'm much happier, and also more chilled because you just have to be, otherwise you just drive yourself round the bend. It's a lovely place to be and I feel like I've achieved quite a lot. Being a mum is like the ultimate role, so I couldn't ask for more really."
Is Kylie coming back with a new look?
"Not apart from the blonde hair, which I was very lucky enough to keep. I didn't really ask permission! (Laughs.) That was my gift to myself when I left for maternity. With Sarah coming back and having quite similar hair, I thought they were going to ask me to change it back - but apart from that it's the same old me, really.
"I didn't want Kylie to come back with a whole new wardrobe because it wouldn't be realistic. The delights of skinny jeans three months after having a baby are not great, lucky I managed to stick in the wobbly bits!"
Has it been tiring to juggle everything?
"God yeah! This job is relentless anyway, so it was always going to be a case of taking it day-by-day. You just have to try and keep calm about it. There's good days and bad days. Sometimes I'm in for 12 hours, sometimes I might be home by the afternoon. There's no real set routine but that's what makes it quite exciting."
Did you see Jack while you were away?
"Yeah, me and my husband and Tom went over for a night's stay at Jack's just after my son Arthur was born, which was really lovely. Jack and his fiancée Lauren came to visit us as well.
"It's lovely to keep in touch outside of work. Me and Jennie McAlpine have had a couple of play dates, because obviously she's a new mum too. I also went to see Cath Tyldesley just after her son Alfie was born and she's doing really well too."
Do you know much about the year ahead for Kylie?
"They've eased me in initially, but it's going to get very busy. I've just signed a new 12-month contract, so it's going to be quite a big year. I'm going to have to really get my 'actress' head on and keep my two roles very separate from work and home. It's a massive year ahead, which is quite exciting and quite scary at the same time!"
Coronation Street’s David Platt goes in search of wife Kylie next week after a disastrous meeting with court officials.
The Weatherfield dad is left on the back foot when one of the court officials visits to investigate him as part of his custody battle for Max and things don’t quite go to plan thanks to his meddling relatives. Determined not to lose the court case and Max to Callum Logan once and for all, David goes in search of Kylie.
When he turns up at Gemma’s house she claims not to have seen Kylie. But as Kylie hides away inside, will David buy Gemma’s story? Kylie will eventually return to the cobbles and Paula Lane, who plays her, says she knows she needs to face up to her actions.
She said: "Kylie is aware that David has been looking for her for a long period of time now.
"It takes a while for her to pluck up the confidence to knock on the door of the Platt house again, because so much time has passed. "But Kylie has got herself clean - she reveals that she’s been clean for three months."
Asked what David’s reaction is to seeing her again, Paula added: "At first David is relieved that Kylie is alive, safe and well, but then the anger comes out.
"Kylie points out that David did kick her out, but he’s angry that she just disappeared afterwards and there was no communication whatsoever.
"There’s a lot of mixed emotions, but the way the scripts are written is brilliant.
"David obviously still loves Kylie, but he’s still mad at her and they’re very much torn at this point."
Coronation Street’s Jack Shepherd: Everyone wants David to fight Callum!
Before Kylie appears had David resided himself to the fact he was never going to see her again? No, he still carried on trying to find her, in fact he’s actually on the phone to missing persons when she actually turns up at the house. He’s giving missing persons a description: five foot five, brown hair, brown eyes - and then he opens the door and she’s there. He’s like, ‘that’s weird I’ve just described you.’
What’s his first reaction when he sees her on the doorstep?David doesn’t say anything when he first opens the door. He just stares at her. Kylie then comes in and they have an argument.
Kylie says she’s off the drugs, does David believe her? He doesn’t. I think she is off them, but he doesn’t believe her. He just doesn’t know what to believe because obviously she’s not been there for six months. She says she hasn’t even been with anyone, but David doesn’t know if she’s been with another guy and he’s got bored and chucked her out. He doesn’t know what to believe. So at the minute he’s just taking everything she says with a pinch of salt. As long as she’s back it’s good for him with the court battle that he’s got on at the minute. David’s worried about Kylie and drugs because he doesn’t know the full extent of what she’s been doing while she’s been gone for six months. It’s all a bit of a grey area, she just says she was down in London for a bit and was with a mate so he’s still not 100 per cent whether she’s off the drugs or not so they could crop up at any minute. He’s worried.
Do you think David will ever be able to forgive her for just leaving without a trace? Yeah probably. I think it’ll take time though because she has left him in a world of pain with bringing up both kids and still trying to work as well. It’s been difficult for him but time heals wounds doesn’t it, so maybe he can eventually forgive.
And what is Kylie’s reunion like with the kids? I think they are so overwhelmed they shout out ‘Mummy, mummy.’ And she gives them a hug and a kiss and says, ‘I’ve missed you.’
How does Kylie react after she finds out the access Callum has to Max? She’s surprised, she’s like, ‘What’s he doing here?’, because last time she was on the Street David was chucking them both out for doing drugs in the house on Christmas Day. So when she sees him in the house that’s a big thing, let alone that he’s taking Max - that’s really unusual. So she’s like, ‘What’s going on?’ and David says, ‘You don’t know do you? He’s got access to him, it’s all your fault, he wouldn’t have if you’d been here.’ And she thinks it’s terrible. Kylie wants to start again as a family but David is like, ‘right, we’ll pretend to be a family so that it looks good in court but we’re not a family. I’m just doing this for the kids’. He’s just pretending for the sake of the children.
Is David worried that he might lose Max if he doesn’t get back with Kylie? Yeah, that’s the whole reason why he decides to do that because he thinks he’s got more of a chance, he doesn’t have a cat in hells chance of getting Max if he’s not with Kylie because at the end of the day he’s just a guy, he’s not Max’s real dad.
What does Kylie say to David to convince him to give their relationship another go?She’s like, ‘Please, please, please, please, please, please, please… I won’t do it again. Please. I love you, I love you. Please, please.’ She’s begging him. She doesn’t know what else she can do.
Do you think David would consider it? It’ll take a lot more than just words. Again he’d have to really see that she’s committed and means what she says.
How do Callum and Sarah react when they think David’s giving Kylie a second chance? Callum’s like, ‘Ah you’re mental to believe her, she’s crazy. She’s off her head, you’re mental as well.’ Sarah is like, ‘Uh we finally meet, you’re the cage dancer, the druggy.’ And then Kylie is like, ‘Well you got pregnant at thirteen and you ran off with someone else’. So they have a slanging match – it’s safe to say they don’t get on.
And how does Kylie react when she thinks David is giving her another chance? She’s over the moon, she’s buzzing. She’s happy and then David says, ‘Whoa, we’re not completely back on track. I’m doing it for the kids, surely that’s obvious?’ He tells her he can’t do this anymore. It’s destructive.
Do you think there’s any chance now of David returning back to his darker ways? There should be, there have been lots of opportunities for him to do so but he hasn’t as of yet. Everyone keeps saying to me on the street, ‘When are you going to fight Callum? When are you going to push him over?’ And stuff like that. Callum’s not got his comeuppance yet. But hopefully he will.

does gemma know callum is going for custody of max and seeing sarah, she could have told kylie as they are in contact
I am sure she would although I don't remember Callum saying anything to her on screen
I'm hoping that Kylie says that Callum isn't Max's biological dad - his mum showed Gail a photo of him at Max's age and he had very dark hair - like has now. I know it's possible but it would make an interesting turn of events - there hasn't been a DNA test has there?
Kylie did put Callum on Max's birth certificate as his dad, I don't think there is any doubt that Callum is the dad as Kylie and Callum were an item then.
Corrie’s Paula Lane: I want to try my luck in Hollywood
Coronation Street’s Paula Lane has admitted she dreams of leaving the cobbles to try her luck in Hollywood. And the actress - who plays Kylie Platt - says she’s likely to make the move before her son goes to school.
Paula says she wants to take the risk of trying new acting projects in both Britain and America, and would love to be part of a period drama.
She told the Sun: “I have made no secret of the fact that, one day, potentially, I would like to go on and do something else, put a period costume on. “I’m not that comfortable with the celebrity world and I was always used to being a jobbing actress.
If Jack was to leave, for example, I would quite possibly follow him out the door. “We’re Team Platt. I feel I belong with the Platt family and can’t imagine where I would stand elsewhere on the Street.
“There can be life after Coronation Street – I’d gladly take the careers of Suranne Jones, Sarah Lancashire or Katherine Kelly in a heartbeat.
“I am a homebird, but before Arthur starts school, I’d love to go over the pond to Hollywood. “I would rather take the jump and see what happens, than stay on Corrie because it feels safe. You only get one life and if you don’t try, you’ll never know...”
I guess the Platts won't be a happy family unit for years to come then .... :(
Coronation Street star Paula Lane is keen for her character Kylie Platt to get back into fans' good books.
Kylie recently returned to screens following a five-month absence and vowed to move on from recent troubles by getting her life back on track.
Viewers saw Kylie start taking drugs late last year after she reconnected with her old flame Callum Logan, but she has managed to get clean again during her time away from Weatherfield.
Speaking on ITV's Lorraine today (June 17) about the reaction to Kylie, Lane commented: "I guess the audience do love her. They love to hate her, they hate to love her. I think it's just a constant pull where she lets the audience down in a way, and that's what challenges me.
"I was in a way quite shocked with the whole drugs storyline. I thought, 'Crikey, can they forgive her another time - especially after the affair with Nick?' There's been so much going on, but you have to go with it because it is make-believe.
"I just hope they are able to forgive her really, because I did feel missed with the amount of tweets that I got and messages that would just say, 'We want you back, we really miss you'. It's very flattering."
Kylie's break from screens was due to Lane taking maternity leave. She welcomed the arrival of a baby boy named Arthur on New Year's Eve.
Referring to her co-stars Jennie McAlpine (Fiz Stape) and Catherine Tyldesley (Eva Price) also becoming mums, Lane laughed: "We had a crazy baby boom last year where everyone was just on the sly sort of saying, 'I'm pregnant', 'No I'm pregnant', 'I'm pregnant'! We were thinking, 'Crikey, what's going on?'
"But it's fabulous - it's like an exclusive club. You clock each other in the morning and you're secretly thinking, 'Wow I'm really tired' and so's the other person, but we just get on with it and we're so looked after here.
"We are like a big family at Corrie, so we just take everyone under each other's wings and nurture each other."
Nothing to forgive as far as I am concerned as the whole storyline sucks but that is not Kylie's fault, there must have been other plots to think of to introduce Max's dad than making Kylie become a drug user

I can see a DNA storyline coming up, it's about to happen in Enders and we all know what happens if it's in Enders!!!!!!!!!!!

Jack P Shepherd QUITTING Coronation Street? David Platt could be victim of villain Callum Logan’s plot
The soap actor revealed his contract was up this month just after the live shows...
Jack P Shepherd could be quitting Coronation Street.
The actor recently said his contract was due to be renewed this month right after the live show.
The actor may have let slip a major casualty of the Coronation Street live episode - David Platt himself.
Speaking to MirrorTV Jack revealed: “My contract is up in September, after the live…,” and he seemed unsure whether he would sticking around only adding: “I think so,” when pressed if he would renegotiate a longer contract.
Does that spell bad news for the of the Platt family?
Jack said that David's family are “at rock bottom” and no one is safe from evil drug dealer Callum Logan who has been on a reign of terror.
Kylie and David are fearing for their lives as well as their family’s so how far will he go to protect his loved ones by putting himself right in the centre of danger.
Jack suggested that David was just as 'capable of murder' as Callum could be and after the villain’s threats to those that matter most he could take the law into his own hands.
Paula Lane, who plays Kylie Platt, added that for Callum: "It's just a game to him, he'll do anything, I don't think he even wants Max he's just out there as a toy to him."
In the lead up to the live episode Max gets hit by Nick driving a van, and decisions made after the dreadful incident will have big repercussions for the whole street.
Who knew Kylie Platt would have the biggest moment in Coronation Street's live episode? With so much focus on her husband David's battle with Callum Logan, we were all taken by surprise as she struck the deadly blow that killed her bad boy ex on the night.
Corrie characters do tend to have a shelf life once they've committed a murder, but will that be the case for Kylie? Here Paula Lane answers that question and more in her first big chat since the live show.
How did you feel when you were first told about Kylie turning killer?
"I was shocked! I was shocked anyway about Sean Ward leaving, never mind that I was going to do the deed. I didn't feel too worried because I've always felt really looked after on the show and wanted here, so I didn't feel like it was a signal to say, 'Bye bye, you're going now'.
"I was reassured that the storyline would allow more scope for stories for Kylie, so I definitely haven't been too worried about it."
So it will lead to even bigger drama for her?
"Yes, all I feel it provides me with is more drama and more stories to play out, so I can't wait. It's literally pushing the boundaries as to how long you can keep a character for after they've committed such a big crime. It will stretch the character and that's really flattering, the fact that they do see so much more material for her."
Kylie could also escape justice because there were so many others out to get Callum!
"Yeah, it could be any number of people. They've definitely painted the picture that there were a lot of people out to get Callum. Todd and Tony torched Callum's car, so that could put them in the frame. There are a lot of people who were accomplices, not just Kylie. Yes she whacked him on the head, but plenty of people wanted to!"
What would you say drove Kylie to do it?
"Kylie could hear shouting outside the house and she went in quite tentatively to gauge the situation, but then it escalated really quickly. Sarah got up to run to the door then Callum was on top of her. The first thing Kylie clapped her eyes on was one of the builders tools, a wrench, and in that split second she picked it up and hit him.
"What she could hear from outside sounded so horrific to Kylie, so it was just spur of the moment when she saw him on top of Sarah. She hit him on the back of the head to get him off her. I don't think she intended to kill him, just to stop him."
Does she feel guilty in the aftermath?
"Kylie's just in shock. I think it's the most challenging storyline I've ever had to play out, I mean you don't murder somebody every day! I've had to play it very numb. Sarah is hysterical and crying whereas Kylie is more in shock, so I've had to strip it right back.
"Kylie gives the game to David - it becomes his task to get them out of it. It's been quite difficult playing Kylie's numbness and shock. You won't see her crack until about 3 weeks' time."
Were you nervous about making the murder scene look real?
"I was really nervous, because Callum and Sarah were in the middle of a fight scene. We couldn't fully determine what position they were going to end up in, so I had to get myself in the right place. Sean's quite long, so I had to get my legs in the right position to be able to reach to hit him. You've got to trust your co-stars an enormous amount doing a live episode. There was a lot of trust between us all."
How did you feel about taking on the live episode in general?
"The nerves were okay - they bubbled away underneath. I trained in theatre so I know what it's like to go live. If anything this has really inspired me - I've been given such a fix and I absolutely loved it.
"A lot of people said it would be the hardest thing I'd done, but actually having one script to focus on has been great. It's amazing how you really do retain it. I took it scene by scene and tried not to let it swallow me up. On the night I just tried to be in control and take it one step at a time."
Will we see a different Kylie moving forward?
"Yes, I think in a way something will have died in her too that night. Maybe a light has gone out. There's a haunting that's always going to be there and it's David who's got to try and carry her through.
"But as the weeks go on, lots more things come into play. They start turning on each other, it just becomes one big crazy fight for survival and it's a mess."
Sounds like another great story! So will Kylie and David struggle to deal with the burden of their secret?
"They're trapped in the secret and it just escalates till they can't control it anymore. There are too many people involved - Sarah, then unknowingly Gail, the kids, Nick, their friends. Suddenly it's not just them covering up this secret, it feels like they're having to cover their tracks with half the street."

Marion visits Kylie and David
© ITV
Tonight's episode sees the police come calling at the Platts', asking about Callum's whereabouts. How do Kylie and David react?
"Kylie's so on the edge, but it looks like Sarah's going to be the one who gives the game away. Then Kylie's desperately trying to hold it together, for Sarah as well. Callum's mum Marion turns up too. That really gets to Kylie as she's a mum too. Seeing the worry on Marion's face really ramps up the guilt for her."
Just to be sure - this isn't the end of Kylie on the show, is it?
"No, there's a lot more to come for Kylie. This storyline is going to provide a lot of drama for the Platts. But morally if you kill someone in soapland there has to be justice in the end, so I guess I'll just have to see what happens. I think it's great that, like me, the viewers will be left wondering for a while!"

id say paula will be leaving next year
Shame ... I know thespians want to do different things but I wish storylines would be taken into consideration when they first join a soap ... such a shame to always break up families to accommodate an actor´s departure :(
It doesn't sound like Paula intends leaving yet though. She's just had a baby so I'd have thought she'd be more likely to stay in a stable job for the moment.
I wonder if Tony will be blamed when it's discovered he torched the car?

I always thought the actress Paula Lane was
very sensible and realistic about the acting
profession when interviewed -so would agree
about stable job.
But its been posted- as comment not in an
interview- that she and her husband are
starting an acting school so she would be
leaving.I dont know much.about her husband!!
Please dont start ROLFing - but the more
shocking revelation to me- was Jack P Shepherd
was doing similar but not leaving( Academy of

re Tony - probably!!

I don't think she intends to just yet, but I think she's realistic that while it opens up stories in the short term, in the longer term, her character has been given a shelf life. I only hope that they play it out when Paula decides to go rather than at a pace of their choosing. I do think that a prison sentence would be the only way to write Kylie out, as I don't think she'd leave the kids again after everything and I don't think they'd want David to lose them. It's prison or death. When the house of cards falls down, Kylie will probably say it was just her in self defence and go to prison, leaving the door open for her to possibly return in the future. A manslaughter charge is less of a corner to box a character into than a murder one.
As I said, I hope Kylie only goes on Paula's terms. This show should have learned its lesson (from Tracy) where turning popular characters into murderers is concerned, but Stuart Blackburn doesn't seem to have heeded it. First Rob and now Kylie. Perhaps it was another factor in his sacking.
Fortunately on this occasion, for the character, it's forgivable - Callum was a baddie and not only that but he was attacking Sarah. I thought he would rape her. But most likely she'll still have to have some kind of punishment. It isn't EastEnders.
I think Paula is more likely to want to leave than Jack, though. Paula is more of a Michelle Keegan type, whereas I think Jack is probably a Sammy Winward in that he's typecast in the role. Michelle hasn't had a problem getting other work, while we've heard nothing of Sammy. Jack also has more financial responsibilities than Paula; 2 kids with his fiancee and a child maintenance bill for a son with a one-night stand. He seems like one of those that's there for the duration.
Paula did say in an interview when she was pregnant that she'd already decided when she'd go, but that the baby could change things.

Just to say its more disbelief than dislike!
Was probably ok when playing 10-12yr old
not but not mid-20s.
Also his family mainly Gail have to be
progressively dumbed down to
facilitate his being "comic" and to cover
their lack of concern!
In a small.street the neighbours would
be more involved!
Im interested to see what KO does with
several characters inc.David?!
This isnt real life -if it was my main concern
would be a person of such uncertain.
temprament having care of children. Max
may get his meds on time but more to
child care than that!
So you will continue to enjoy the performance
and I will fast fwd -if nec. I might at some

Kylie Platt shows her cunning side on Coronation Street next week as she tricks Gemma Winters into thinking that Callum Logan is still alive.
The desperate Platt family are currently trying to cover their tracks after Callum was killed by Kylie in the show's dramatic live episode this week.
Things get worse for Kylie, David and Sarah on Monday as Callum's loyal sidekick pays them a visit, hoping for answers over his mysterious disappearance.
Gemma fears that dangerous Denton has Callum and wonders whether the Platts know anything. When her questions become increasingly awkward, a shaken Kylie (Paula Lane) slips out of the house for a moment and sneakily uses Callum's phone to send Gemma a text.
Although Kylie's text reassures Gemma that Callum is okay, Sarah later brands her sick for using a dead man's phone to get herself out of trouble.

Gemma stood by Callum through all his dodgy dealings
Wanting an end to all the drama, David disposes of Callum's phone in the canal and hopes that things can return to normal. However, with Sarah's tense mood already arousing concern on the Street, it seems that there's no chance of that happening anytime soon.
Disappointed that it's always the cliche route of someone sending a text from the dead person's phone. Will Callum's mum be receiving flowers next?
I think they'd be better off if they'd just chucked the phone in the manhole with Callum.
paula contract up in may
If she indeed leaves at the end of her contract, I presume that the truth will come out and she either gets sentenced to prison for manslaughter or she flees ... David and Sarah might get suspended sentences for perjury ...
Coronation Street news: Police quiz the Platts over Callum
The Platts are put under the spotlight in next week’s Coronation Street as the police start investigating Callum Logan’s disappearance.
Of course David and Kylie know exactly where he is - under the annexe that’s being built for Gail Rodwell!
Desperate to have the building work in the annexe finished, Kylie announces to Jason, Gary and Tony that she’s going to spend the day helping them.
In the Rovers, Todd and Tony quiz Sarah wondering if she’s seen Callum. Worried that Sarah might crack under the pressure, David steps in and tells them that Callum’s gone to ground and nobody’s seen him.
Back at home Kylie stares at the concrete floor covering the body and breaks down in David’s arms, admitting that they’ll never be free of Callum as he’ll be in their house forever.
Meanwhile the police call at No.8 and quiz David, Kylie and Sarah about Callum’s whereabouts explaining that he’s skipped bail. David assures them they’ll be in touch if they hear anything while Kylie and Sarah struggle to contain their fear.
Consumed with guilt, the girls wonder if they’d be better off confessing all to the police but David insists they stick to their story.
Coronation Street star Paula Lane has revealed that the Platts will do whatever it takes to cover up their killer secret.
The family have been trying to cover their tracks after Callum was killed by Lane's character Kylie in the show's dramatic live episode in September.
Episodes airing next week will see David forced to tell another lie when Gail overhears the tail end of an incriminating conversation between the pair.
The latest turn of events will unfold after Gail's garage party takes a very unexpected turn, as a paranoid Kylie believes she can smell Callum's rotting corpse underneath them.
Although a furious David implores Kylie to keep hold of her emotions, they are left with some explaining to do when Gail hears him mention a prison sentence.
Discussing how far the Platts will go to keep their secret, Lane said: "Oh I think quite far. It's just now about making sure that Sarah isn't the weak link.
"It's certainly not going to get out through Kylie. She can certainly keep it together for the sake of her children and she's not going to blab. I think she's got that under control and every day that goes by it's getting that bit easier."
Lane also admitted that while viewers are worried Kylie's killer actions could spell the end for the character, she is looking forward to finding out how the story unfolds.
She said: "I've had a lot of people concerned for the welfare of the character, saying does this mean that Kylie's going to go. They know there's going to have to be some sort of progression.
"I've had fabulous feedback from the live episode, people just saying they loved it and the fact that the story now continues is great.
"I wouldn't say I'm worried. I'm more intrigued about how the heck they're going to get me out of this and if they can. If they can't then it's more drama. There's scope for numerous different endings so we'll just have to wait and see what the writers come up with."

I am not sure if my memory serves me right, but did Fiz's husband John STape not shove a body under concrete? I can't remember what happened to that story? So has this story line been done before?:hmm:
I just dont' get why, they did not own up and say how CAllum was strangling Sarah and KYlie helped her?
The live episode was really good thou, and SArah acted her socks off!
I just wish the drains would block and it would be traced back, and we can watch KYlie knee deep in c**p trying to move Callum's decayed rotten body out, it could be screened after 9 o'clock.
Hey I should be a script writer!!!:cheer:

Colin dropped dead in John & Charlottes
presence ( after a beating by Ben Fiekding)
They were blackmailing him.!
John realised that he would be suspected
of murder so wrapped him in a carpet and
buried him in concrete under the factory.
He hadnt killed him -in fact.
About a year later there was problems with
drains!! John realised that the body would be
found and got a job with Owens digging gang.
He managed to move it - with Fizz's help and
put it in the canal. It was found and John &
Fizz were put on trial for murder.
Fizz had helped John to pretend to be Colin.
Also commtted fraud by pretending to be
Colins wife and claim the legacy keft by
Colins mum Joy - who John had" accidently"
killed!!
So short answer. - Body not still under factory!!

Yes, it is coming back to me now. thanks.
Coronation Street’s Paula Lane has confessed that she feels more sexy since having her son.
Most women will see their body change after having a baby and Paula agrees, but she believes her figure has changed for the better. And Paula, who plays killer Kylie Platt in the soap, says she’s never felt so sexy!
Paula explained: "Now I see my body image completely differently and I love it. I actually feel more sexy since having a baby. That might sound a bit crazy, but it’s true. “I feel more of a woman and I’m embracing the fact that I have curves in certain places I didn’t have before.
"It’s changed my body shape for the better - clothes fit me now. Before I’d be like: ’Why is this thing hanging off my hips?’"
The actress returned to work after just 12 weeks and was thrust back into the thick of the action as the Platt family took on Callum Logan.
That led to Kylie killing Callum and Paula admits there was a moment of doubt about her future in the soap.
She told the Sun: "I have no idea how the storyline is going to end, but I’ve been assured this is not an exit for Kylie. It does open up the door for other possibilities, though.
"I always think about the future. And of course I want to explore different avenues. I’m not bothered about fame - I’d rather have experiences, and I’m not scared to take a risk.
"But on the other hand, I’ve got responsibilities now with Arthur, so we’ll just see what happens."
It'll be all change at Coronation Street next year as the show's new producer takes over, but Jack P Shepherd has played down claims that the cast are feeling nervous.
Current Emmerdale boss Kate Oates will be crossing the Pennines to run Corrie from January, sparking a flurry of press speculation about what she may have planned.
Shepherd, who plays David Platt, spoke to Digital Spy at the RTS North West Awards on Saturday (November 13) and laughed off recent press reports of unease behind the scenes.
Asked if the rumours are true, he replied: "No, not really - it's the same rumours that we hear whenever a new producer comes in. We hear there's going to be changes and then the producer gets in and says: 'Look, that's all nonsense.' It's the same every time.
"One thing that made me laugh was when a report said Kate is going to ban cast from Twitter, but yet she's a producer at Emmerdale and they're all on Twitter and it's fine!
"It's all obviously just fabricated in the papers, but they have to print something I suppose. I've only heard good things about Kate and what she's done at Emmerdale is great, so we're all looking forward to having her on board."
David and his family are currently at the centre of a major storyline, as they deal with the aftermath of Callum Logan's shock murder.
Callum has been buried underneath Gail's granny flat at the Platt house, leaving fans eager to find out when he'll be dug up again.
Discussing the dark storyline, Shepherd laughed: "A lot of people are questioning if he's even dead! A lot of people think he got out down the tunnel into the sewers or something like that - and I have no idea.
"I don't know when the big reveal will be. It could be next year, the year after, or it could be 10 years into the future - who knows? It's a story that they can obviously keep going for ages.
"Justice will have to be done at some point, but who goes down for it, I don't know. Gail could find the body or Jason could find it - the police might never have to find it.
"If the police did find out, I'm sure they'd have to find some evidence for who actually put Callum there. Yes, it's our house, but we were having building work done at the time and a lot of other people on the Street didn't like Callum. There's a lot of different endings they could think of for that story."
With tensions running high, Shepherd also warned fans not to expect a perfect family Christmas for the Platts - no surprise there then!
He said: "We've just about finished filming Christmas now. I'm nearly always in the Christmas ep because it's David Platt's birthday. The Platts aren't the main focal point of Christmas, but we are in the episode and there's lots of turmoil. It's happy in some parts but not in others, so it's a mixed bag."
Now that Kylie knows about Sarah's pregnancy she has a choice to make and David's not going to like it. We spoke to Paula Lane about what's coming up for the Platts.
Why is Kylie suspicious about Sarah’s behaviour?
She’s suspicious initially because she’s worried that Sarah might be telling the police about the murder of Callum. She finds her on the phone and everything’s a bit hush hush, so she knows there’s something not quite right, she doesn’t suspect it’s pregnancy though.
How does Kylie feel when Sarah tells her she’s pregnant and that it’s Callum’s?
Really shocked and really hard to process in the beginning, obviously she’s not pleased, it’s like another hurdle to cross now.
Will Kylie keep her secret?
Kylie does keep the secret, they hold it back and then Kylie encourages Sarah to tell David herself, so they go back to the Platt’s and reveal all.
Sarah seems to want a termination but Kylie seems to be against this, why?
Yeah, she sees that Max has no traits of Callum, and it’s not the baby’s fault that Callum is the dad.
Is there any element of Kylie that feels like Callum’s baby could somehow make up for his murder?
Yes definitely, she says “a life for a death” so when Kylie goes to the abortion clinic to get Sarah she says maybe this is our chance to make things right.
What does David say when he finds out his sister is carrying Callum’s baby?
He’s not very happy at all, actually he’s furious she kept it from him, and he basically says that to her and says ‘that’s it now we are done’.
How does Kylie feel when David walks out?
Upset mainly, she just wants to make it right she wants family peace again but it just wasn’t expected for him to actually leave.
Is it Kylie’s support of Sarah that is causing problems in her relationship?
There’s wounds that have healed a little bit that any slight glitch could break it all open again and I think this is another test. David just wants him and Kylie on their own and now this is going to be a constant reminder of what happened. So her showing support for Sarah, he can’t quite fathom that and he didn’t realise she had that in her.
Does it scare her that David’s reacting so ruthlessly?
Yeah it does scare her, obviously she’s aware that he has a past, and that’s kind of the way he operates she doesn't know which way he can go sometimes.
Will she start wishing she hadn’t encouraged Sarah to have the baby?
I think once they've got their head round it they just get on with and then they try to have a nice family Christmas.
How do you think Kylie is coping knowing she’s a murderer? What is keeping her going?
What’s keeping her going is definitely her children Max and Lilly and David’s support, in his own way. As each day goes by it does get easier and easier, the annex is finished now and Gail’s tucked away in there so everything’s healing a little bit.
Do you think viewers want Kylie to get away with it?
I do get the impression they want her to get away with it, but obviously it’s out of my hands.
What’s the best/funniest response you’ve had from the public about this story line?
It’s all just people saying “careful of that wrench” or “watch yourself with those tools” anything that implies me being a murderer really. It’s been a very good reaction actually people were very impressed with the live which has been a great compliment.
Could it get any worse for the Platts?
I think there’s always a scope for more drama with the Platts. they seem to like to throw a lot of drama at us. But as an actor that is great.
Congratulations to Coronation Street's Paula Lane, who is pregnant once again.
The actress revealed on Twitter today (January 15) that she and husband Tom Shaw are expecting their second child.
"News just in... The new addition to the Shaw clan will be arriving summer time and @SirTomShaw and I are thrilled! #doubletrouble," she wrote.
Last time Paula Lane was pregnant, she took a lengthy break from her long-running role as Kylie Platt in Corrie.
Could another hiatus from the cobbles be on the way for Kylie?
Paula and her husband Tom will celebrate their second wedding anniversary in May - having tied the knot at Leeds Cathedral in 2014.
Their baby boy Arthur arrived on New Year's Eve (December 31) that same year.
I guess that her departure will be connected to Callum´s body being found .... sadly more upset for David, Max and Lily :(

I quite like her!
I find the actress Paula Lane an interesting

Could do well long term -outside Corrie!
so I wish her and husband and family every

What the SWs will do with the characters?!!
Could even write write preganancy into

Children only go to school in soaps when they are a) being bullied b) get ill and have to be picked up or c) when someone forgets to pick them up.
Other than that they can go away for weeks - even months - at a time and no-one notices or even cares.
Congratulations to her. However its hard on script writers when people have one baby after another in a short space of time.

I think my practical sympathies would be reserved
for a small business with only a few employees
who have 2 seperate employees with close or
over lapping pregnancies.
Soap SWs routinely create unintended
pregnancies with paterniity "issues" just to
save bother of differerent sort of storyline
and create a bit of publicity.
This is one actress -who tho important to Corrie-
Has 2 real pregnancies which spread over nearly 3
years. Its only imo but its part of SWs job to
deal with changes in the actors lifes??!

Of course it is, but as stories are planned up to a year in advance any unexpected absences are bound to cause a bit of a headache for the writers.
At least with a pregnancy they get a few months warning. Sudden absences due to sickness etc must be a nightmare.
I am sure the SW have started to create the Callum dead reveal story ... I think Kylie will go to prison , that way she will be written out with an option to return at some stage, if Paula wants to, the kids will stay with David and Gail, David and Kylie divorce, then David will marry Jenny Bradley and they will live happily ever after :D

:)Any thoughts that Callum somehow survived and escaped seem to have gone ,would have been a good twist in the storyline imo. Either way, how come David appears to be agreeing to Gail's underfloor heating wishes. His true to form character would have bought her a 18 tog duvet and electric blanket or a fan heater.

Paula Lane to leave Coronation Street
17:39 - 9 FEB 2016
Coronation Street actress Paula Lane is to leave the show after six years playing troubled Kylie Platt.
Paula will be at the centre of a huge top secret storyline which will be on screen this summer. She will finish filming as she goes on maternity leave in June.
She notified ITV of her intention to leave the show a few weeks ago, the producers and writing team discussed her exit at the story conference and came up with an exciting storyline for her departure which will coincide with the timing of her maternity leave.
Writers and storyliners are now working on the details of her dramatic exit which will focus on the climax of the storyline which saw Callum Logan murdered and buried under Gail’s granny flat in the live episode last September.
Kylie and David buried Callum in the manhole during Corrie's live episode
Producer Stuart Blackburn said:
“Paula is one of the most talented and dedicated actors I know and in Kylie she has created an unforgettable Corrie character.
"I for one will miss both the character and the actor and on behalf of all at Coronation Street wish Paula all the love and luck in the world and I'm certain that Paula's future will be full of continued success.”
Paula Lane said:
“This has not been an easy decision for me to make. I have enjoyed every moment of my time on Coronation Street and learnt so much in the process.
"I have an amazing on-screen family who have become friends for life so this decision was not taken lightly. But sometimes you just have to follow your heart and I am excited about what the future has to offer both personally and professionally.”

Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd on 16 years as David, Paula Lane's exit - and the film he's made with Ben Price
The Corrie actor reflects on his history in Weatherfield and a new role away from the ITV soap
http://images.radiotimes.com/namedimage/Coronation_Street_star_Jack_P_Shepherd_on_16_years _as_David__Paula_Lane_s_exit___and_the_film_he_s_m ade_with_Ben_Price.jpg?quality=85&mode=crop&width=620&height=374&404=tv&url=/uploads/images/original/105231.jpg
For Jack P Shepherd, this is an anniversary week. He’s just marked 16 years on Coronation Street, which means that the 28-year-old actor has spent over half his life playing the role of David Platt.
“Yeah, I started Corrie when I was 12, so I’ve been David longer than I’ve been just Jack, so that’s weird,” he admits. “It is over half my life, but it’s not like I’ve spent the time in prison, do you know what I mean?”
You can get a lesser sentence for murder, though, I point out. He laughs, good-naturedly. “That’s true. But it’s a good job and it’s a nice life. Although I am about to do a night shoot from nine at night until six in the morning. Can you believe that?”
Ah yes, the dreaded nightshoots, this one set to feature yet more drama for the Platts, who since September 2015 have been concealing the fact that the corpse of drug dealer Callum Logan has been stashed down Gail’s manhole at number eight. But secrets (and cadavers) never stay buried for long in soapland and Shepherd doesn’t mind keeping irregular hours to tell the next chapter in his screen family’s saga.
“If it’s raining or snowing then people can get irritated. But if it’s dry and we’re cracking on and what we’re filming is good, then we’re usually in high spirits. Plus The Masters are on tonight, so we can watch some of that until midnight. We only have another six hours to go after that.”
Another chuckle, something that comes readily to Shepherd, but not so much to David, who has traditionally got by on sarcastic sneers and malevolent plotting. In fact, Shepherd even laughs when I cheekily note the amount of dead bodies dumped beneath Coronation Street landmarks, this latest being mere yards from where John Stape got rid of Colin Fishwick at the Underworld knicker factory.
“Well, soaps always have these type of things that get repeated. It’s real life but blown out of proportion a little bit. You’ve got to have some drama, haven’t you? We all share the same storylines: Brookside did it, EastEnders have done it too. So these things get passed around – whoever’s flavour of the month gets a body buried under their floor,” he jokes.
However, this latest cliffhanger plotline has proved to be bittersweet, seeing as it’s led both to a Best Actor nomination for Shepherd at this year’s British Soap Awards and the announcement that Paula Lane, who plays his screen wife Kylie, is to leave the show. Shepherd, though - who in his decade and a half in Weatherfield has already witnessed the departures of both David’s dad Martin and a previous incarnation of brother Nick - is sanguine about what lies ahead.
“If I come away with an award then that would be a bonus. As for Paula, it’s not a sad thing. She wanted to leave, so it’s not like they wanted to get rid of her. And obviously, she’s going off to have another child and be a mother for a bit. And then she’ll probably get back into it.”
But will he miss the relationship between David and Kylie? “Yes, they’re a good partnership. I’ve always said that. So it’ll be a shame when that goes. But there might be somebody else – who knows?”
http://www.radiotimes.com/uploads/images/original/105233.jpg
Corrie itself has always thrived on double acts and just as important to David as his marriage is that sibling bond with Nick (played since 2009 by Ben Price), which has survived Nick sleeping with Kylie and David orchestrating a van crash that left Nick with a permanent brain injury (keep up! This is real life blown out of proportion, remember!)
And that David-and-Nick partnership has now taken a fresh twist with Shepherd starring in a thought-provoking short film called Taubman, written and directed by Corrie co-star Price. The movie, set in the near future, sees Shepherd feature as an officious bureaucrat who refuses to give a passport to a Jewish piano tuner (played by former Corrie star Ian Puleston-Davies).
As well as offering a timely allegory about such issues as asylum, immigration and freedom of movement, Taubman also gives Shepherd the opportunity to flex very different acting muscles to the ones he uses playing David.
“There’s a scene at the end where I have the tables turned on me and I almost start to cry. And because I’m so used to Corrie’s cameras not picking up the tears in your eyes, I felt like I had to give it the full guns, so that everyone could see it.
“When we’d done a take, I felt like I needed to go again. But Ben insisted that he’d seen everything he needed to and that I should trust him. And he was right. When I got to see the finished film, I was a bit speechless at how good it was.”
http://www.radiotimes.com/uploads/images/original/105234.JPG?width=620
And was it easy being directed by big brother? “I really didn’t think about it like that,” he says. “It didn’t enter my head that he was my brother by day and my director by night. It just worked. And we had a lot of laughs making it. We’d finish work at seven in the evening and we’d cleared it with ITV to then rehearse the film at the studios until midnight. Then we’d go home and learn our Coronation Street lines and come back to do our actual jobs.”
So has it inspired him to follow in Price’s footsteps? “Not to direct. I’ve never fancied it. I think I’m too vain! If I was directing, I’d be wanting to say, ‘no, change places with me. I’ll do it. Watch what I do'.”
Of course, the current trend among stars of the Street is to temporarily leave Weatherfield behind and pursue outside projects – David Neilson, Les Dennis and Brooke Vincent among those taking on roles in the theatre. So will Taubman be the start of a break away from David Platt?
“Obviously, if something came about and it was too good an offer to turn down, then of course I would want to do it. And, as you say, there are a lot of people who are going off to do something else while not leaving the show. They’re coming back. So, that’s an idea.
“I have loved being at Corrie, but doing this film with Ben has opened my eyes. It’s been entered into film festivals, so if it does well, we could be at the Oscars.”
So might he be swapping the Soap Awards for the Academy Awards? “Well, there’s a slim possibility,” he says, with the David-style tone of a man with a plan. “But we’re not getting carried away!”

Coronation Street spoilers: David Platt set for sizzling new romance as Kylie leaves Weatherfield?
Coronation Street's Jack P. Shepherd has teased a new romance may be on the cards for his character this year.
The 28-year-old actor has hinted that his stylist alter-ego David Platt could nab himself a new love interest when his wife Kylie Platt (Paula Lane) leaves the Cobbles this month.
Asked if he'll miss Paula when she bows out, he said: "Yes, they're a good partnership. I've always said that. So it'll be a shame when that goes. But there might be somebody else."
But, although he'll miss the chemistry he has with the brunette beauty on-screen, Jack is convinced Paula - who is leaving to have her second child - will likely return in the near future.
He said: "As for Paula, it's not a sad thing. She wanted to leave, so it's not like they wanted to get rid of her. And obviously, she's going off to have another child and be a mother for a bit. And then she'll probably get back into it."
Sarah is really struggling with the Platt's secret and the pressure is just getting too much for her
Meanwhile, as Jack celebrates 16 years on the soap, the handsome star is open to spreading his wings but is adamant he'll never turn his back on the show for good.
Asked if he would leave the programme temporarily to do other things, he told the Radio Times Online: "If something came about and it was too good an offer to turn down, then of course I would want to do it."
Coronation Street star Paula Lane has revealed that she and husband Tom Shaw are expecting a baby girl.
Paula is set to leave her role as Kylie Platt mere weeks before she's expected to give birth – but the planning is already under way.
"'I did have a tough labour with [son Arthur]," she told OK Magazine. "I was desperate to do hypnobirthing.
"I think I panicked – it was the shock of the pain, although you're not supposed to call it that with hypnobirthing.
"It was a full-on labour and it hit me like a ten-ton truck… This time around I am planning on being much more calm! I'm going into hospital."
Paula also opened up about her impending departure from Corrie, and why now is the right time to leave.
"If Kylie was a piano, I've played every single key on that board," she quipped. "I don't think you could do much more than she has done!"
She continued: "It has been a blessing of a job. I just knew I wanted to try my hand at something else. I'm hearing good things so I'm excited about the future."
Paula and her husband Tom Shaw celebrate their second wedding anniversary next month.

Jack Shepherd refuses to meet with Coronation Street boss
Coronation Street’s new chief Kate Oates has been having meetings with the cast to discuss the future of their characters, but there’s one person she just can’t pin down – Jack P Shepherd.
The actor, who plays David Platt, says she’s asked him to have a meeting with her but he knocked her back because he doesn’t want to have an input in what happens to his alter ego.
Instead he trusts the show’s writers to come up with even more drama on the cobbles.
Jack explained: “Our new producer, Kate Oates, has tried to have a meeting with me but I said no, I don’t ever want to chat to producers.
“I don’t want to get involved in my storylines. I didn’t want to go upstairs for that chat! I never want to go upstairs!
“I don’t want the input, it’s their job to give me it. If I wasn’t happy I would say something, but I’m lucky enough to be part of the Platts and we’re always there or there abouts on screen.
“Any lines that don’t sit right we change on the day, on the floor, but the writers know David a lot better than I do.”
Next week Jack finds himself in the thick of the action as Callum Logan’s dead body is finally discovered. However, Jack admits that the discover has come rather early.
He said: “We first got told the body wouldn’t be found for five years but it’s actually been 6 months. But it was always going to have to be a big reveal.
“The story had run its course with us just looking shifty and nervous. We couldn’t drag it out. There’s more drama in uncovering the body.”

Paula Lane waves goodbye to Coronation Street after filming final scenes as Kylie Platt
Paula Lane has waved goodbye to Coronation Street after filming her final scenes as former tearaway Kylie Platt.
The 30-year-old actress is bowing out after playing beautician Kylie since 2010.
The actress, who is expecting her second child - a baby girl - with her husband Tom Shaw, took a photo of her final time in the makeup chair at Corrie and posted it on Twitter with the words “last day on the street today! A whole host of emotions buzzing around right now! Last ever make up complete.”
And she marked her departure by sharing a photo on Twitter of the Platt family with the caption #wearefamily.
She also shared a photos of her with her on-screen hubby Jack P Shepherd who plays David Platt, with the words “what will I do without this one?! @JackPShepherd88 #soulmateofthestreet #K&D” and a photo of her walking along the cobbles for the last time.
Paula recently held her leaving party at On The 7th bar, which is located close to the show’s ITV studios with a host of co-stars including Helen Worth who plays her on-screen mum Gail Platt and Catherine Tyldesley who plays Eva Price.
Paula’s exit, screened later this summer, will focus on the climax of the gripping storyline which saw Kylie kill Callum Logan in a sensational live episode in September.
Kylie whacked her evil ex Callum over the back of the head with a metal wrench after months of torment for the Platt family
David returned home and helped hide the body under a manhole in the Platts’ garage, which Gail had converted into a granny flat.
She said previously: “This has not been an easy decision for me to make. I have enjoyed every moment of my time on Coronation Street and learnt so much in the process.
“I have an amazing on-screen family who have become friends for life so this decision was not taken lightly. But sometimes you just have to follow your heart and I am excited about what the future has to offer both personally and professionally.”

Some of the cast have been filming a funeral scene and rumours are rife that Kylie will die ... as yet not confirmed though

I hope she gets a good send off, unlike Carla and - it seems likely - Jason.
Hope they don´t kill her off despite the rumours ... although that would probably be the only "good" exit they would write for her .. seems that the writers can only think of people packing their bags within 5 seconds of making the decision and away they go ... so sad :(

Prison or death are really the only way of believably parting Kylie from her kids. I'd send her to prison in the hope Paula would one day want to reprise her role.
i do not think they will go for believable

I can't see her leaving her kids behind again so either death or prison likely scenario
Maybe she will take the kids
Maybe she will take the kids
then david without the kids, can't see that

More and more rumours that Kylie is being killed off ... maybe by one of Callum´s mates or even Phelan ??? In one way this would be the best, prison would be the only other viable option to write her out for a long time ... for the children´s sake I would prefer her to be killed off, that way they don´t need to see her in prison and Max would not get bullied for having a mum in jail ...

Would she fake her death to avoid prison for Callum's murder?
David Platt is to be left devastated by the death of his wife Kylie - just as the couple finally find happiness.
With Tony Stewart in the frame for Callum’s murder it looks as though David, Kylie and Sarah are home and dry.
However Kylie is uncomfortable about letting an innocent dead man take the wrap for a crime she committed. She suggests the family leave Weatherfield once and for all and put the events of the past year behind them.
But their excitement and future plans are cut short by Kylie’s unexpected death.
The details of how Kylie dies are being kept under wraps so viewers can watch the events unfold on screen.
It was very emotional to film the scenes knowing that I would never return and her death has huge consequences for David and all the family.
– Paula Lane
Kylie’s final episodes will air the week beginning Monday 11th July.

Coronation Street bosses have dropped a massive bombshell on fans, revealing that Kylie Platt is being killed off.
The popular character will meet a tragic end later this month in a devastating storyline twist that producers are keeping tightly under wraps.
Kylie's final week on screen begins on Monday, July 11, when she suggests to her husband David (Jack P Shepherd) that they should leave Weatherfield forever.
She makes the life-changing decision as she is no longer comfortable living on the Street following the months of turmoil caused by Callum Logan's murder.

Kylie Platt's Coronation Street exit promo
© ITV
Unsettled by the knowledge that they've successfully managed to frame the late Tony Stewart for the crime, Kylie gets ready for a whole new life away from the cobbles with David and the kids.
Unfortunately, their excitement and plans for the future are all suddenly shattered when Kylie dies unexpectedly. But how?
Paula Lane - who plays Kylie - teased: "It was very emotional to film the scenes knowing that I would never return and her death has huge consequences for David and all the family."
Coronation Street is already ramping up the tension by releasing this brand new stylish promo trailer showing Kylie packing her belongings into a car, but as the mood switches, the vehicle is revealed to be a hearse.
https://youtu.be/atFvwSxtqUU
Kylie's devastated family and friends can also be seen in the sombre footage.
While Kylie's death has been officially announced by the producers, Corrie won't be giving away exactly how she meets her maker until the episode airs.
Lane filmed her final Coronation Street scenes last month and is bowing out from the show of her own accord to pursue new acting projects.
Digital Spy
I am sorry to see her go but it is the best way to conclude the Callum murder storyline :(
So it's official: Coronation Street's Kylie Platt will be leaving in a coffin.
We always thought that Paula Lane's popular character would either be heading to jail for Callum's murder or going on the run, but now Corrie chiefs have announced that she'll lose her life in a top-secret storyline twist.
Exactly what that story is won't be revealed until the episode airs later this month, but here are 9 of our early theories...
1. Murdered by Callum's friends?
Everything happens in the soap world for a reason. With this in mind, we can't help noticing that Callum Logan's friends are making a rather unexpected return to Weatherfield just in time for Kylie's final episodes.
Official spoilers have revealed that Callum's dodgy mates are back on screen next week. At first their only crime is causing hassle for Gemma Winter by demanding free food in the kebab shop. But could Corrie have actually brought them back for a much darker reason? If any of them found out who really killed Callum, we bet free kebabs would be the last thing on their vengeful minds...
2. Phelan's next victim?
Phelan may have won the Best Villain prize at the British Soap Awards in May, but he's got a long way to go before he matches Richard Hillman or Tony Gordon.
But with Phelan now taking the reins of Jason Grimshaw's business, could Corrie bosses have decided to put some blood on his hands at last? We've never put much faith in his dodgy building work in or around Weatherfield, so if a falling brick or roof tile suddenly strikes Kylie, we'll know exactly who to blame. And if there's one thing Corrie loves, it's an accidental death sending an unscrupulous male character on an even darker path.
3. Knocked over by a car?
It's the classic way to get rid of any soap character – a car suddenly comes speeding around the corner and knocks down some poor soul who's forgotten that pavements are there for a reason.
We do know that Kylie and David will pack their bags and get ready to leave the Street with the kids later this month, so could there be a road-related disaster at the last possible moment? Possibly, but if this does happen we'll be the first to moan about repeated storylines so soon after Cathy's brief brush with death.
4. A murder mystery?
Corrie bosses will have seen just how well the Lucy Beale saga worked for EastEnders, so could they have decided to use Kylie for their very own murder mystery?
If Kylie was mysteriously found dead with no explanation in her final episode, it'd be a much-needed watercooler moment to get everyone talking about Corrie again. 'Who Killed Kylie?' does have a certain ring to it.
5. Could David snap?
If there's one thing that's defined David's character in the past few years, it's his loyalty to Kylie. Well, apart from that Christmas when he kicked her out and caused her to disappear for a few months, but moving swiftly on...
Having put up with Kylie's dramas for so long, could we see Evil David make a sudden return and somehow be responsible for his wife's demise? An explosive argument between the pair that goes horribly wrong would provide high drama in the moment, and plenty of aftermath too as David wrestles with his guilt.
6. A drug overdose?
Drugs have always been part of Kylie's dark backstory and we've also seen her suffer a major relapse on screen, as she became hooked again shortly after Callum's arrival in 2014.
Kylie has thankfully stayed off the drugs ever since, but could the pressure of recent events see her succumb to temptation with tragic consequences? We'd hate to see such a grim end for Kylie, but it certainly wouldn't be out of character if the pressure becomes too much for her to deal with.
7. A sudden health scare?
Kylie's death doesn't necessarily have to be murder or a grisly accident. If Corrie want a quick and easy demise without too much pesky aftermath to deal with, poor Kylie could just be struck down due to a previously undiagnosed condition.
It'd certainly be out of the blue and a bit of a cheat, but some people – much crueller than us, we might add – might see it as karma doing its job after Kylie claimed a life herself.
8. Callum returns?
Some fans still haven't quite let go of the theory that Callum is somehow still alive, no matter how many times Corrie chiefs have insisted that he's simply not coming back.
But could viewers be onto something? Sure, Callum's corpse was unearthed in May, but the first and most important loophole of soap is there to fall back on: we didn't see the body for ourselves. If Callum really is still out there, he could get the last laugh by vengefully targeting Kylie. Although we'd bet the shock alone of seeing Callum again could kill her.
9. Fakes her own death?
Corrie bosses have made it very clear that Kylie is dying and have even come up with a stylish promo trailer to drive the point home, so we have no real reason to doubt them. But it wouldn't be the first time that the producers have sprung a surprise on us, so could there be a final twist to this particular tale?
If Kylie really has had enough of the Callum cover-up, she could decide to fake her own death to get away from every single memory of the whole fiasco – including David. It'd be slightly harsh after everything he's done for her and it wouldn't make much sense, even by soap standards. But we'd really love to see a final cheeky shot of Kylie enjoying the high life in Barbados with her sister Becky, far away from the misery of life with the Platts...
Digital Spy
Why have Corrie bosses released the spoiler that Kylie dies? When will they learn to take a leaf from EE's book and reward us loyal viewers with surprise twists? :wall:

We did see Callum's body in the live episode. If he were alive, him being the cause of Kylie's death is what would make the most sense, but I really hope Corrie bosses aren't going to give into popular demand and bring him back... :nono:

I've just noticed Freddie's in the above publicity photos which I suppose means he'll be involved in the storyline one way or another. Perhaps he mows her down on his bike?

Corrie could easily bring Callum back, its a soap afterall, even if it backfires people will still watch. In my opinion Corrie has been boring these last few years and is now just a really bad comedy show. Callum wasnt a great character but it would be a moment which would go down in history if he showed up alive. It would take some very clever writing ofcourse. I personally dont care how far fetched it is, I watch soaps to be entertained and shocked and Callum returning even though I think its possible would really shock me. I dont think it will tie in with Kylies exit but aslong as we have never seen his body since that night, they could always come up with something years down the line.

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.

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!!! :angry:
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!!! :nono:
Kylie's final week on Coronation Street begins on Monday, July 11 on ITV.

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!
is phelan capable of murder, if he did discover kylie the real killer and she was going to confess maybe he would finish her off prevent jason returning

I have no doubt that he is capable of murder
if max accidentally kills her as some on line chatter suggests copying enders that is poor stupid writing

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
Life for the Platts changes forever on Coronation Street next week, as the family are rocked by the tragic and unexpected death of Kylie.
Show bosses have announced that Kylie will lose her life in shocking circumstances, just as she is planning to leave the Street forever with her husband David (Jack P Shepherd).
The exact details of how Kylie dies remain a closely-guarded secret, but Digital Spy recently caught up with Paula Lane - who plays her - for some more hints on what's in store.
What made you decide to leave Coronation Street?
"I have made no secret of the fact that I never saw myself being in a long-running drama for the rest of my career. I was only contracted for six months which spanned into a year, then three years. It ended up being six years.
"I have had a whale of a time and six years is a nice amount of time to make an impact, but not be typecast. I was very conscious of that. It was sort of looming and time goes so fast in soap, so I thought: 'I am going to have to run and jump and see that decision through'."
When you told the producers, did you think Kylie might be killed off?
"I knew it was a possibility. When you say, 'I am going to cut those strings', the writers have free rein to do what they want with your character. I felt like I own a very much-loved character and that comes with consequences in a way, as they want a big impact exit.
"It is what it is. My mum is devastated! But I am more than happy with the exit. Creatively I wanted to be able to play it, because I might never get to do it again."
How did the producers tell you about the decision?
"There were a series of meetings. From the off, it was said that Kylie might die and I went: 'Woah'. Then I sat down with the show's executive producer Kieran Roberts and he told me.
"When he went on to explain how and why, I was sold because I thought: 'This is epic, you don't get to have that kind of exit every day and people will really remember it'. That's what you need, I think, so I am chuffed to pieces. I want to leave the audience wanting more."
Is it sad not to have the door left open, though?
"This is the thing - they were so complimentary to me and they didn't want me to go in the first place. But they have made it clear that they feel there are certain people who won't ever need to come back.
"Although you can never say never - of course it would have been nice to have the door open, but I hope I can go on to do other things. This is a great spring board and I can use all the skills that I have learned and there are many. I feel like I have been given so much opportunity here and I am so grateful for that."
Can you tell us more about the death itself?
"I'm not just saying this because I'm involved, but I don't think I've ever read an ending like it. A lot of the cast who aren't actually involved in it have also read it and have said it's something else. It's almost not Corrie, if you know what I mean - it's very different.
"It's something that's never been done in soap before and I think the audience are going to get a real sense of shock and surprise - how a sudden death is. They're going to feel those emotions."
Is it one of the most shocking deaths in Corrie history?
"Yes. Without a doubt."
As Kylie has taken a life herself, do you think this is the ultimate soap justice?
"Yeah, and I have to admit that when they made Kylie a murderer, it was weird what washed over me. I did think: 'This means something quite big now'. It does change things for the character when there's a murder. Although I was assured that it didn't mean anything final for Kylie, you do then think that she - as a murderer - will be tarnished with something."
Did that have any bearing on your decision to leave?
"I think it just reinforced the fact that they can do whatever they want to a character. And I still wanted her to be believable. There were so many parts of her that I'd played, that I thought it was time for me to wrap it up."
What was Jack P Shepherd's reaction when you told him?
"He was very laid-back about it, but it is heartbreaking really because I could have seen Kylie and David last a lifetime together. It is hard when you have someone you have worked with for six years turn round and say 'I am going and I won't ever be coming back'."
As far as Kylie's relationship with David is concerned, is this the best way for her to leave?
"Yes - the family now get a clear cut end. She'll forever be in David's heart obviously, but one of the best ways for her to go is not by choice. David has to try and move on if she is dead, whereas if she had been in prison or had run away, he would always be waiting for her. It will be a long process but will give him some great drama."
How is Kylie doing in the lead-up to her death?
"Kylie is struggling with the fact that an innocent man's name has been trashed, but David is alright with that. He says 'We've won' and Kylie says 'I would hate to see it if we lost'.
"Gail has also decided that she doesn't want to be in the annexe any more, so it falls on Kylie and David to then take that room. It doesn't sit well with Kylie and it doesn't feel right.
"Kylie has this great idea that they will ship off to Barbados and start a new life together. You really see the old Kylie and David come back together - all that excitement, young free and easy. That was lovely to play, but all the crew behind me knew what was coming. We were building the audience up to crash them down."
Will you take any mementoes with you?
"I think it has got to be clean break - I don't think I am going to take anything. I have to put her in a box, literally. I think that is the healthiest option to do."
As you're currently pregnant, will you have much time off after Corrie?
"Yes, as much time as I am allowed, really. Of course it would be nice to have six months and then an amazing job comes up and all will be well, but we will wait and see, I am a big believer in fate and I think things will happen. I am also mindful not to jump at the first thing. It has got to be something very different from Corrie, but something that stretches me at the same time."
What would your dream job be?
"I loved Marcella. I loved the style, as it was really gritty. ITV has got some great dramas on at the minute, so you just have to see. Of course it's easy to say I would love to do something completely flipped from Corrie, like a period drama or sci-fi.
"But it's a good time for drama - that is the impression I am getting at the minute. And theatre as well. I would love to do something quite local, even if it was Leeds or Manchester, so I am more available for home as well."
How are you feeling about having to play dead?
"My mum's put a very weird spin on it: 'How strange that you're playing dead, yet you have a life in you!' I was like, 'Thanks mum. I'm only acting!' I guess it is a bit weird, though. I've never done it before. That's what I mean about being given a storyline like this. It's a new avenue, something different."
What's been your favourite storyline?
"They've all been pretty full-on, so it's hard to just pick one. I loved spending time with Katherine Kelly and being in her shadow when I started at Corrie. Then things got a bit more serious when Kylie slept with Nick and we had 'Is the baby Nick or David's?' thing.
"The live episode was epic too. I have never felt exhaustion like it. I actually took a picture of myself before we did it, when we were in rehearsals. I think it's on Twitter somewhere. But I also took a private one that I've not put out there. It's me, after the live, when I'd taken all my make-up off. I just look horrific! The pace at Corrie really stretches you and I've really had to dig deep at times to get through it."
What's been your proudest Corrie moment?
"I guess the live episode. The audience was completely oblivious to what me and Jack were doing logistically. We were full on running around the set with about 30 seconds to spare. It was crazy. And then all those millions of people watching. It was an unbelievable feeling and there was nowhere for me to go past that."

That's all very intriguing and I really hope Kylie's death lives up to the hype!

Kylie isn't a murderer though. Accidentally killing someone to defend someone else is not murder. Paula really ought to know that.

Kylie isn't a murderer though. Accidentally killing someone to defend someone else is not murder. Paula really ought to know that.
If she was to go to trial, it'd probably be trialled as manslaughter which is a form of murder, so while her intentions were to defend, she still ended a life which makes her a murderer, intended or not.
She would probably get a lengthy sentence though due to the efforts gone to cover up the truth.
Roy could have been done for manslaughter because he assisted in the death of Hayley. I'm not saying I agree, but under the eyes of a law she's a murderer.

Roy could have been done for manslaughter because he assisted in the death of Hayley. I'm not saying I agree, but under the eyes of a law she's a murderer.
I disagree that manslaughter is a form of murder. On the CPS website (on the page "Homicide: Murder and Manslaughter"), under "Definition of Homicide" is the statement:
Murder and manslaughter are two of the offences that constitute homicide.
What I take from that is that homicide is the umbrella term that encompasses both murder and manslaughter, but that the latter two are separate offences. So it's correct to say manslaughter is a form of homicide but not that manslaughter is a form of murder.
Therefore, Kylie could be said to have committed homicide but not murder.
Anther relevant quote:
Subject to three exceptions (see Voluntary Manslaughter below) the crime of murder is committed, where a person:
of sound mind and discretion (i.e. sane);
unlawfully kills (i.e. not self-defence* or other justified killing);
any reasonable creature (human being);
in being (born alive and breathing through its own lungs - Rance v Mid-Downs Health Authority (1991) 1 All ER 801 and AG Ref No 3 of 1994 (1997) 3 All ER 936;
under the Queen's Peace;
with intent to kill or cause grievous bodily harm (GBH)
.
* "Defence of another" is included under the principle of self-defence according the the CPS page "Self-Defence".
Therefore, in my opinion, murder and manslaughter are considered separate acts and, given that we know exactly how Callum's death occurred, Kylie can't be said to be a murderer.
That's not to say the police or CPS would believe their version of events of course, which is why they so unwisely panicked and covered up the death.
http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/h_to_k/homicide_murder_and_manslaughter/
http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/s_to_u/self_defence/
To add to my above post, I'm doubtful Kylie even committed manslaughter or would face any charges if she'd gone straight to the police and if they believed her version of events.
From the CPS Self-Defence page:
However, it is important to ensure that all those acting reasonably and in good faith to defend themselves, their family, their property or in the prevention of crime or the apprehension of offenders are not prosecuted for such action.
It's official - Coronation Street is bringing back David Platt's evil side in the aftermath of Kylie's death.
Show bosses have promised that we can expect unmissable scenes next week, as David turns vigilante in an effort to avenge the loss of his beloved wife.
With details of Kylie's demise still tightly under wraps, we'll all have to wait and see exactly what's in store. But Jack P Shepherd, who plays David, is on hand here to offer some early teasers...
How does David cope in the aftermath of Kylie's death?
"It's mixed. He has his bad moments sometimes, usually when he is with the kids and it all falls apart for him. David is trying to look after them and keep them away from being sad. He's also trying to get the kids to think of Kylie in a positive light and remember the good times, but when they start bringing things up, that makes David very emotional.
"But the rest of the time, he is putting on a bit of a facade that he is coping with it. He even goes for a drink in the pub and no one talks about it, as they all find it very difficult. So it isn't being dealt with.
"It's very clever, actually, the way it has been written and the two sides to David. He is also keeping himself really busy trying to make the funeral exactly right - anything but deal with the emotions surrounding Kylie's death."
How do the rest of the family react to the news?
"They are all walking on eggshells around David, because they don't know if he is coping with it. They are worried about him because he wants all of her possessions to be binned straight away. He says he wants them out and he wants to move on.
"The rest of the family are thinking that is all a bit too soon. Everyone reacts differently and it's such a sudden death, so it hits everybody hard."
Why is David so desperate to find someone to blame for Kylie dying?
"It gives him something to focus on. He has always had this single minded streak and it gives him a reason to carry on. He wants to blame somebody for taking Kylie away from them.
"Now David doesn't have anyone like Kylie to reign him in, so he is on the warpath. Everything was going great in his life and now he wants someone to pay for what happened..."
It sounds like the old David is back...
"He has always been there. The audience know and I know that it needs something like this to trigger a reaction and send him over the edge - and this is big enough for an extreme reaction."
How did you feel when you found out Kylie would die?
"I understand why they decided Kylie had to die, because if she had been left hanging around, in prison or in another country, then she would still be very much part of their lives in some way. She has left him before.
"If she was in prison he would have had to visit her, even if it wasn't shown on screen. With a death, David has to move on in one way or another. A death makes it very final, so there is a different way for him to move on."
How does Sarah react when David breaks the news to her at the hospital?
"Well, Sarah is only just starting to recover from her breakdown. David was there for her and now it's Sarah's turn to be the strong one and she is really worried about him."
We know there's also a scene coming up where David visits Kylie in the chapel of rest. What can you tell us about that?
"Initially they weren't going to have Paula in the coffin, they were going to shoot it without seeing the body. But the director asked how we would feel about it and in particular how Paula would feel and she said she was prepared to do it.
"So now you do see David talking to his dead wife and it made the scenes more emotional for me to play. He gets an extra chance to go and see her. They are great scenes where David says goodbye to Kylie for the last time."
You've been open about wanting the return of bad David for a while. How do you feel about him coming back under these circumstances?
"I'm really pleased with the storyline, it warrants this type of story. We know David doesn't respond well under pressure. Certainly in a situation like this, he will go on the warpath and I am really looking forward to watching how it all plays out over the coming months. It is due to continue well into the autumn."
What's it like on set without Paula?
"It's weird. On her last day, she finished before the end of the day, so the scenes we did after she had left felt different. Even though I had been filming scenes post Kylie's death beforehand, I was still seeing her around in the green room and in some scenes.
"That afternoon I had to film the first scene after she dies and she had literally just left for the final time, so it was really weird. I loved working with her. I didn't think I would miss her as much as I do, I'm always really blase about people leaving, but she has become a great friend. She was a big character within the Platt family and we all miss her."
What do you think the future holds for David without Kylie?
"For now, grief and a desire for revenge. But in the long term, it will be interesting to see what sort of person he will become. He is a great father, so I do think that will be his focus for a while."

Kylie's death will have devastating repercussions for those that loved her, but the harrowing plot also took its toll on the actors themselves.
Jack P Shepherd, who plays David, said: "When the cameras stopped filming, I couldn't stop crying - the tears were very real. The script is superb, every word, every moment of the scene was exactly right.
"They are the most moving scenes I have ever had to film. In rehearsal I just had to speak the lines and not look at anyone as I didn't want to let my emotions take over too soon."
Teasing the aftermath of Kylie's demise, Shepherd added: "David has to try and keep it together for the sake of the children but he wants to blame someone for what has happened.
"He is angry at the world, 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.
"There is a lot more drama in the coming months as David struggles to come to terms with losing Kylie."
Coronation Street airs Kylie's death on Friday, July 15 at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.

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 will air these scenes later this month on ITV.
Digital Spy
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?
Digital Spy
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.
Congratulations :D
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!
That scene got me as it is how i feel at the moment and see life

Very sorry about that, hope things change for the better again soon x
Thanks. Oh by the way where does it say that Todd and Billy move in together? I must have missed that. Does Billy not get free accommodation at the virarage? Surely Todd would not move in there. If it's Eileens then that does not make sense at all as why give up a free flat
