Paula Lane has confirmed that she is thrilled by the news that her Coronation Street character Kylie Turner is to marry David Platt in a surprise new storyline.
The actress first announced the shock pairing in a TV interview last week, promising that Kylie and David will be "a really good combination" on screen.
Speaking on today's This Morning about the twist, Lane explained: "I am really, really chuffed about this storyline. When it came about, I couldn't believe it. What the writers can come up with now, the material - it could be explosive."
She continued: "I'm yet to read the scripts, but I do have sources who have told me that [Kylie is] very much the driver in the relationship, which is good."
Meanwhile, asked how David's mum Gail will react to the relationship, Lane replied: "I have no idea - but I can't wait to see her face!"
Earlier this month, it was confirmed that Lane is in the running for the 'Best Newcomer' prize at this year's National Television Awards.

I never thought I`d ever say this.... but David is way too good for Kylie.
Add me as another who is not looking forward to this storyline one bit
:(
Interview with Kylie on DS
s there a chance we could see a different side to Kylie as time goes on - as we have with Becky since her introduction?
"Well, it's important for me to have Kylie as different to Becky in some ways, as otherwise the audience will feel that they've already seen it all before. So it's all about what you can bring to the table that's new, and I'm constantly sitting down and thinking about that. It's not that I'm totally opposed to Kylie being like Becky, because there are some slight similarities - but people are different and they make different choices. So the viewers are going to see Kylie driving the relationship with David and things like that. If you think about the Becky and Steve relationship, it's funny when you put them together as a duo and to see that different side of them where they're all loved-up, so you might see some similarities in that respect with Kylie and David."
Is it important for you to show that, despite everything, Kylie does love Max?
"Yeah, I'm always saying that Kylie just does not fully understand the consequences of the choices that she's making. She's one of those people who just lives for the moment and doesn't think about what's going to happen in the future. She's just out for herself at the moment and she just doesn't understand the responsibility of motherhood. And I imagine that, as this storyline goes on, it's going to come back and bite her really hard. For instance, at some point in the future, Kylie could want Max back and he might say, 'Well where were you for me?' So I do think that it's going to come back to haunt her and it will play on her conscience. But, at the minute, I think she feels like he's safe with Becky and Steve and that it's all worked out well as they wanted a child, and she gets the life back that she's missed for the past four years. So in her immature mind, she feels like she's done something right!"
Do members of the public ever confuse you with your character?
"I've been very lucky, actually! I think people just respect the fact that I'm acting and I'm playing a role. I've never really had the situation yet of someone thinking it's totally real. I've definitely not had any bad experiences. So hopefully everything will stay as it is, really!"
Was it quite nerve-racking to be involved in Corrie's live episode last month?
"Yeah, it was - but I've trained at drama school so I said from the beginning that the live episode was going to be like theatre as you obviously do theatre live every night in front of an audience. However, actually getting to it and realising that there were 15 million people watching felt a little bit different, I have to say! (Laughs) So it was a really, really unique experience and I hope that I get the chance to do it again at some point in my career. I remember that, when we were doing it, I almost felt a bit shaky because of all the adrenaline, so it was a case of trying to conceal that in your lips and your eyes and making it look relaxed! Luckily, people said afterwards that they wouldn't have known we were nervous at all. It was thanks to the crew as well - we'd had so much practice and we couldn't have been in safer hands. I'm so chuffed that the live episode was a hit, as going live can always be a bit of a risk!"
How does it feel to be joining the Platt family now that Kylie is going to marry David?
"It's great - it showed to me that our producer Phil must be quite pleased, as he's keeping me. I think it was the only way they could have brought me back, because I don't think they could have kept on with the whole Becky and Steve scenario - the viewers need something new. So it'll be really nice to explore this. And let me tell you, the scenes with Gail are going to be so funny. I've been reading the scripts and it's just pure class with the comedy - Kylie and Gail just clash! Then you've also got the mix of Audrey in there as well, so it's going to be brilliant and I can't wait."
Are you enjoying working with Jack P. Shepherd?
"Oh, Jack's brilliant to work with. We've just done our first scene very recently and we're just totally at ease with each other and we have a laugh. I think it'll be a good partnership, and obviously when you're marrying someone in a soap, you're in it for the long haul so it's nice to have that amicable friendship."
Jack said in an interview last year that he was keen to work with you more, so it's funny how things have turned out!
"I know! I've been talking to him about that - I didn't know anything about the wedding so when I found out, I thought that he must have found something out sooner than I had. But he said he hadn't, so it's a bit of a weird coincidence! It'll definitely be double trouble at first - Kylie and David will be going out for everything they can get. But it'll also be very funny - I've been itching to do some scenes with the family."
Had you auditioned for many other roles before being cast as Kylie?
"I was quite lucky with Corrie - I was put straight through to the screen test because they'd already met me previously for a different part. I'd been doing some other things on screen so maybe they saw something in that and decided to invite me back in. And I've also been up for Emmerdale before. It's usually a long process - you can have two initial auditions, recall, a workshop and then the screen test. So you can have four or five different rounds before you get to the final stages. And when being turned down is due to something as trivial as your hair being too brown or slightly too long, or if your accent's slightly wrong, it is hard for your family to understand that. So I have had quite a few knock-backs, as any actor will experience."
How did it feel to get the Corrie job?
"When you get something like Coronation Street, it is the ultimate high and I cannot tell you how elated I was when I got the job! It was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders after everything that I'd worked towards at drama school. But I did work for the two years after drama school and I had really good jobs. I filmed Going Postal in Budapest and I worked for the Army doing corporates that troops will watch before they go out to Afghanistan. So my roles have really been full of variety, but getting Coronation Street enabled me to have a bit of security and to come back up North. There was nothing like the feeling of getting this job."
Finally, are there any other highlights from your time at Corrie that you'd like to mention?
"Oh, it's just been everything - we're all spoiled rotten, especially at photoshoots when we all get pampered! And I suppose it's just been meeting everyone - people like Bill Roache, who's been in it since the beginning. I came in a little bit starstruck and pinching myself - I couldn't believe that I was walking the cobbles of Weatherfield! Even now I can't quite believe that I'm filming on the Street. I've enjoyed it all and I'm really looking forward to the year ahead!"
Coronation Street star Jack P. Shepherd has confirmed that his character David Platt will be back to his mischievous ways after he embarks on a relationship with Kylie Turner in a forthcoming storyline.
Last month, it was revealed that David and Kylie (Paula Lane) are to tie the knot later this year in a shock plot twist, which begins when the pair get to know each other better in Tenerife.
The storyline kicks off next week when David tells Gail and Audrey about a cage dancer named Candy who he met while on holiday. However, unbeknown to his family, he is actually referring to Kylie - who has been working in a seedy club abroad.
Speaking about David and Kylie in an interview with All About Soap, Shepherd explained: "Each of them knows exactly who the other one is. However, David's getting a bit of a thrill by inventing this whole 'Candy' character for Gail and Audrey's benefit. He's really just waiting for Kylie to arrive in Weatherfield so they can cause a big stir - it's all extremely calculated."
David later proposes to Kylie by text message before she returns to the cobbles and they finally come clean.
Shepherd added: "She goes over to Gail's and that's when we get the big reveal. Gail's totally horrified when she realises David's engaged to Becky's sister - she thinks she's a commoner! Needless to say, Gail rapidly kicks them both out of the house."
Gail's discovery of David and Kylie's relationship will air early next month.

Well her return should get Tracyluv off of Steve and Beckys backs, for if Tracyluv says you bought the kid, they can say we were only looking after her until the sister got back.
Jack P. Shepherd has praised the decision to unite David Platt and Kylie Turner in Coronation Street.
The pair's surprise new storyline kicks off tomorrow evening as David returns from a holiday in Tenerife and reveals that he has fallen for 'Candy', a cage dancer he met during his time away.
After David proposes to his new girlfriend by text, a further twist takes place in next week's episodes when it emerges that the bad boy has not been entirely honest with his family - as 'Candy' is actually Kylie. The pair then start planning their wedding, to the horror of David's mum Gail.
In an interview with RTÉ Ten, Shepherd explained: "They're similar characters - just the opposite sex, really. They do anything to shock, they're always scheming, they're happy to blackmail anyone to get what they want - they're the perfect match."
The actor also discussed the moment that David and Kylie's unexpected relationship is revealed to the residents of Weatherfield.
He said: "Gail thinks she's trouble, she's Becky's sister and she knows her type. Becky gives her a bad reception too when they walk into The Rovers. Even Tina and Graeme are quite shocked!"
Coronation Street continues tomorrow at 8.30pm on ITV1.

Coronation Street star Paula Lane has confirmed that Kylie and David's forthcoming wedding will be a low-key affair.
Fans of the ITV1 soap have only ever seen the Weatherfield duo meet briefly on screen, but the pair are set to cause a stir in next week's episodes when they announce their engagement.
Kylie and David (Jack P. Shepherd) have got to know each other better off-screen while both spending time in Tenerife. David is back on the cobbles without Kylie in tonight's episode but the troublemakers start planning their wedding once they are reunited next month.
Speaking to TV Choice about her character's nuptials, Lane commented: "The wedding's in a register office and none of Kylie's family are there, so it's not the big day she dreamt of. But being Kylie, she papers over the cracks and carries on as if everything's fine."
Asked about Kylie's dress, she replied: "It's a shocker! It's going to be very, er, minimal."
Meanwhile, the actress also dismissed rumours that Kylie is only getting involved with David because she has her sights set on his grandmother Audrey's salon.
She said: "Their relationship is genuine."

Perhaps David Bratt is suffering from sunstroke after his holiday in Tenerife. For what else could explain his bizarre behaviour and his talk of a holiday romance?
Back only a couple of days, he has promoted himself to "Creative Director" in gran Audrey's hair salon and stolen Maria's clients, forcing her to quit.
Meanwhile, he's wearing out his fingers texting a cage dancer called Candy who he met on his first night away.
"And did your eyes meet through the bars of this cage?" Audrey teases.
"You can say what you like," smitten David claims. "I've never met anyone like her before in me life. I reckon she's The One."
So much so that on Monday he reveals to a shocked Gail that her mummy's boy has got engaged to Candy - by text obviously - she's moving in with them and they plan to get married in three weeks' time.
But when the mysterious Candy arrives on Friday there's an even bigger surprise for Gail... not to mention Becky and Steve.
Because she is Kylie, Becky's chav sister. The gobby girl who sold her son Max for 20 grand and then came back for £5,000 last December, forcing a desperate Becky to loot from Dev's shop - "practically steppin' over dead bodies fer yer own selfish interest", as Lloyd puts it.
Heralding the return of the excellent Paula Lane as Kylie, this is a brilliant pairing of the Street's bad boy and the ultimate chav.
And it can mean only one thing - double trouble. Brace yourselves...
The Mirror
Coronation Street star Jack P. Shepherd has admitted that his character David Platt will be like a "puppy dog" around new fiancée Kylie Turner.
As announced at the beginning of the year, the Weatherfield duo are to tie the knot in the coming weeks - to the surprise and horror of their respective families.
The storyline begins in earnest tomorrow evening when Kylie is revealed as the true identity of 'Candy', the mystery girl who David met in Tenerife.
In an interview with Holy Soap, Shepherd explained: "It's a perfect match. As far as who's gonna wear the pants in the relationship, I think it'll be Kylie.
"Only because whenever I've had a relationship with another character, I don't know why I do it, but I always walk around like a puppy dog, like a lap dog, around whoever. He would always do anything for Kylie so because of that she'd wear the pants."
He added: "I particularly like him at the minute because he's all loved up with Kylie and he's like a puppy dog around her - I like that side of him at the minute."
Paula Lane - who plays Kylie - recently said that she is looking forward to exploring her character's "fun" side in her scenes with David.

'Coronation Street's Kylie Turner thinks David Platt is her "meal ticket" to a better life.
The couple - played by Paula Lane and Jack P. Shepherd - are set to stun the rest of Weatherfield when they announce their engagement following a holiday romance, and while Paula admits there is a "real connection" between the pair, one of her alter ego's major motivations is believing the bad boy crimper owns his own salon.
Paula said: "There's a real connection there. They're quite similar and, of course, Kylie thinks David might be a bit of a meal ticket as he's told hr he owns a hairdressing salon in Weatherfield.
"I don't think Kylie has ever imagined any man would ever ask her to marry him. She sees this as a chance to better herself."
Though Kylie is furious when she finds out David actually works for his gran Audrey (Sue Nicholls), she still has hopes that her lover will one day inherit the business, particularly after a client dies in the hairdressing chair.
Paula added: "She slaps David and calls him 'Phony and Guy'. She's angry but she still sees an opportunity for herself. She's got big idea for the salon and can see one day it will be David's.
"Kylie isn't there when the client dies, but she knows Audrey starts thinking about the future of the business. Kylie wants it to go to David so she can make her mark on the place."

Jack P Shepherd has revealed his kissing scenes with Paula Lane in Coronation Street are challenging - because their castmates keep trying to put them off.
The 23-year-old is currently hotting up screens as David Platt, who is loved up with Kylie Turner (Paula), but admitted Simon Gregson (Steve McDonald) and Sean Tully (Antony Cotton) try to mess up the scenes when they have to lock lips.
"We're filming lots of kissing scenes with me and Kylie, lots of them, and it was difficult - we had a three-and-a-half minute scene the other day, which was quite long and quite wordy and we had to be in the foreground snogging all the way through it," he said.
"It was one shot, so we were in the foreground and Si Gregson and Sean Tully were in the background. They had all the dialogue watching us snog and they kept getting their lines wrong on purpose so we had to keep going again and again and again."
He added: "So, it was like a three minute snog basically. It was a bit difficult. Massive!"
David has recently popped the question to Kylie, but Jack is keeping quiet about the forthcoming wedding.
"At the minute they're engaged and it's going towards a wedding but whether or not that'll happen, we'll have to wait and see," he teased.

Corrie's Paula Lane has revealed she wants Kylie and David to have a "Big Fat Gypsy wedding".
The 24-year-old actress plays Becky McDonald's feisty, mischievous sister, who David Platt has just revealed is his new fiancee, and she thinks the pair deserve the kind of lavish, over-the-top wedding featured in the Channel 4 documentary.
Paula told Reveal magazine: "We've not filmed the wedding yet, but in my mind I want it to be a Big Fat Gypsy Wedding."
She went on: "We're still discussing some ideas, but that's what Kylie would like. It would be so much fun to play. Would it put me off getting married in real life though? Never!"
Paula has been dating actor Tom Shaw for seven years.
She revealed: "I definitely want to have kids and get married. I've wanted to since I was younger and I've always vowed never to put my career before that. But that's changed a bit now, because I love this job, so I don't want to change anything for the next few years."

Coronation Street's Gail Platt could be prepared to go to extreme lengths to prevent her son David's shock wedding.
The meddling mum - played by Helen Worth - will do anything to put the breaks on the upcoming nuptials of her troubled teen son and mouthy single mother Kylie Turner (Paula Lane), will the entire Platt family thinking deceptive David (Jack P. Shepherd) is making a huge mistake by committing so quickly.
A 'Corrie' insider revealed: "Who knows what Gail will do in order to save David? She and the rest of the family think he's making a big mistake - and they want to stop this wedding!"
However, David isn't the only future groom who is facing a complicated wedding day.
His best friend Graeme Proctor (Craig Gazey) - who staged a fake split with gorgeous girlfriend Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan) so he can marry her pal Xin Chiang (Elizabeth Tan) in the hope of securing her a visa to stay in the UK - is terrified his sham nuptials will end in the disaster if people find out about his false relationship.
The source added to Inside Soap magazine: "Graeme has put himself in a dangerous position by doing this favour for Xin. He's already got a criminal record, and another conviction could land him back inside for a long time!"

Katherine Kelly has praised the decision to pair up Kylie Turner and David Platt in Coronation Street.
The Weatherfield duo, played by Paula Lane and Jack P. Shepherd, became partners on screen earlier this month when Kylie returned from holiday and revealed herself as David's new fiancée.
In an interview with Hot TV, Kelly, who portrays Kylie's half-sister Becky on the soap, backed the pairing as a "genius" plot development.
She explained: "We were doing a scene the other day and they are just perfect together - they have the same sort of energy and similar build so they look great and really bounce off each other.
"It also opens up new opportunities for me as Becky has never had anything to do with the Platts before."
Becky and Kylie had a vicious catfight at the Platt house earlier this week as the tension between the warring siblings escalated. Kelly has admitted that she does not expect the pair to ever reunite.
Meanwhile, Kylie and David are currently planning to marry in early April.

Paula Lane has discussed Coronation Street's upcoming bribe storyline, insisting that her character Kylie Turner will be unimpressed by Gail McIntyre's surprise scheme.
Next week's episodes of the Weatherfield soap see Gail (Helen Worth) resort to desperate measures to stop her son David (Jack P. Shepherd) from marrying Kylie, offering the troublemaker £1,000 to skip the wedding and leave town. She does so amid fears that Kylie is only with David to get her hands on Audrey's salon.
However, in an interview with Soaplife, Lane claimed that Kylie loves David too much to be swayed by Gail's money.
The actress explained: "Kylie has had troubles in her past which have contributed to the way she is now. She never thought anyone would ever ask her to marry them.
"Yes, David having the salon is a bit of a meal ticket but it's more of an added bonus to marry him. I think she really does love him too."
Of Gail's bribe, she added: "Put it this way, Kylie got £25,000 for Max, so £1,000 to give up a salon and someone she actually loves? No, definitely not."
Kylie and David's wedding day arrives in a double bill airing on Friday, April 8. However, whether the pair will make it down the aisle remains to be seen.

Paula Lane as her screen alter-ego Kylie Turner has just had a massive cat-fight with her equally fiery half-sister Becky McDonald. Now Paula has revealed that the reason the fight looked so real was because it was.
"We are rough, we do really kick each other to bits, but when it's on-screen everything is so in detail that if you don't it doesn't work," said Paula.
"In theatre you can cheat punches and for TV you can to a degree, but it has to look as real as possible."
In real life the pair are actually great pals and Paula believes this is the secret to their success.
"We are very similar and have been on the same journey. We get on really well," she said.
"Kate and I are fortunate that we're comfortable enough with each other that we can go the extra mile and do that, but it hurts and I'm always on the receiving end of it."
With more trouble expected between the warring siblings it looks like Paula will have to put-up with bruises for a while yet - Ouch!
David Platt's wedding dream starts to crumble around him on Coronation Street this Friday when his fiancée Kylie Turner fails to turn up for their planned nuptials. David is deeply confused about her absence, unaware that his scheming mum Gail has offered Kylie a £1,000 bribe to skip the ceremony. As David desperately tries to make contact with his partner, Gail is grimly satisfied that her plan has worked. Has she managed to ruin the wedding or could David and Kylie defy the odds and exchange their vows after all? Jack P. Shepherd, who plays David, recently chatted to Digital Spy about the wedding episodes and more.
Have you enjoyed playing David's new relationship with Kylie?
"Yeah! I did think that they were going to put us together when Kylie first came into Corrie. I didn't ask them to do it, but I thought that David and Kylie were the same type of character but just the opposite sex, and so they'd be a really good match. I think they waited a while but I'm glad that they're together now. Myself and Paula Lane get on well and I think the storyline has been looking good so far."
In an interview last year, before the storyline was announced, you said that you were hoping to work more with Paula. Did you already know the plot was on the way at that point?
"No, I'd been asked in the interview who I would put David with next, and I think Kylie had been in it for a month or two at that point. I didn't know that they would put us together but I said that I thought they'd make a really good match. I suppose I was kind of giving away a future storyline without knowing!"
Were you surprised when you were told about how quickly David and Kylie would get engaged?
"Yeah, I was actually. That was our producer Phil's idea. He wanted them to start planning the wedding straight away so that Gail wouldn't really have a choice in the situation, and so it would really peeve her off to have Kylie moving straight into the Platt house."
Having David fall in love with Kylie off screen was quite an unusual way to tell the story, wasn't it?
"Yeah, obviously they met in Tenerife in some cage-dancing bar. Why he would go to Tenerife on his own and then go to a cage-dancing bar is beyond me! But anyhow, he's come back to the street and said that he's met the love of his life. I'm glad, though, because it's given me a chance to work with Kate Kelly and Simon Gregson and I've not really had many scenes with them before. It's nice that it's opened the door for that because hopefully I can now do some comedy with Simon in The Rovers sometimes. Also, the recent fighting scene that I had with Kate was good fun. The storyline has added a new dimension to my character and given me the chance to work with different actors, which is great."
How is David coping with the feud between Kylie and Gail?
"Well, it's that old thing of telling someone, 'No, you can't do it' and that making them do it even more. David has that sort of personality, really - if you say no to him, then he knows that he'll get a reaction from you if he carries on and does it anyway! So there's an element of that when Gail is disapproving of Kylie. I think he does genuinely love Kylie, though, and he does have a sort of obsessive personality once he goes out with someone - he'll only think of that person and they'll be the centre of his life. We've seen that before with Tina. If the wedding goes ahead, we'll have to see where they are a year down the line and if it'll be any different."
David does enjoy a good row, so is there a part of him that's enjoying the tension between Gail and Kylie?
"I don't think so, because he's not been bad for a while, really. He really does wish that they would get along but he does understand that Gail is going to need time to accept the situation. The way David sees it is that it's Gail's problem and she's just going to have to deal with it. He loves Kylie and she's not going anywhere as far as David is concerned."
In the build-up to the wedding, Gail bribes Kylie to stay away from the ceremony. Could David ever forgive his mum if he found this out?
"I don't know. There's definitely a lot that's gone on between the two characters over the years, so it's difficult to consider what it would actually take for one of them not to forgive the other. David's pushed Gail down the stairs, she made sure that his child with Tina was aborted, so there's been all of these stories where they've still been together as son and mother at the end. So I don't know whether he'll forgive her at the moment, but it could be the straw that broke the camel's back."
Do you think Gail has David's best interests at heart?
"She likes to think that! She's said that she's just seeing Kylie for what she really is - calling her scum and just a gold-digger. But with Gail, it's one of those situations where nobody is ever going to be good enough for her sons. I think it was the same with Leanne when she was marrying Nick, and Gail didn't like Natasha either. I don't think she was too keen on Tina either, to begin with."
How does the wedding day play out?
"Kylie is nowhere to be seen - that's a turn up for the books and David's quite shocked! In the lead-up to the wedding, Kylie seemed really excited, they were both really pleased to be getting married, they were all over each other and they were kissing in every single scene. So when Kylie doesn't turn up for the wedding, David's really confused and he doesn't understand why. We'll see him question his gran about where she could be, but Audrey assures him that everything will be alright."
What happens next?
"He tries ringing Kylie and he tries texting her. So it's a case of will she turn up and will she marry him? Also, as it's a double wedding, Graeme and Xin have a lot of drama going on too. They're billing it as 'Double Wedding, Double Jeopardy', so it'll be interesting to see what happens on the day!"
After filming other Corrie weddings as a spectator, was it exciting to have your own one at last?
"I didn't really think of it like that, as weddings are usually quite dreadful to film. They're very long, they take hours to do, and so normally you're very depressed when you're supposed to look really happy! Funerals are the easiest because at least you can look depressed when you actually are! Being the bad boy of the street, I usually get out of a lot of wedding ceremonies - no-one tends to invite me so I've not actually been to many. But having it as a double wedding was good and a bit different."
Does David get involved in any of Graeme and Xin's drama on the day?
"He's got his own worries, I think, so it's all quite separate on the day. Graeme just wants everything to run smoothly and go without a hitch for him, but there's some drama because Norris turns up, finds out the truth and then it's the question of whether Norris will spill the beans about Xin and the fake wedding. David and Graeme are in their own different worlds on the day as Graeme is distracted by his own worries, while David just wants his bride to turn up!"
Would you like David and Kylie to stay together for the long haul and become known as one of Corrie's big couples?
"I don't know at the moment. If the wedding goes ahead, maybe a few years down the line if it's not going well, David could try to do her in - or she could try to do him in! But I think some of the best Corrie couples are Jack and Vera, Roy and Hayley, and I also really like Sally and Kevin together - I always have done and I think they're a great couple. So if David and Kylie got up the ranks and reached their level, that would definitely be an achievement."
Now that David is taking ownership of the salon, would you like him to set his sights on any other Corrie businesses?
"Well, I figured that he'd take over the salon a while ago. It's not officially his yet, though - it's only his when Audrey dies or retires. But he has been promoted to a 'creative director' there. But in the future, maybe he could be like the Weatherfield mafia! (laughs) Maybe he could take over The Rovers and do Steve McDonald out of some money, and annoy the local residents by changing the name of the pub!"
Finally, are you sad that Craig Gazey is bowing out as Graeme?
"Yeah, we've had some good times. It was great when he came into it for the prison storyline and it was also great when they asked him to come back when David was released from jail. We share a dressing room together at the moment - I've always had the same dressing room but I've had about five different people that have come in and shared it with me. I suppose it'll be someone else after he leaves - I think Chris Fountain wants to get in next!"
DS
The old saying goes that the course of true love never did run smooth - and never is the epithet more pertinent than in soap operas.
So Coronation Street fans have been girding their loins for some time with the news that there was to be a double wedding - and just as feared, it doesn't seem that anything is going to go to plan.
However, while not-so-blushing bride-to-be Kylie Turner does her best 'will she, won't she' act before finally turning up late at the wedding, it appears it's her choice of outfit rather than her tardiness that shocks mother of the groom Gail McIntyre.

Interview in Daily Star
SHE’S lied, cheated, blackmailed and stolen. So what will Corrie wild child Kylie Turner do next?
Tonight’s explosive episode of Coronation Street sees the conniving cage-dancer wed fellow wrongdoer David Platt after a whirlwind holiday romance, leaving both families fuming.
So when we met up with actress Paula Lane in Manchester, she couldn’t wait to spill the beans on her character’s must-see big day.
Getting ready in her sumptuous hotel room in a look inspired by Madonna’s Like A Virgin video, Paula laughs: “This is right up Kylie’s street. She’d love this.”
Paula admits she loves being wrapped up in the crazy world of Kylie. And along with actor Jack P Shepherd, 23, who plays mummy’s boy David, she is perfect in the latest storyline.
The 25-year-old star explains: “Kylie is volatile and you never know what she’ll do next. It’s difficult because you can’t imagine how she will react to things. But boy, is it fun to play!”
We’ve already seen David’s over-protective mum Gail give Kylie £100 for a wedding dress and the bride-to-be blow the lot on a boozy night out.
Paula says: “Like David, she flies by the seat of her pants. Gail’s made it clear she doesn’t think Kylie is good enough for her son. But she’s a chancer and wants to have fun.
“Kylie and David are so full of lust. She ends up picking a saucy red and black Moulin Rouge-style tutu just to wind Gail up. She’s got the bottle for anything.”
Paula, who grew up in the small West Yorkshire town of Hebden Bridge, is happily settled with her boyfriend of seven years, actor Tom Shaw, 24, and admits her wedding would be nothing like Kylie’s. “No, definitely not!” she
laughs.
But despite her character’s conniving ways, viewers have a big soft spot for the troubled sister of barmaid Becky MacDonald (Katherine Kelly, 31).
Paula explains: “She’s vulnerable because of her tough upbringing and people want her to do well.”
We’ve seen Kylie sell her three-year-old son Max to Becky, only to blackmail her for more cash.
“She wasn’t ready to be a mum and is money obsessed because she never had any growing up,” says Paula. “She is a wild child but she’s also a businesswoman. She wants the best things in life and is angry that others have had it given to them on a plate.”
One of the reasons Kylie is so obsessed with David is that he is set to take over Audrey’s hair salon.
“She’s very money-orientated and will do anything if the price is right. She thinks that by marrying salon owner David Platt, it will be ker-ching for her!”
Paula takes like a duck to water with our trashy Like A Virgin themed shoot. Laughing as she plays around in her lacy outfit, the slinky size eight star tells us: “Who doesn’t love Madonna? Madonna is so sexy and a total icon.”
But Paula admits Kylie’s bad-girl personality is very different to hers.
“I’m much more sensitive and emotional. I’d cry at anything. She’s a lot tougher than me.”
So surely we shouldn’t expect the big day to go without a hitch. The omens aren’t good.
Gail is trying to put a stop to the wedding by joining forces with son Nick to pay Kylie £1,000 to disappear.
“I hope she doesn’t break David’s heart,” Paula teases. “But the writers can come up with anything they want.”

I hope we get to see a softer side of her personality soon. We had a glimpse of it when she came out with the stuff about her dad abusing her, and him being Max's father, but I don't know if this was made up or not. Think they should explore her background a bit more, give us some empathy for the character.
Paula Lane has admitted that life will be tough for her Coronation Street character Kylie Platt as her decision to sell her son Max is revisited in a future storyline.
Kylie's half-sister Becky McDonald (Katherine Kelly) bought Max from her at the end of last year, deciding that the shock move was in the youngster's best interests due to Kylie's irresponsible ways.
However, recent reports have suggested that Kylie's husband David (Jack P. Shepherd) will soon discover the truth, which apparently leads to social services being informed of the situation.
Speaking on This Morning about how her character will feel when David discovers her secret, Lane commented: "It's a really big thing for Kylie, because she's just started this marriage, she's very happy, she's got this new nail bar in the salon with all these fabulous colours - she's a businesswoman.
"[But now] it's going to be really tricky for her. There's just this massive ordeal that's going to take place."
She continued: "Kylie's not proud of what happened, and I think you'll see that coming through over the course of the next six months."
Lane added that she is keen to see Kylie at the centre of drama on the cobbles for a long time to come.
"I'm determined to keep her raw and gritty for as long as possible," she said. "I don't want her to dilute into this easygoing [person] - I want her to keep shocking, keep being unpredictable and allow the viewers to carry on enjoying watching her, really."
Coronation Street star Paula Lane has revealed that her character Kylie Platt is to develop a surprising friendship with Eva Price.
The actress, who has been on screen as Kylie for nearly a year, hinted that viewers can expect her alter ego to feature in lighter storylines with the Weatherfield newcomer.
Eva, played by former Emmerdale and Lilies actress Catherine Tyldesley, moved into the Rovers Return last month after her mum Stella took over as the pub's bar manager.
Speaking of future plotlines, Lane told Inside Soap: "We're going to see a happier side to Kylie as Eva becomes her sidekick.
"Catherine and I are a bit of a nightmare together on set, too. We laugh a lot and mimic what the other says!"
Lane also admitted that she is keen for Kylie to get on good terms with half-sister Becky McDonald (Katherine Kelly) before the troubled blonde leaves the cobbles in early 2012.
"I've got a bad feeling that Becky is on a downward spiral, but I'm rooting for her and Kylie to finally be able to work out their differences," she said.
Coronation Street star Paula Lane has teased the surprise heart-to-heart coming up for Kylie Platt and mum-in-law Gail, admitting that her character accepts the interfering matriarch as a "mother figure" for the first time.
Next week's episodes of the ITV1 soap see Gail urge Kylie to fight for her son Max after it emerges that the youngster is being put up for adoption.
Kylie hears Gail's (Helen Worth) plea after husband David (Jack P Shepherd) reacts furiously when he realises that his partner may not want Max back.
Lane told Inside Soap of the upcoming scenes: "It's the only occasion, apart from the first time Max was taken away, that Kylie's ever broken down. But she does when she's talking about things with Gail.
"I think it's probably because Gail's a mother figure. Kylie's never had that. So when Gail actually says, 'You've not got a maternal bone in your body and you're always angry', it hits home. No-one's ever taken the time to talk to her about it before.
"From the start, she could never really offer [Max] anything. Kylie was only 16 and living on the streets when she had him. She was on a downward spiral, so it was easier to totally cut off from him than risk rebuilding their bond and then losing him again."
Towards the end of next week, Kylie and David begin the fight to regain custody of Max and soon discover that they are in with a good chance.
Lane added: "Kylie's old fears are still very much there. But after she's had her big heart-to-heart with Gail, Kylie's reassured that she's at least going to have the support of her husband and his mother this time round. It gives her the confidence to think that things might actually work out."
Coronation Street star Paula Lane has said that she hopes her character Kylie Platt regains custody of her son.
The actress admitted that it would be "fabulous" to explore the storyline and predicted that Kylie would be a good mother to Max.
Speaking of the possibility of Kylie regaining custody of Max, she told The Mirror: "She will be nervous because she's never been a proper mum to him. And that is going to be fabulous as an actress to explore - if we get him!
"I think the support from David and Gail will enable her to be a good mum. She's had a tough time; she's always going to be thinking, 'What can I do for him that will make his life better than the life I had?'"
Asked who she thinks Max would be better off with, Lane added: "She wouldn't say Becky. Maybe adoptive parents for a clean slate, but then deep down she has this feeling that she's his mum and he should be with her. There is a scene where she says to Becky, 'Well, you're not his mum, I am'. She's actually owning that authority now."
Lane recently described Kylie's mum-in-law Gail as a "mother figure".

You know she will get im back and soon too. The pace that things happen up in Weatherfield I wouldn't be surprised if Kyle has full custody of Max by the end of next week.

CORRIE headmaster Brian Packham gets floored by Kylie Platt — as he tries to "take-away" her stash of unhealthy food from the school gates.
The pair have a scrap after Kylie, played by Paula Lane, scuppers his plans for healthy eating for the pupils.
The devious lass brings in fatty foods for the kids of Bessie Street, and spotting one of his students tucking into a chip butty he marches over to Kylie and tries to take away her bag of food.
A tussle ensues and Brian, played by Peter Gunn, is left sprawling on the ground covered in chips and mushy peas.
The scenes will be shown in an upcoming episode of Coronation Street.

A Chip or two on his shoulder
Coronation Street hairdresser David Platt ends up at war with his grandmother Audrey Roberts next week as they fight for control of the salon.
David is appalled after learning that Audrey (Sue Nicholls) has reunited with conman Lewis Archer (Nigel Havers), especially when she announces plans to go on a round-the-world cruise with him.
Needing funds to finance the trip, Audrey asks David to sign the salon back over to her, as all of her savings are tied up in the business. However, David immediately refuses - insisting that it's for Audrey's own good.
Digital Spy recently caught up with Jack P Shepherd, who plays David, to hear about the bitter family feud sparked by his character's decision.
How do David and Gail find out about Audrey's reunion with Lewis?
"It all starts when Audrey phones up the salon, telling David that she can't come in that day as she's not very well. David promises to hold the fort and doesn't think anything of it, but Audrey is actually fine - she's just hoping to spend the day with Lewis!
"When David tells Gail that Audrey isn't well, Gail suggests that they should go round to see her. David doesn't really want to, but Gail thinks they should take her up some chicken soup and grapes to make her feel better. So David is forced into going, and they visit Audrey's house on Grasmere Drive…"
What happens next?
"When David and Gail get there, they see Lewis coming out of the house - he kisses Audrey and goes off for a takeaway! So David and Gail go into Audrey's house and have a bit of fun with the situation. They keep asking Audrey how she's feeling, knowing full well that she's obviously lying!
"Audrey wants to get rid of them before Lewis comes back, but they insist on making her some soup. Lo and behold, they're all sitting eating dinner at the table when Lewis walks in, so Audrey's really embarrassed that they've found out her little game!"
Are David and Gail angry with Audrey?
"Well, they start complaining to her, saying that she's out of her mind to take Lewis back. They're convinced that Lewis is going to take every penny Audrey has, and they can't believe that she'd be so blind.
"But Audrey shouts back at them, saying that they just don't want her to be happy and are jealous of her being in love. She kicks them out of her house, and throws their coats into their faces. So that's how we find out that Lewis is back on the scene!"
This all leads up to a big battle over the salon…
"Yeah, Audrey comes to David and asks him to sign the salon back over to her, so that she has the finances for a round-the-world cruise with Lewis. David's really against the idea, and so is Gail.
"Kylie also has strong feelings on the matter - she fears that as soon as David hands the salon back to Audrey, then her inheritance will be gone. So Kylie's dead against the idea for money reasons, and she's acting like Lady Macbeth in this whole storyline, whispering in David's ear all the time.
"But it's not so much about the money for David - he just doesn't want his gran to get stitched over by the conman."
How does Audrey react to David's refusal?
"Audrey tears up the agreement which says that David owns the business, and she also changes the locks on the salon and fires him! So David consults a solicitor, who says that what Audrey has done is quite harsh and she has no right to do it, as legally it's David's salon.
"David gives Audrey a letter from his solicitor, but then she rips that up too. It all escalates from there, and David even gets Audrey arrested later on in the storyline!"
Why is David so reluctant to give Lewis the benefit of the doubt?
"David just thinks, 'Once a conman, always a conman'. Lewis has done this with other women in the past, even though he didn't technically do it to Audrey last time round. Because Lewis has this history of fooling older women and getting them to fall in love with him, David and Gail don't even consider giving him a second chance. As far as they're concerned, he's the devil!"
Has it been nice to play scenes with David and Gail on the same side for once?
"Yeah, usually they'd both be at each other's throats! This time it's nice to have the roles reversed, with David and Gail teaming up. There are also some funny moments on the way, so it's not all shouting and screaming. In typical Platt style, there is quite a lot of comedy in this storyline as well."
Out of David and Audrey, who do you think is stubborn enough to take this all the way?
"Well, there's actually a line in the script where Audrey says that David is the most stubborn person she's ever met. But David says, 'I wonder where I got that from?' They're both really strong-willed characters, but David's not backing down yet. I think it'd take a lot for him to back down, especially as it's his salon that's in question."
What does Nick think about the feud?
"Nick is on Audrey's side. He just thinks that it's Audrey's money, she's earned it, so she should be allowed to spend it however she likes. David's argument is that she won't have a chance to spend it as long as a conman is around, but Nick reckons they should just let Audrey get on with it and trust her judgement."
Whose side do you think the viewers will be on?
"I would imagine they'd be on Audrey's side. I'm expecting people to say, 'What are you doing to your gran? Just let her be happy!' But if people come up to me and say that, I'll just explain David's point of view to them, and I won't let them go for about an hour! I'll try to really get it through their heads that Lewis is a bad guy and he will leave Audrey heartbroken.
"We don't know what's going to happen, but I reckon the viewers will be thanking me in the end!"
David hasn't caused any trouble for a while, so are you glad to get some drama for him again?
"Yeah, I actually did a scene the other day where David's evil eye stare came back. I thought that was nice to see, and some of the crew were saying the same!
"We haven't seen for it for a few years, because David's been loved-up with quite a few romances. Now that he's tied up with Kylie, he's grown up a bit and he's not really into causing mischief or being a prat anymore."
Will David and Kylie stay on good terms in the weeks ahead?
"At the moment, they seem to be getting on fine. I think as long as David agrees with Kylie that he should be going after the salon and not let Audrey take it away, they'll both be on the same wavelength.
"I think it's when David starts getting ideas of his own that the relationship starts to hit a rocky patch! Kylie very much wears the trousers in the relationship…"
Coronation Street star Paula Lane has admitted that fans rarely recognise her when she's out in public.
The actress has been playing feisty Kylie Platt for nearly two years and has featured in a number of high-profile storylines. Viewers have seen Kylie sell her own son Max, brawl with half-sister Becky and marry local schemer David (Jack P Shepherd).
However, Lane told The Mirror: "I've hardly even been recognised! That's because I've really tried to make Kylie different from me - that was a conscious decision.
"I knew I'd struggle with the fame side of being in Corrie so I thought that if I can make her very different, it's going to make it easier to separate the two.
"I hardly wear any make-up in real life and I wear my hair loose or even put a hat on. I used to wear a quiff, but Kylie stole it! That was a choice I made for my screen test and they loved it, so it's carried on."
She continued: "I might get the odd, you know, 'Ooh you minx' from people with a squeeze of my cheek. But as soon as they speak to me they realise I'm just playing a part."
Lane added that she believes Kylie is a good person, despite the extreme behaviour she displayed during her early days on the cobbles.
"Kylie's a very complex character," she said. "I'd be lying if I said there were times when I didn't really struggle to justify her actions.
"You get some really evil people in the world, but I don't think Kylie is one of them. She's just been so tarnished by neglect, troubles in her family and upbringing and I've been able to delve into that."
Kylie comes back to the forefront of Coronation Street in the next few days as she gets involved in David's salon war with Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls).
Coronation Street star Paula Lane has revealed that she will be sticking with the soap for at least another year.
The actress, who plays outspoken Kylie Platt on the ITV1 show, has been appearing on the cobbles since August 2010.
Lane told OK Extra of her Coronation Street future: "I've just signed for another year which takes me to next summer, so then we'll see. I would have done three years by then.
"Suranne Jones did about four years and Katherine Kelly did six, so it depends what feels right. If there are good storylines, then why not stay?"
Kylie tied the knot with partner David (Jack P Shepherd) last year, while in real life, Lane is now engaged to fellow actor Tom Shaw.
Discussing her fashion plans for the big day, the 26-year-old commented: "I won't be taking any tips from Kylie! I've looked at a few dresses but I'm terrified of trying some on because it's such a big decision. I need to bite the bullet and try one on to see how I feel."
Lane yesterday (April 22) completed the London Marathon in aid of Henshaws Society for Blind People.
Coronation Street star Paula Lane has predicted that her character Kylie Platt will win back the sympathy of viewers as she returns to screens next week.
Kylie has been absent from the cobbles in recent days following a huge row with husband David (Jack P Shepherd) regarding their fight for the salon and Audrey's heart attack.
However, next week's episodes see Kylie causing a stir once again as David's brother Nick (Ben Price) discovers that she is working at a lap-dancing club.
Lane told TV Times: "She's taken shelter at a friend's house. Kylie tries her best to get a job doing something other than selling her body, but it doesn't happen for her."
Nick soon goes to great lengths to convince Kylie to return home and make peace with David.
Lane continued: "It will be stripped back again, and you'll see that vulnerable girl behind those feisty eyes.
"Viewers will be like, 'Oh no, she's pulling on our heartstrings again!' because it comes in waves with Kylie - that's the kind of girl she is."
Lane recently confirmed that she will be staying on Coronation Street for at least another year.
Coronation Street star Paula Lane has revealed that she spent time at a real-life lap-dancing bar to prepare for her latest storyline.
Later this week, viewers will see that the actress's character Kylie Platt is working at a strip club after walking out on husband David.
Lane joined members of the Coronation Street team to check out a real-life venue for herself before filming the scenes.
The 26-year-old told The Mirror: "It was only for research! Let's just say it was certainly a different world to the one I'm used to."
She continued: "The scenes were shot in a real-life club, so myself, the director and location manager went there one night to prepare for this storyline.
"It was an eye-opening experience, but I don't look down my nose at the girls who work in those places. They're just making a living. That's why Kylie gets a job in the strip club - she can't find work anywhere else and resorts to desperate measures."
David's half-brother Nick comes face-to-face with Kylie while she is at work in Thursday night's (May 17) episode.
Coronation Street star Paula Lane has confirmed that there are "heart-wrenching" scenes ahead for her character Kylie Platt.
Last month, show producer Phil Collinson told Digital Spy that the feisty character will feature in a big storyline beginning this Christmas, teasing that the plot will involve "a dark secret that could blow the Platts apart".
Lane has now told the Daily Star of her alter ego's future: "I can't say much, but viewers will see Kylie is trying to up her game in the world.
"You'll see some heart-wrenching scenes. She spills out her emotions to Gail, the only mother figure she's ever had."
Lane is thought to be contracted with Coronation Street until next summer, with the possibility of an even longer stint beyond that.
The actress added that she likes to separate herself from Kylie as much as possible, explaining: "I love keeping it like that. I got in a taxi the other day and the driver was like, 'You're not her - she's a right madam!'
"It plays havoc with my wardrobe, though. Sometimes I'm like, 'Ooh, I like that, but it's a bit Kylie-ish'. You constantly have to question yourself."
Lane joined Coronation Street in summer 2010.

I like Kylie's scenes with Gail
Kylie been quite lately they need to use her more in storylines
Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd has said that his character David Platt will end up at odds with wife Kylie due to his desire to extend their family.
David surprises Kylie (Paula Lane) in upcoming episodes by suggesting that they should try for a baby of their own, having proved himself as a good father figure to his stepson Max.
Although Kylie eventually agrees to the idea, it's clear that she is far from keen - which is likely to spark new disputes between the Weatherfield couple.
Shepherd told itv.com of the storyline: "David's always wanted kids. He didn't have a great father figure himself, so he wants to put that right. He loves Max to bits, but he thinks a child of their own would really complete the family. He thinks it would really bond him and Kylie together and make them a proper family unit."
The actor continued: "He's not thinking rationally. Kylie is and suggests they need more stability first and to be more established in their careers, but David isn't thinking like that - he wants a baby and he wants one now. He doesn't see any need to wait, it's all he can think about."
Feeling pressured by David's dreams, Kylie continues to take the contraceptive pill while they are 'trying for a baby'.
Asked how David would react if he discovered the truth, Shepherd replied: "He'd be annoyed, he'd be devastated, he'd feel a little bit betrayed and lied to, but I hope he'd try to see why she did it and talk to her. I hope they'd be able to sort it out."
On whether the pair's marriage is strong enough to survive their differences, the actor said: "Yeah I hope so, I think they've got a really good relationship. They're very similar, but when they argue they do clash and they go at it hammer and tongs. I think they really do care a lot about each other though, it's definitely love."
Coronation Street continues tonight (No
Coronation Street's David Platt leaves his wife Kylie stunned in the coming days as he becomes fixated on the idea of extending their family.
Feeling that everything is going well with Kylie (Paula Lane) and little Max, David suggests that it's the right time for them to have a baby of their own. However, with a career-minded Kylie not so keen, are the couple heading for a rocky patch?
Digital Spy recently caught up with Jack P Shepherd, who plays David, to hear his thoughts on the storyline.
Why does David decide that he wants a baby?
"I think David just feels that a baby would complete his relationship with Kylie, really. He's always wanted kids, ever since spending time with Bethany when he was younger and developing a bond with Max more recently. Now he wants his own child.
"David still loves Max, but he wants to complete the family so that he and Kylie can have that shared bond. If they have a child together, it will add to what they already have."
Why isn't Kylie so keen on the idea?
"It's not really anything against David, I think it's mainly just because she's been let down by men in the past. She's probably frightened that if David gets bored in two years' time, she'll be a single mum with two kids out on her own.
"Plus, Kylie has just got this job at the Bistro, so she's on a steady ladder to a good career and wants to get her head down. I think Kylie is being realistic, to be honest. She'd like to wait until they can afford a property of their own further down the line. But David just wants everything too fast!"
Kylie agrees to the idea, but we hear that she continues taking the contraceptive pill in secret…
"I think that's because Kylie feels forced into it. David just keeps going on and on about babies, and he won't let it go! Kylie sees how excited he is for it, so she says they'll do it and give it a go. She agrees to try, but secretly she has other ideas."
What does Gail make of the situation?
"Gail doesn't really want them to have a baby, but she knows it's not her position to get involved. As soon as the word 'baby' crops up with David, he can just throw out the card that Gail made sure his other kid with Tina was aborted. So Gail takes a step back on this occasion. She's not really best pleased about it, but she doesn't really say anything for once."
How does Kylie try to put David off the idea of children?
"Well, Chesney and Katy need someone to look after baby Hope and Joseph at short notice, so Kylie cunningly volunteers her and David. Suddenly, Kylie gets a call and she's got to go into the Bistro, so she rushes off and leaves David with Hope, Joseph and Max.
"Kylie thinks all hell is going to break loose and David will have second thoughts over babies. But David actually does a bang-up job, so Chesney and Katy come in and they're really happy that he succeeded and there were no deaths or anything! (Laughs.)
"The situation just reinforces it even more that David wants a baby with Kylie. He tells Kylie it was a doddle and they should definitely have kids together!"
Are you surprised that David has become such a good father figure to Max?
"I am, especially considering that he didn't really have one himself growing up. I think the writers like that bond between David and Max, particularly given that they're not related biologically. So I think this was the whole reason the writers decided that it's time for David to have a baby of his own."
Corrie bosses have promised a big Christmas and 2013 for David and Kylie. Are you excited by what's in store?
"Definitely - they're using us more and more with little Max and we're our own little family now. It's funny that everyone still calls the whole family 'the Platts', when there's actually only me and Paula who are Platts. There's Nick Tilsley and Gail McIntyre, so it's nice that everyone recognises them as Platts as well!
"There is more to come at Christmas, and as I'm talking to you, we're just getting the scripts out now for it. I'm looking forward to seeing it, but it's all supposed to be huge, apparently!"
Do you ever find yourself missing David's evil side?
"Yeah, all the time! I get quite a lot of tweets from people asking me when he's going to turn bad again, and the answer to that is that I don't know! The writers can't just turn him bad for no reason. Over the history of David's character, he's always been on a steady path when he's in a relationship. Whether it's been Tina or Kylie, a girlfriend has always kept him on the straight and narrow.
"That's actually the main problem if he splits up with a girl, because his main focus has been on them and there's nothing left for him afterwards! For him to go bad, I think something would have to jeopardise his relationship."
Do you prefer playing comedy or drama with David?
"I don't really have a preference, as I like all the scenes. I have a good time when it's comedy, but then again myself and Paula have just filmed some good drama scenes the other day. It was good to get our teeth into that after a lot of light-hearted humour at the salon, but I love that comedy as well because it's really good."
Do you think Nick would ever betray David by getting together with Kylie?
"I don't know, who's to say in the soap world? But I think Nick is just trying to be a decent older brother to David by helping out Kylie, especially giving her a job at the Bistro when she didn't seem happy in the salon. I think that's as far as it will go with those two."
We'll also soon see scheming Lewis Archer move in with the Platts! How does David react to that?
"He's not best pleased. David comes home one day to find that Lewis is on the couch and Gail is massaging his back! It all kicks off because David think it's not right. Lewis is just a nuisance - he's an annoying little brat! There's a bit of the old David that creeps in, because he's trying to wind Lewis up."
Do you think David needs a new enemy?
"Well, it's always nice to have a bit of an enemy on the street. I had a bit with Gary Windass, but now we're best mates. I also had a bit with Ryan Connor too, but they're getting friendly too. That's what happens in soap, you forgive and you forget. Maybe the writers could come up with a few stories where Ryan tries it on with Kylie again."
With the news that Stuart Blackburn is taking over as Corrie's producer, how are you and the rest of the cast feeling about a new boss joining?
"We're absolutely terrified! (Laughs.) It's always the same, with people asking, 'Have you heard? New boss, what's he like?' But I remember Stuart when he was here as story editor on Corrie, so I can't speak for the rest of the cast but thankfully I've got a good relationship with him!"
Coronation Street star Paula Lane has warned that her character Kylie Platt may choose career ambitions over becoming a mother again.
Last week, viewers saw Kylie agree to give husband David (Jack P Shepherd) a child of his own, but upcoming episodes show that she is deceiving him by continuing to take contraceptive pills.
Speaking to Inside Soap, Lane explained that Kylie's new job at the Bistro with David's half-brother Nick (Ben Price) has made her reconsider what she currently wants from life.
Lane commented: "The problem is that Kylie has always leant on David, but now she's got a career of her own, that's all changed. She's more independent, so he probably feels like she doesn't need him as much.
"Perhaps David is now looking towards fatherhood because all of Kylie's attention is focused on work instead of him."
She continued: "I'd love Kylie to make a huge success of the Bistro. She has all these quirky ideas that really shine through. Nick is amazed by what she's capable of, so who knows?
"If David gave her an ultimatum, she'd be inclined to choose her career over being a mum again - but only in the hope that he'd change his mind and agree to wait until she's ready to have a baby."
As Kylie is eventually honest with David about not wanting a baby yet, Lane added that she hopes the couple can settle their differences.
She said: "I think they're capable of getting through a lot. People are often against them and think their marriage won't last. There's been a lot of doubt about them as a couple, but they've never doubted themselves."
Coronation Street airs an hour-long episode tonight (November 28) from 7.30pm on ITV1.

She will probably become pregnant and not know if it is David or Nick's baby
Coronation Street's Kylie will cheat on husband David on Christmas Day, it has been confirmed.
Weatherfield actress Paula Lane revealed that her alter ego will sleep with a mystery man following a number of heated rows with David (Jack P Shepherd).
"She falls into bed with another man because the one person who for the past two years has been her rock, who she's given herself to and built up a great marriage with, has completely let her down," the star told the Radio Times.
"She feels that she's bettered herself, maybe there's a bit of new confidence there, and she wonders if it's David who's been dragging her down. I think it's also about wanting to be needed and desired by someone who finds her amusing and interesting.
"She isn't thinking straight at that point. It comes out of the blue and it's spontaneous and animalistic. It's all about the passion - they both want this at that time and they're not thinking about the consequences."
However, the 26-year-old said that Kylie will suffer immediate guilt over her festive fling, adding: "It's pure regret, that feeling of, 'Oh no, what have we done?'.
"But the person in question is very good at talking her round saying, 'Let's forget it ever happened'. But Kylie feels so guilty. It's going to be hard for her to move on from this.
"As soon as she sees David after the one-night stand, she knows that he's the person she wants to be with and that she's made a massive mistake. It was just a bit of comfort when she needed it, there was nothing more to it than that."
The marital cracks emerged when Kylie told David she would rather concentrate on her career than have a child with him.

Coronation Street kicks off a huge new storyline for Kylie Platt this Christmas as she cheats on husband David after their marriage hits the rocks.
Kylie's relationship with David (Jack P Shepherd) has come under severe strain in recent weeks, and things are only set to get worse between the pair over the festive season.
Heartbroken and alone after another big argument, Kylie falls into the arms of another man and has a one-night stand. However, her guilt is overwhelming when she wakes up the next morning…
Digital Spy recently caught up with Paula Lane, who plays Kylie, to hear more about the upcoming Christmas storyline.
How do you feel about getting a big Christmas plot?
"It's really exciting. You can't really ask for a better gift than to be given a big storyline at Christmas. I've really enjoyed filming it and although I've felt quite tired with so many scenes to do, it's been an absolute pleasure. I can't wait to see it go out."
Will you be watching Corrie on Christmas Day then?
"Oh, I'll definitely be watching it. I always watch my episodes back as it's good to be able to evaluate your own work. I'll definitely be ready and eager for it to come on at 7.30pm on Christmas Day!"
Why do you think things have gone so wrong for Kylie and David?
"I just think it's a lack of communication, really. They're both trying to inject things into the marriage that the other person doesn't want. Kylie has got this new job at the Bistro and she's trying to better herself, whereas David is going down a very different path by wanting a baby and hoping to expand the family.
"At the moment it's seeming like they want different things and they're just not gelling. This all comes to a head around Christmas time."
When she's rowing with David, does Kylie see this as a huge crisis or just something that will blow over?
"Well, David seems to be going out and getting drunk after their rows, but that's the way they often react during arguments so I think Kylie expects that of him. She doesn't feel that it's out of character for David, because that's what they've always been like.
"Kylie isn't so happy that all of these arguments are happening at Christmas, as it doesn't set the best example for Max. So Kylie certainly knows that the marriage isn't perfect at this moment in time."
Do you think the viewers are going to pick a side in these rows between Kylie and David?
"I think they'll see it from both points of view. Kylie is showing great character by wanting to better herself and sticking to a job that she feels she's good at. But at the same time, it would be lovely for them to have a new addition to the family.
"I think the viewers will agree with Kylie's practical side - they haven't got enough room in the house, and they don't have the funds to support another addition to the family. I think the viewers might be more likely to be on Kylie's side. Well, I hope so anyway!"
We've heard that David humiliates Kylie at Nick's stag party in the Bistro…
"Yeah, it's horrible actually. Kylie is working at the Bistro that night and when Rob asks where the stripper is for the party, David points at Kylie. It's a really low point and I'm sure the viewers will get to see a lot of Kylie's pain when David brings up her past. She's very shocked that he could do that to her. She's very, very hurt."
Kylie then goes on to have a one-night stand at Christmas…
"She does. I wouldn't say that it's anything that's been plotted or that's been brewing for a long time, it's just something that happens in the heat of the moment."
Does Kylie regret it the next morning?
"Oh, hugely! Kylie is totally guilt-ridden and she's desperate to patch her marriage up and make it work. It's that morning when she realises that her marriage is worth fighting for and she does want David in her life, no matter what it costs her. But this storyline is going to have massive repercussions for her…"
Can Kylie and David patch things up?
"I think they can make it past these troubles. Their marriage has definitely got strong building blocks and the love they've got for each other is massive. I love working with Jack and I think our characters match up really well together - they bounce off each other. I think they can definitely get over this rocky patch."
Until now, Kylie and David were probably one of the only couples on the street who hadn't cheated on each other! Do you think the one-night stand is a shame in that sense?
"I won't lie, I was concerned when I first found out about the storyline because David has always been Kylie's rock. He's been her pillar of strength for a good 18 months now. The one-night stand is out of character for Kylie so at first I thought, 'Where am I going to go with this?'
"When I looked into the circumstances of the storyline and the producers talked me through it more, it did make absolute sense. After that, all of my worries were put to rest and I did look forward to filming it."
Does Kylie attend Nick and Leanne's wedding?
"Yes, Kylie is involved in the wedding at Christmas. Her and David are still both very frosty towards each other, but for the sake of Max, they're trying to make it as peaceful as possible. We're not saying whether the wedding goes ahead or not, but Kylie and David are definitely in attendance.
"The venue for the wedding was Knowsley Hall and it was stunning - absolutely gorgeous. It's nice to get out and about - we always joke that we're like kids on a school trip!
"Given that we were filming out on-location, it's great that we've been able to keep a lot of these storylines under wraps. The soaps carry their biggest storylines at Christmas, and I think the audience don't always want to know exactly what's going to happen. I'm surprised that we've been able to keep it as quiet as we have!"
Kylie always had great comedy in the salon, but are you pleased with her new job at the Bistro?
"Yeah, I am. I've been looking back at the episodes recently and I'm going to change a couple of things. I want to make her a bit more colourful in the Bistro, because she's been wearing black a lot recently. What was great in the salon was that I was able to experiment with her style quite a bit and put her in some wacky costumes. Even though she's smartened herself up a little bit, it'd be great to keep that sense of her character.
"I think the comedy aspect can follow through into the Bistro so I'm really chuffed about that, too. It's nice to have a change of scenery!"
A lot of viewers have picked up on hints that Kylie had quite a dark past. Would you like that to be explored more?
"Possibly - who knows what the writers could come up with? Maybe they could dig Kylie's dad up from the past, as there's not been much mention of him. I think that would be an interesting avenue to explore.
"Anytime Kylie has a breakdown, alarm bells ring because you never know what she's going to do. How she can react to certain situations is quite terrifying, especially for her family. It'd be great to explore that more."
You mentioned that the one-night stand will have big repercussions, so does that mean 2013 is looking like a busy year for Kylie?
"Definitely. I think it'll be my time to earn my stripes in the show. I feel like it's going to be my peak time here, really. We'll have to see how the audience react to that. I just want to do the best job I can and put 100% into it. I feel so committed to this show right now, and I really do want to give it everything."

^ How original another cheater in Corrie
Corrie looks set to revisit David Platt's epilepsy storyline in a few weeks' time.
The Weatherfield hairdresser collapses while out with his stepson Max Turner in upcoming scenes on the ITV soap.
Jack P Shepherd and Harry McDermott, who play David and Max, were spotted filming the surprise moment on location yesterday (March 13), the Daily Mail reports.
David is walking in a local park with Max when he appears to suffer a seizure and falls to the floor.
When David doesn't stir, a quick-thinking Max uses his stepdad's mobile phone to get help.
After being called by Max, David's half-brother Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) arrives on the scene just as David is coming round again.
David was diagnosed with epilepsy in late 2010 after blacking out while driving and knocking down Graeme Proctor (Craig Gazey). He was later put on medication to help control the condition.
Coronation Street continues tonight (March 13) at 7.30pm on ITV.

i forgot about his epilepsy
So did the writers until they needed a storyline...
Paula Lane has said that Coronation Street writers would be brave to have Nick Tilsley as the father of her character's unborn child.
Her alter ego Kylie Platt is pregnant but not sure who the father of her baby is after having a drunken one-night stand with Nick, played by Ben Price.
She admitted that producers will not give her any clues whether the baby is Nick's or husband David's (Jack P Shepherd).
Lane told PA: "We have said, me and Jack, we think Corrie will be very brave if they chose Nick as the father. There's a lot more to lose. A lot more relationships will be severed."
Lane also suggested that there will not be a relationship between Kylie and Nick if the baby does turn out to be his.
She said: "There was never a love story there. There's never going to be an affair. They do have a lovely relationship, Kylie and Nick, but she absolutely loves David.
"They're Bonnie and Clyde, they are in her mind going to be together forever. So the fact that he might finish the relationship is going to be devastating for her. Kylie and David relationship's going to go crazy."
Lane also praised her co-star Bill Roache (Ken Barlow), who recently apologised after being quoted as suggesting that sex abuse victims are being punished for their past lives.
She told the Daily Express: "I can't comment because I've not been in work the past few weeks. All I will say is he is one of the most generous, giving people I've ever met on this job. He's never made me feel like an outsider."
Coronation Street *actress Paula Lane has hinted she may quit the soap *unless bosses give her tougher *storylines.
Paula, who plays Kylie Platt, said she dreams of following in the footsteps of co-star Katherine Kelly, who *recently starred in hit ITV drama Mr Selfridge.
Although Paula, 26, is happy on Britain’s *favourite soap, she’s been asking writers for better plots.
She said: “I love Corrie. I am contracted up until June and there is talk of more but I made it clear I want to be challenged.
“I didn’t go to drama school for *nothing. I look at other *dramas and think ‘I’d love to do that’... *something like Mr Selfridge or sci-fi or *theatre.”
Paula, currently at the centre of a storyline in which Kylie is pregnant but isn’t sure who fathered her baby, added: “I’d love a *tougher *story, but the stuff that’s coming up, viewers won’t guess it. I didn’t.”

Corrie Jack P Shepherd has revealed that the show's bosses haven't decided who is the father of Kylie Platt's baby.
Kylie discovered that she is pregnant at the beginning of the year, but she still isn't sure whether the dad is her husband David or his half-brother Nick (Ben Price).
Shepherd, who plays David, has now told Inside Soap that the Corrie story team are still considering their options over the ongoing plot.
Asked whether David could ever forgive Kylie (Paula Lane) for her one-night stand with Nick, he replied: "I think he'll go mad when he finds out, but if it's David's baby in the end, he'll probably try to get over it. I think he'll want to forgive Nick because he's been close to him over the past few years, and he'll try to stay with Kylie for the baby's sake.
"The writers haven't actually decided whose baby it is yet - they can't make up their minds."
The actor also revealed that he was forced to give up a holiday when the soap's storyliners came up with the plot twist.
He said: "I've not actually been [on holiday] for 12 months now, which is unlike me. I usually have two or three holidays a year.
"I was booked to go to Thailand last Christmas, but work phoned up the month before and said, 'Do you mind cancelling your holiday? Nick's going to sleep with your bird!'"

Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd has revealed that his character David Platt does not realise the extent of his health problems.
David suffers an epileptic fit and falls unconscious, whilst out in the park with Max and Joseph, next week.
Speaking to the Radio Times, Shepherd said: "They've gone to see the ducks when he suddenly has a fit and falls to the ground.
"He knew he was about to have a fit so he'd got his phone out and scrolled down to Nick. But before hitting call, he'd dropped the phone by Max's feet. As David starts to have the fit, Max picks up the phone, rings Nick and he comes to rescue them all.
"David's not really bothered. The only thing that upsets him is thinking that his baby might have epilepsy because he didn't know if it's hereditary."

Max gets Nick to help an unconscious David
The worrying incident comes after David discovers that the doctor has commented on pregnant Kylie's (Paula Lane) high blood pressure.
Shepherd said: "She isn't supposed to be doing any more work and is supposed to take it easy, which means David's got to do all the chores, feed and bath Max, take him to school as well as working in the salon.
"Then with Kylie not working, money is tight so he decides to cover her shifts at the Bistro as well."
David is still unaware that he might not be the father of her unborn child due to her one-night stand with his half-brother Nick (Ben Price).
Shepherd recently revealed that the show's bosses haven't decided who is the father of the baby yet.
Coronation Street actor Ben Price has revealed he would love the current baby drama to bring back David Platt's evil side.
The actor's character Nick Tilsley is currently harbouring the secret that his sister-in-law Kylie could be carrying his child, after the pair shared a tryst behind their partners' backs.
While David, portrayed by Jack P Shepherd, excitedly prepares for the baby's arrival, Nick is struggling to keep the truth from wife Leanne.
Price told itv.com: "It's an awkward situation, but Nick is also amazed that this could be his child. It's quite an emotive moment.
"Nick has never had the perfect family unit and he wants it. He wants a child, he's ready for it - just not like this."
David drives panic into Nick and Kylie by suggesting the baby should be genetically tested, in order to check whether the child has inherited his epilepsy gene.
Nick also finds himself guilt-ridden when David asks his brother and Leanne to be guardians to the child.
Price said: "Nick tries beyond anything else to be cool and calm. He's been in a tram crash, he's saved lives, he's seen a few things, but this blows all of his control out of the window... Every time something like this happens panic shoots through him."
Speaking about what may happen if David uncovers the truth about Nick and Kylie, Price said he would love to see Nick's younger brother's sinister side return.
"I hope we see the return of evil David," said Price. "There's an edge to him now, he's not a child anymore. I think he'll go as far as he needs to."
Shepherd recently said the outcome of the baby storyline is yet to be decided by producers.
Coronation Street star Paula Lane has revealed that she wants a role on Broadchurch.
The actress, who plays Kylie Platt in the ITV soap, explained that she is committed to Corrie but looks forward to exploring new acting gigs in the future.
"Corrie have given me an amazing opportunity and I'm happy to fulfil that. But other amazing dramas are always being developed," Lane told The People.
"I'd love to do something like Broadchurch. Hopefully one day I'll get there."
On her Corrie future, she added: "If the storylines were *challenging me like they are now, I'd like to stay and become a Corrie veteran.
"Until I've made an impact with Kylie, I don't think it would be fair for me to move on.
"I take the limelight with a pinch of salt. I don't see myself as a celebrity. I see myself as a actress who is *hopefully making waves."
Corrie's David Platt looks set to bide his time after he discovers his wife Kylie's shocking secret.
Last week, Corrie bosses revealed that the show has already filmed the long-awaited scenes which see David (Jack P Shepherd) learn of Kylie's one-night stand with his half-brother Nick.
However, Paula Lane - who plays Kylie - has now told Digital Spy that David keeps quiet after making the heartbreaking discovery, even though he knows that Kylie's unborn baby may not be his.
Speaking at the 2013 British Soap Awards, Lane teased: "At the minute, he hasn't confronted Kylie about it yet. I'm just on the receiving end of his reign of terror! It's been fab to film."
With David staying silent, it looks like he may want to take a more devious approach to getting revenge over Nick and Kylie's betrayal.
In her chat with Digital Spy, Lane also promised "emotional" scenes ahead for the Platts and pondered whether David and Kylie can ever recover from such a huge hurdle.
he will make them all suffer even his mother when he finds out she knew too welcome back evil david platt

I hope they reunite eventually as I love the David and Kylie pairing, but I'm looking forward to seeing this. On the basis that the soaps tend to copy each other, maybe divorce papers for Christmas for a start. Can also see David trying to get custody of Max.
Coronation Street's writers have been praised by an epilepsy charity for a current storyline.
In a recent episode, David Platt - played by actor Jack P Shepherd - had his first seizure for two years while he was walking with his stepson Max.
The Epilepsy Society has now commended the ITV soap for raising awareness of the condition, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Amanda Cleaver, communications and campaigns manager for the charity, said: "What was really interesting was how some of the other characters reacted to his seizure.
"They questioned his ability to look after the two young children in his care and David himself voiced concerns about whether his unborn child would inherit the condition.
"The issues raised in the story highlight the public lack of knowledge about a condition which affects around 1 in 100 people in the UK."

They praised the storyline, despite them never mentioning in the show that David might want to take some medication? They were all "oh you mustn't get stressed, you mustn't drink alcohol" and he even went to the doctors, but at no point was medication mentioned - which is the main thing you use to stop having seizures!
David did confirm to Kylie and Nick though after he had the seizure that he is taking his medication regularly, therefore did not know why he had a seizure
Epilepsy medication is a "best guess" balance between trying to eliminate seizures and avoiding making the sufferer too sleepy, so anyone with epilepsy can have a seizure at any time, irrespective of how much medication they're on. Anything that throws the body out of kilter including alcohol and, particularly, stress can contribute to the onset of a seizure, so I'd say the script was consisent with real life.

Epilepsy medication is a "best guess" balance between trying to eliminate seizures and avoiding making the sufferer too sleepy, so anyone with epilepsy can have a seizure at any time, irrespective of how much medication they're on. Anything that throws the body out of kilter including alcohol and, particularly, stress can contribute to the onset of a seizure, so I'd say the script was consisent with real life.
A Corrie script consistent with real life? That must be a first.
Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd has revealed more details of the drama in store when his character David Platt discovers Nick and Kylie's shocking secret.
David is still blissfully unaware that his wife's unborn baby may not be his after Kylie and Nick had a one-night stand at Christmas.
However, the truth is finally revealed to David later this month when he overhears Kylie and Gail discussing the secret.
Completely stunned by what he's hearing, David keeps quiet and goes ahead with a short holiday that Kylie has planned for the two of them. While away on the break, David then contemplates suicide in his desperate state.
Shepherd told TV Times: "He stands on the edge of a cliff, closes his eyes and thinks about jumping, but in that moment, Max calls and tells David he loves him. David realises that he wants to be with Max and Kylie.
"They called me and said, 'How are you with vertigo?' Luckily I'm not afraid of heights, but at one point I had to stand on the edge, close my eyes and rock back and forth. I had a harness on my ankle, but I didn't want to go over and bang my head on the cliff."
After deciding not to jump, a vengeful David hatches a secret plan to destroy Nick's life.
Shepherd revealed: "[He gets up to] all sorts. At one point, he smashes up his flat with a sledgehammer. They built a set for me to smash. They even bought a flat-screen 40-inch TV for me to batter."
He added: "[David's] very clever. He will ruin Nick's home, his business, his marriage, but he makes it look as if somebody else is responsible. At the end of each day, David is there for Nick to have a drink with and be best mates."
This sounds great.
Really can't wait to see Nick's reaction when he finds out!!

I have to admit David Platt is one of my fav Corrie characters and credit to Jack he plays him brilliantly
Coronation Street star Paula Lane has admitted that she hopes the show's bosses keep her on-screen marriage intact.
The actress's character Kylie Platt has experienced various ups and downs with husband David (Jack P Shepherd) in the past two years, and the dramas aren't over yet as he soon finds out about her one-night stand with his half-brother Nick (Ben Price).
Although David is shocked to realise that Kylie's unborn baby might not be his, their relationship could still have a future as he decides not to confront her with what he knows.
Lane told TV Times of the story's future: "I want [the baby] to be David's. I want their marriage to survive. I think they're one of the strongest couples on the street."
She continued: "It's written so well, it's hard to second guess. I really hope David and Kylie stay together."
David's decision to keep quiet over the betrayal allows him to launch a secret campaign of revenge against Nick. He is also cold towards his mum Gail, aware that she knew the secret but failed to tell him.
Lane added: "I've never worked with 'evil David' and when I see him being mean to Gail, I think, 'Oh dear, what's he going to do to me?'"
Coronation Street airs David's discovery on Monday, June 17 at 7.30pm on ITV.
Coronation Street revisits David Platt's dark side next week after he finds out about Kylie and Nick's one-night stand.
Shellshocked to learn that his wife and half-brother have betrayed him, David experiences a rollercoaster of emotions until he settles on a twisted plan for revenge.
David's first move is to secretly trash Nick's flat, but it's clear that he won't be stopping there…
We recently chatted to Jack P Shepherd, who plays David, to hear more about next week's big episodes and where the story is heading next.
Have you enjoyed filming such a big moment for the storyline?
"Definitely! Me, Ben [Price] and Paula [Lane] were looking forward to filming this for a few weeks, because we obviously knew that David would be finding out soon. None of us were quite sure how David was going to react, though, so we were placing bets on whether he was going to get a rock to cave Nick's head in and stuff like that!
"I think it's really clever that the scriptwriters have now released it with David finding out, but none of the other characters knowing that he's discovered the truth."
What can you tell us about the moment where David finds out?
"Kylie has been planning a surprise trip away for David to the countryside, so everybody's being a little bit secretive and David starts to get suspicious. He then listens in to a conversation between Kylie and Gail, where Kylie's talking about her one-night stand with Nick and how she hopes the baby is David's.
"At that point, you wonder whether David is going to let the cat out of the bag straight away, but then Max comes home from school and tells David that he loves him. David's in a bad place and he knows that he can't tell Kylie then."
How is David feeling?
"David's world just falls apart, and you're not really quite sure how he's going to react to the news. He does almost go ballistic and let out the fact that he knows, but in the end he manages to keep it to himself."
When Kylie tells David about their surprise weekend away, why does he go ahead with it?
"David decides that he'll get Kylie alone in the countryside and tell her that he knows. He does end up having an argument with Kylie when they're out there, but he still can't bring himself to tell her how he's really feeling. Kylie just thinks he's in a foul mood because he doesn't like surprises!
"David then goes on a massive Forrest Gump-style run and gets to the top of a cliff, and he does contemplate jumping off and killing himself. He's about to do that when little Max stops him, again, by phoning him!
"Max says how much he's missing David and it pulls on his heartstrings a bit. David takes a step back and when he then sees Kylie, he declares his undying love for her. They go home and they start to get along better, but that's when David turns his attentions and all of his evilness towards Nick! He wants revenge."
Are you glad the writers didn't drag it out by keeping David in the dark for a year or more?
"I think they could have done two things. They could have let the cat out of the bag after the baby was born, but I think the writers wanted all of the drama to happen earlier. They could see that everyone was excited about the storyline and the viewers didn't want to wait nine months to see the reveal!"
David's been a good guy for a long while now. Are you glad that's changing?
"Yes, definitely. David's had his evil boots hung up for a few years now and he's been Mr Nice Guy. He's been a nice husband to Kylie and all of that. It's been alright, but it's been boring! It's good to get his evil horns back, because I think it's what the viewers want to see."
If David can forgive Kylie, why can't he do the same with Nick?
"Well, David is heartbroken when it comes to what Kylie's done, but he doesn't blame her as much. It's definitely more Nick, because in the past few years - since Ben has taken over in the role - he's always been there for David.
"It's been nice that they've had a brotherly relationship where Nick has taken him under his wing, given him a job at the Bistro from time to time, and they've become good friends. It's seemed as though Nick is David's only friend, as he doesn't really have any other mates.
"It absolutely tears David's life apart that Nick has betrayed him like this, so he's more annoyed at Nick than Kylie. David decides that he wants to stay with Kylie, so he doesn't want to be too annoyed with her."
What was it like to film the scene where David trashes Nick's flat?
"It was very fun to film, because it was quite simply the director saying to me, 'Here's a sledgehammer - anything is expendable in this flat, so just go mad!' He told me where to start and where to end in the flat, but anything in between, I could smash! I was smashing tables, laptops and TVs, as well as throwing vases and pictures.
"It was hard work because obviously you only see me do it once, but in real life I'd done it five or six times beforehand in rehearsals and different takes. After a while, that sledgehammer gets really heavy! In the rehearsal and first take I thought it was easy, but once you get to take six it does get heavy and you start to miss! But hopefully it will look alright on screen."
Can we expect some revenge for Gail too?
"Gail does definitely get a bit of evil treatment, but it's a little way off yet so I can't say too much about it! But don't worry - everyone will get their comeuppance!"
Trashing the flat is just the beginning of David's plans, and we've been told that he'll be his angriest ever. Can David's revenge really top some of his previous behaviour?
"I'd have to say that it can't, as he went to prison last time. But you never know, he might go to prison again or he might even die! It all depends on whether I sign my next contract in October, so we'll have to see!"
Are you pleased that David's recent seizure scenes have been praised by the Epilepsy Society?
"Yeah, that's always nice to see! That's the power of the internet these days - you can type in 'epileptic fit' and get loads of knowledge back. I even typed it into YouTube to see some fits for myself.
"It's quite a complicated thing as different people react in different ways. There's the obvious standard fit where you shake and stuff like that, but nine times out of ten in the videos I saw, not a lot of people seemed to be doing that. There were more videos showing people lying quite still and not moving, but I thought that I couldn't do it that way as everyone would just think I was rubbish at doing an epileptic fit! I just had to go with the standard shaking thing and I think it came across alright on screen."
Nigel Havers recently said that he wants to return to Corrie again. Would you like to see a shock comeback for Lewis Archer?
"I'd be excited to see Nigel back more than Lewis Archer himself, because I really did like Nigel. He's funny and I do still see him from time to time. He was up here recently and I had some dinner with him. We get on well, so who knows if we might see him again?"
Coronation Street star Paula Lane has revealed that she is nervous about giving birth on screen.
Lane's character Kylie Platt is currently unsure over the paternity of her baby after having a one-night stand with her brother-in-law Nick.
Speaking to The Sun, Lane said: "I'm really excited about the birthing scene, but I'm also really nervous.
"Luckily my mum's a midwife so I'm going to sit down with her and the script when it eventually arrives and take her advice about which bit will be the most painful. The writing will tell me how to play it - Kylie is strong and a fighter.
"But that depends what circumstances they have it under. Not many people on soaps give birth in a hospital!"
Kylie is due to give birth on screen in September but the future of her relationship with husband David will be uncertain after tonight's episode sees him finally discover the truth about his wife's infidelity. However, viewers will soon learn that he decides not to confront Kylie about it.
Lane said: "I don't think the audience expected Kylie and David's marriage to last and I'm glad it has.
"I love them together. I could see it work with Nick but everything works with Kylie and David. They look right and it fits so well."
Lane also revealed that she has no plans to leave the soap in the foreseeable future.
She said: "I've just signed a new contract. They made it clear they wanted me to stay and they've just signed me up until June next year."
Jane Danson has revealed that David will stop at nothing in his plan to destroy Leanne and Nick's relationship.
Jane, who plays Leanne, said: “David has been planting all these little seeds to make it look like there’s something going on between Leanne and Peter."
Determined to get revenge on brother Nick for his one night stand with Kylie, David goes to cunning extremes to engineer problems for the couple.
"David is back at his evil best. He’s really unpredictable when he’s in this frame of mind and he stops at nothing," said Jane.
When Leanne receives an expensive bunch of flowers from a mystery sender, David casts doubt in Nick's mind about who could have sent them, hinting that former love-rival Peter could be behind the gesture.
"David’s plan is doing the trick because he’s causing tension between them and bringing up all their old insecurities"
David's crusade continues when he vandalises Peter's car, making it look like Nick has done the damage.
"David knows that as soon as he brings Peter into the equation it’ll get Nick’s back up," Jane said. "We saw with the break-in at the flat that he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty, and by keying Peter’s car and sending the flowers, he’s trying to whip up this storm that was calm between Nick and Peter."
"David’s got this very warped mind so who knows how far he’ll go. I think he’ll try and ruin them like he’ll be ruined if the baby does turn out not to be his."
"He doesn’t want to hurt Kylie, especially as the baby could be his, so he’s focusing all his anger on Nick," she said.
Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd has said that his character David Platt isn't that scary.
David has recently found out wife Kylie's (Paula Lane) unborn child may be the result of a one-night stand with his brother Nick (Ben Price).
However, he is keeping the discovery to himself so that he can go on a secret rampage of revenge.
Discussing the change in his character, Shepherd said to Yahoo TV: "Everybody's used to it now. I suppose people thought it was a bit weird at first but all the cast and crew are used to the David look, really.
"I can look with scary eyes but I still wouldn't be able to knock a fly out.
"Don't be that scared, I'm not a serial killer or anything. If I was a Top Trumps card and it said 'Evil Look: 10', it would be 'Physical Strength: minus 1'."
Shepherd also revealed he was pleased to see his character get back to his bad old ways after months of being happily married to Kylie.
He said: "David's hung up his evil boots for quite a while now so it's good to get them back on and go raging about. I don't prefer it, it's just always nice to dip in and out of it.
"It's always good if your character has got that in his locker. It's not out of character to smash things up with a sledgehammer.
"He's got a lot of different areas - he can be evil, he can be nice, he can be funny, he can be upset, so there's a lot to do."
Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd has predicted that the Platt family's ongoing baby saga could run until Christmas.
The actor's character David Platt is currently plotting revenge against his half-brother Nick, having learned that his wife Kylie could be carrying the businessman's baby.
Viewers saw the storyline begin on Christmas Day last year, when Nick (Ben Price) and Kylie (Paula Lane) had their one-night stand.
Shepherd told PA: "We were pleased that they weren't going to do the usual, 'David finds out, goes mental for a couple of episodes, Kylie and David split up'. We didn't want that. The writers wanted it to carry on and drag it out and finish it at Christmas or something like that.
"I'm assuming it goes until Christmas - I don't get told anything. I just read the scripts the night before I film them and then that's when I find out the story.
"I don't know what happens in this whole storyline, I just know that tomorrow I've got two scenes, so I'll learn them. If you just react to what the lines are then that's alright."
On the big question of whether Kylie's baby is David's or Nick's, the 25-year-old added: "I hope it's Nick's. Two reasons - one, I think it would be really good to see David absolutely crushed and devastated and then go on a bigger warpath of killing Nick, maybe suffocating him in his sleep!
"Two, I don't want to work with a baby for the rest of my life or the next few years. It's just hard work, they cry, they scream, stuff like that. When it's your own it's fine, you can put up with it."
One peak in the storyline will play out on screen next month as David and Nick are involved in a shock road accident.

Car accident, I can feel a David/Nick heart to heart coming.
Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd has revealed that he wants Kylie's baby to end up being Nick's.
David (Shepherd) has been secretly plotting against Nick (Ben Price) for weeks, after discovering that his brother slept with Kylie on Christmas Day and could be the father of her unborn baby.
Speaking on ITV's Daybreak today (August 2), Shepherd said: "I think I'd probably prefer the baby to be Nick's, just because we'd see David crushed, devastated.
"His world would fall apart and then we'd see him go on a big rampage and try to kill Nick, and smother Nick with a pillow, or stab him! I've thought the whole thing through!"
Nick is left in a coma next week after his Bistro van is hit by a lorry during a fateful drive with David.
Speaking about the crash, Shepherd said: "There's a few scenes in that car and there's a whole range of emotions.
"We both get angry, there's a fight, there's tears, there's everything, so they were really good scenes that me and Ben really enjoyed doing. It's good."
The actor went on to say: "I do enjoy David's evil side! I don't mind the other side of him, though - just being a normal guy or a funny guy.
"I don't mind the comedy, I don't mind the emotional stuff. It keeps me interested in the character and everyone else, I suppose. I like all sides to him."
Coronation Street's David Platt will order a secret DNA test to prove whether he is the father of his wife Kylie's baby daughter.
Kylie (Paula Lane) will give birth to a baby girl next month and the pair decide to call her Lily.
However, David (Jack P Shepherd) will still remain uncertain over whether he is actually Lily's father as a result of Kylie's one-night stand with his brother Nick (Ben Price) on Christmas Day.
Deciding he has to know for sure and not wanting to rock the boat with Kylie, David will go behind her back and secretly take DNA samples, the Daily Star reports.
David will confess his plan to Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan), who will become his closest confidante in the coming weeks.
Nick's life is currently hanging in the balance after he was involved in a shocking car crash with David earlier this week.
Coronation Street continues tonight at 7.30pm on ITV.

I want the baby to be David's

I'm bored with this story line.
david looked very orange and kylie very white tonight
I heard that Nick will now be in a coma for six weeks, so was thinking that David would want a DNA test and would secretly take a swab from Nick.
Wonder if he will go for a swab from Nick or will just take one from Lily. A results sheet saying that David isn't the biological father isn't necessarily incriminating as far as Leanne is concerned, but if he gets one saying that Nick is the biological father, it will enable him to continue his vendetta.
I want David to be the father but I doubt that he will be. It's all about drama in soapland, not happy couples.
David is panic-striken that his terrible secret will be exposed as Tina realises he's to blame for the crash, Jack P Shepherd has revealed.
Jack, who plays David, said: "Tina clocks that this is all David’s doing and she threatens to tell Kylie the truth. David pleads with her not to tell anyone, he’s petrified that she’ll open her mouth."
Nick is fighting for his life in hospital following the dramatic crash, which saw David unplug his brother's seatbelt before grabbing the wheel of the van.
"David wasn’t necessarily intending to kill Nick, but he certainly wanted to stop the van and the only way to do that was by putting Nick’s life in danger," said Jack.
"David is just living in fear about people finding out the truth..."
"David still doesn’t think he’s done anything wrong. Nick committed the ultimate betrayal to his brother and David believes he needs punishing for that," said Jack.
"He’s so worried that Nick will survive and tell Kylie what’s happened and that he’ll then lose her and the unborn baby."
"If Nick wakes up and threatens to tell everyone the truth then I do think David will lose it. It will push him over the edge because he knows that nobody will be on his side."
As Tina starts to put the pieces together, David is terrified that she will jeopardise his future happiness with Kylie if she tells anyone.
"David is petrified that she’ll open her mouth."
'David would be relieved if Nick never woke up - he'd get away with it all'
"He does get a little bit aggressive with Tina when she runs out and declares she’s going to tell Kylie everything."
Jack added: "He sees Tina’s reaction when she discovers the truth, and he knows that Kylie will also think that David’s entirely in the wrong. That scares him."
Coronation Street bad boy David Platt will be left in turmoil when Tina McIntyre threatens to expose his shocking secrets.
An already-suspicious Tina (Michelle Keegan) puts the pieces of the puzzle together next week, discovering that David launched a hate campaign against his half-brother Nick and was responsible for their horrifying road crash.
Disgusted, Tina feels that David has gone too far this time and warns that she's going to tell his wife Kylie everything.
Jack P Shepherd, who plays David, told itv.com: "Tina clocks that this is all David's doing and she threatens to tell Kylie the truth. David pleads with her not to tell anyone - he's petrified that she'll open her mouth.
"He does get a little bit aggressive with Tina when she runs out and declares she's going to tell Kylie everything.
"He sees Tina's reaction when she discovers the truth, and he knows that Kylie will also think that David's entirely in the wrong. That scares him."

Nick and David
David's revenge began when he learned of his sibling's one-night stand with Kylie and the fact that Nick could be the father of her unborn child.
With Nick in hospital following the crash, David now regrets the tragic consequences of his actions - but he still wants the truth to remain firmly under wraps.
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Friday, August 23 on ITV.
Hopefully the issue will be resolved by a one off visit by Lewis Archer, who (to warm applause from viewers and Corrie cast alike) introduces David's face to the business end of a spade!
Coronation Street star Paula Lane is currently enjoying her biggest year so far on the soap as fans have seen huge repercussions from Kylie Platt's one-night stand with Nick Tilsley.
The drama for the Platts is far from over, but Paula is already reaping the rewards of her hard work with nominations for 'Best Actress' and 'Best Storyline' at the 2013 Inside Soap Awards.
We recently caught up with Paula to hear her reaction to the nods and to get the gossip on what's coming up for Kylie.
How do you feel about being in the running for 'Best Actress' and 'Best Storyline'?
"To be up for 'Best Actress' is very, very flattering. If I'm honest, I don't really think I've got much of a chance, but I'm really pleased that people thought I was worthy enough of being in that category.
"As far as the storyline goes, it's just been amazing to be part of. I've had a really busy ten months which has had so much drama involved. I've just filmed all of the birth scenes for Kylie, which are due to go out at the end of August, so the story will just get better and better in the next few weeks."
Do you think Corrie is in with a good chance at the awards in general this year?
"Definitely. I think there's been some amazing drama so far this year, and there'll definitely be more to come before the awards ceremony. We've got Hayley's cancer story, the Platts and their ongoing saga, and a lot more coming up too… I definitely think Corrie is worthy of taking home a few prizes on the night!"
We've seen a few twists and turns in Kylie's story so far, with more to come as we still don't know who the father of her baby is. Has that kept you on your toes?
"Absolutely - I really haven't been able to guess which way this storyline is going to go. Every single week when we get fresh scripts, I've been diving in there as I can't wait to read what's coming up next. That's been the case for about six months now. You can never tell which way the writers are going to go, so it's definitely kept me on my toes."
The main reason for the recent road crash was that David didn't want Kylie to find out that he knew the truth. Why do you think David was so scared of that?
"David still really loves Kylie and he doesn't want to lose his family unit, which they've managed to build up over the past couple of years. I can't condone what Kylie has done by sleeping with Nick, but even so, David's plotting has come from a very dark place. If Kylie had found out about that, I'm not sure she would have been able to forgive David."
How long do you think it will take for Kylie to realise that the crash was indirectly caused by her secret?
"It's actually all coming to light in some episodes that we're filming at the moment, so the audience have got a good six to eight weeks where it all carries on building. We've got all the drama of Nick remaining in a coma, and David very fearful of what might happen if he wakes up and tells the truth. Kylie, Gail and Leanne all stay oblivious to what caused the crash for now, and that puts the pressure on David even more."
The viewers are keen to see all of the secrets come to light! Are the big reveals on the way?
"They are, and it'll be classic Corrie. I'm sure there'll be lots of people involved and it'll create a lot of gossip on the street as always! The story is definitely worthy of a big showdown, and that's what is going to happen. It'll be fab!"
Would you be sad if it was the end for Kylie and David's marriage?
"I would - I've said all along that they're a great partnership. They're like Bonnie and Clyde and they really bounce off each other. I'll be really upset if they do split us up, but the show moves on and characters grow.
"Personally, I can't imagine the two characters being with anyone else. If the baby does turn out to be David's, they'll always have that connection. But we'll have to wait and see - I'm not sure how they work being apart! It'd be all new territory for me if they broke up."
We've noticed Kylie has become a real favourite with our readers in the past 12 months or so…
"That's really nice to hear and I think with Corrie it's a case of earning your stripes. If you stick around and you're putting more and more work into your storylines, the audience can see that. I'm not sure if it's also because they've mellowed Kylie in the Bistro a little bit. She's not as much of a loudmouth as she used to be, as she's grown up quite a lot.
"I think in the future, we're slowly going to see Kylie go back to how she was when she first started in the show. The layers will be stripped back, which is always great because she is still the same person underneath. The audience will be able to see the consequences of her recent actions and what happens when she's not stable. That's another challenge for me, which is great."
Is it true that we're going to see a whole new Nick after his accident?
"Yes, even the visual impact for Nick is instant, once he comes out of the coma. There's massive stuff coming up and I think it's genius what they're going to do with Ben's character. It's almost like giving him a brand new person to play, because he's not really ever going to be the same again. The material that Ben is going to be given is great, and it should be interesting to watch as not many soaps have played a storyline like that before."
You'd said beforehand that you were nervous about filming Kylie's labour scenes. How was it in the end?
"It was brilliant and I really enjoyed it. We had a bit of a laugh and we weren't too serious about it. All of the cast who were there during the birth were very supportive and I'd put quite a bit of research into it beforehand, so I didn't feel too much pressure in the end!"
Are you enjoying working with a baby on set?
"Yeah, we have a couple of babies playing the role of Lily and they're lovely! They're still really small so you've got to be really careful with them, because they're so delicate. But they're very well-behaved and one of the babies actually had a close-up shot the other day where she suddenly opened her eyes. I think we've got a natural there!"
Earlier in the year, you had to speak out to deny rumours that you were planning to leave Corrie. What did you think of the speculation?
"I think the speculation comes from the fact that whenever somebody asks you whether you'd like to do other things in the future, the answer is always going to be yes. I'm an actress and I've spent three years at drama school, so of course I've got desires to do other things in the future.
"But at the moment, all of my concentration is on this job and I've got no desire to leave at present. I'm really happy with what the writers have given me, and I want to make Kylie even bigger and better. With that in mind, there's definitely no departure on the cards for me just yet!"
Coronation Street star Paula Lane is currently enjoying her biggest year so far on the soap as fans have seen huge repercussions from Kylie Platt's one-night stand with Nick Tilsley.
The drama for the Platts is far from over, but Paula is already reaping the rewards of her hard work with nominations for 'Best Actress' and 'Best Storyline' at the 2013 Inside Soap Awards.
We recently caught up with Paula to hear her reaction to the nods and to get the gossip on what's coming up for Kylie.
How do you feel about being in the running for 'Best Actress' and 'Best Storyline'?
"To be up for 'Best Actress' is very, very flattering. If I'm honest, I don't really think I've got much of a chance, but I'm really pleased that people thought I was worthy enough of being in that category.
"As far as the storyline goes, it's just been amazing to be part of. I've had a really busy ten months which has had so much drama involved. I've just filmed all of the birth scenes for Kylie, which are due to go out at the end of August, so the story will just get better and better in the next few weeks."
Do you think Corrie is in with a good chance at the awards in general this year?
"Definitely. I think there's been some amazing drama so far this year, and there'll definitely be more to come before the awards ceremony. We've got Hayley's cancer story, the Platts and their ongoing saga, and a lot more coming up too… I definitely think Corrie is worthy of taking home a few prizes on the night!"
We've seen a few twists and turns in Kylie's story so far, with more to come as we still don't know who the father of her baby is. Has that kept you on your toes?
"Absolutely - I really haven't been able to guess which way this storyline is going to go. Every single week when we get fresh scripts, I've been diving in there as I can't wait to read what's coming up next. That's been the case for about six months now. You can never tell which way the writers are going to go, so it's definitely kept me on my toes."
The main reason for the recent road crash was that David didn't want Kylie to find out that he knew the truth. Why do you think David was so scared of that?
"David still really loves Kylie and he doesn't want to lose his family unit, which they've managed to build up over the past couple of years. I can't condone what Kylie has done by sleeping with Nick, but even so, David's plotting has come from a very dark place. If Kylie had found out about that, I'm not sure she would have been able to forgive David."
How long do you think it will take for Kylie to realise that the crash was indirectly caused by her secret?
"It's actually all coming to light in some episodes that we're filming at the moment, so the audience have got a good six to eight weeks where it all carries on building. We've got all the drama of Nick remaining in a coma, and David very fearful of what might happen if he wakes up and tells the truth. Kylie, Gail and Leanne all stay oblivious to what caused the crash for now, and that puts the pressure on David even more."
The viewers are keen to see all of the secrets come to light! Are the big reveals on the way?
"They are, and it'll be classic Corrie. I'm sure there'll be lots of people involved and it'll create a lot of gossip on the street as always! The story is definitely worthy of a big showdown, and that's what is going to happen. It'll be fab!"
Would you be sad if it was the end for Kylie and David's marriage?
"I would - I've said all along that they're a great partnership. They're like Bonnie and Clyde and they really bounce off each other. I'll be really upset if they do split us up, but the show moves on and characters grow.
"Personally, I can't imagine the two characters being with anyone else. If the baby does turn out to be David's, they'll always have that connection. But we'll have to wait and see - I'm not sure how they work being apart! It'd be all new territory for me if they broke up."
We've noticed Kylie has become a real favourite with our readers in the past 12 months or so…
"That's really nice to hear and I think with Corrie it's a case of earning your stripes. If you stick around and you're putting more and more work into your storylines, the audience can see that. I'm not sure if it's also because they've mellowed Kylie in the Bistro a little bit. She's not as much of a loudmouth as she used to be, as she's grown up quite a lot.
"I think in the future, we're slowly going to see Kylie go back to how she was when she first started in the show. The layers will be stripped back, which is always great because she is still the same person underneath. The audience will be able to see the consequences of her recent actions and what happens when she's not stable. That's another challenge for me, which is great."
Is it true that we're going to see a whole new Nick after his accident?
"Yes, even the visual impact for Nick is instant, once he comes out of the coma. There's massive stuff coming up and I think it's genius what they're going to do with Ben's character. It's almost like giving him a brand new person to play, because he's not really ever going to be the same again. The material that Ben is going to be given is great, and it should be interesting to watch as not many soaps have played a storyline like that before."
You'd said beforehand that you were nervous about filming Kylie's labour scenes. How was it in the end?
"It was brilliant and I really enjoyed it. We had a bit of a laugh and we weren't too serious about it. All of the cast who were there during the birth were very supportive and I'd put quite a bit of research into it beforehand, so I didn't feel too much pressure in the end!"

Coronation Street producer Stuart Blackburn has promised that there is hope left for David and Kylie Platt's marriage.
Viewers know that David (Jack P Shepherd) is currently hiding a devastating secret as he caused the shock road crash which put his half-brother Nick Tilsley in a coma.
The horrifying moment came after Nick was finally honest with David about sleeping with Kylie (Paula Lane) last Christmas - well aware that he already knew the truth.
Discussing what will happen when the crash secret emerges, Blackburn told Inside Soap: "It'll put Gail in a position that no mother would ever want to be in, and it'll push Kylie to the edge. I've missed bad David, and it's just so simple to get him back by having someone do him wrong!
"There is hope for Kylie and David, but while she'll be angry with him, there's also anger at herself. Kylie has seen nothing but pain and heartache.
"In her head she's a screw-up, and she'll be furious with herself for imagining she could ever have a normal life. If there's hope for Kylie and David, they must accept each other for who they really are."
Nick's (Ben Price) relationship with his wife Leanne (Jane Danson) has completely different challenges ahead as he is a changed man when he finally comes out of his coma.
Blackburn continued: "For those two, it's not going to be about that hideous Christmas night, because they both have to accept a share of the blame.
"Leanne is going to be living with a man who isn't the man she married, and may never be that man again. Nick has brain damage and when people get such injuries, sometimes their partners say, 'I'm not his wife any more - I'm his carer'. So we want to play that as realistically as possible."
This storyline has just made me think that Corrie are trying to copy EastEnders' Kat. It's not a good storyline and I hope they don't put her on more self-destruct as EastEnders did with Kat.
The Nick and Leanne side sounds as if it will be more interesting.

happy days again then!!!!!!!!!!!!
Baby has to be David's otherwise christening would not go ahead
Kylie is left heartbroken at baby Lily's Christening as she realises David knows about her fling - and that he caused the crash that almost cost Nick his life, Paula Lane has revealed.
Paula, who plays Kylie, said: "Suddenly the scales fall from Kylie’s eyes and she realises that David knows about her and Nick."
"She realises with shock that David tried to kill Nick. At this point I think she feels the lowest she’s ever felt."
"She can’t comprehend that someone she shares her bed with could do this..."
Just days before the Christening, Kylie finds the DNA results that David has hidden at no.8, and jumps to the conclusion that Gail has ordered the test behind her back. Worried about what David could know, Kylie goes to talk to Nick.
"Kylie’s really panicking. Nick assures her that David knows nothing about their one-night stand, but Kylie’s not so sure."
At the Christening both Kylie and David are filled with nerves, knowing that their respective secrets are balanced on a knife-edge.
As Kylie grows ever more suspicious about David and Tina's closeness, she begs Tina to tell her what David’s hiding. Backed into a corner, Tina tells her that she needs to speak to Nick, and the pieces all start falling into place...
"Kylie confronts Nick and he’s forced to admit that David found out about their one-night stand months ago, and it was David who orchestrated the vendetta against him," said Paula.
"She can’t comprehend that someone she shares her bed with could do this."
"This is the biggest betrayal, it’s too dark for her..."
"Kylie knows that she’s had a part to play in this. She has sort of pushed him to it by sleeping with Nick, but this is way darker than anything she ever imagined he would do."
With the church filled with guests, will Kylie be able to contain her devastation, or is David on the brink of losing everything?
"There have been way too many secrets held back. Kylie’s not really aware of her inhibitions any more..."
I didn't think that the christening would go ahead; David was championing the idea anyway and Kylie had that strop when David didn't make it back in time to see the Vicar. Thought it would be something that Kylie would do to create a scene on the day for no real reason.

Coronation Street star Paula Lane has hinted that her character's marriage could get back on track within the next few months.
The actress's alter ego Kylie Platt has refused to forgive husband David after learning that he was responsible for the road crash which nearly killed his half-brother Nick Tilsley.
As the rest of the Platts have also turned against David, viewers have seen him hit rock bottom in recent episodes.
However, Lane told the Inside Soap Yearbook 2014: "I think they're really miserable without each other. Kylie still loves David - she's never loved anybody like she loves him. But she's disgusted by what he's done.
"You know when someone makes your skin crawl? That's how she feels about David. But as time goes on, those old feelings for him are going to start to resurface. Kylie's going to be battling a lot of emotions over the next few months!"
Lane also confirmed that there is much more coming up for Kylie and Eva Price, played by Catherine Tyldesley.
She said: "I think the writers are going to cement Kylie's relationship with Eva. It's nice to see a true friendship, because there aren't many of them in Weatherfield!
"Catherine is a good friend - we're different, but that's why we're good mates. She's wacky and lovely, and a true friend - you can really trust her."
Kyle was horrible as usual today I used to like her and do not now
Kyle was horrible as usual today I used to like her and do not now
i'm the same she annoys me now bigtime
Kyle was horrible as usual today I used to like her and do not now

I don't think Kylie will be very popular until she and David are back together. David is over the top when he doesn't have Kylie and I think viewers only warmed to her in the beginning when she and Becky started to get on, and as David hadn't been as nasty as people could remember him being. I think David has been taught a lesson and now deserves for Kylie at least to hear him out. David didn't mean to cause the crash and through his fear that he would lose everything if Nick told the truth, I don't think he appreciated the risks that he was taking when he tried to get Nick to stop the car.

Coronation Street star Paula Lane has spoken about her character's role in this year's Christmas episodes, revealing that Kylie Platt will hit "rock bottom" over the festive period.
Kylie has a tough Christmas ahead as the trauma of her split from husband David (Jack P Shepherd) takes its toll, sending her off the rails again.
Lane explained: "Kylie is already on a downward spiral. Her marriage is on the rocks. I think Kylie has to get right down to rock bottom in order to get back up, so that's what is going to happen.
"There'll be lots of tantrums and tears at Christmas. Kylie will be feeling sorry for herself, because she's got massive insecurities. She won't be a favourite on the street at Christmas time, and I'm fully prepared for people to say they have no sympathy for her, because actually I don't have a lot of sympathy for her either.
"I think she needs to buck her ideas up a little bit, but reverting to her wild ways is her defence mechanism. Kylie does that because she hasn't had the love, care and attention that a lot of people usually have during their childhood. She reverts back to her old self and she pushes people away, rather than accepting their help."
Lane was speaking at the grand unveiling of the new Coronation Street set at MediaCityUK.
Discussing the new Street, she commented: "It's fantastic that it looks the same. They've muckied things up exactly the same, to help show 53 years of wear and tear! It's just amazing and the thought process behind it is unbelievable."
Coronation Street will begin filming at its new set next year.

I have no sympathy for her
Nor me. She could have David back in a second so if she's feeling neglected, it's of her own doing. It will be interesting over Christmas if more people will have something to do with David than Kylie though.
Coronation Street's David Platt decides to hand himself in to the police next week as his family continue to shun him.
Fearing that the Platts will never forgive him for what he did to Nick (Ben Price), an emotional David heads to the police station and prepares to accept his fate. Will anyone stop him before it's too late?
Here, Jack P Shepherd - who plays David - reveals why his character has reached this desperate point.
How does David feel about the way his family is shutting him out?
"He's feeling really depressed. He's tried to make amends with Kylie and Gail, and all he can say is how sorry he is, but they're having none of it."
How does David react when Nick orders him to leave the street or he'll tell everyone David tried to kill him?
"When Nick pins David up against the wall telling him to leave the family alone, he feels completely alone in the world. He goes to drown his sorrows in The Rovers, and then Kylie comes in and tells him to leave as no-one wants him around. At this point, David is feeling so down and unwanted and thinks his only option is to confess all to the police."
What is more important to David - winning back Kylie or seeing Max and Lily?
"Seeing Max and Lily. I think he has almost given up hope of getting back with Kylie. He doesn't even ask that anymore. I think all he wants to do now is see his kids and get some sort of relationship back with them."
David tells Kylie that he was suicidal when he first found out that she'd slept with Nick. How does she react?
"She almost gets back with him at this point. David pours his heart out to her and tells Kylie how he found out about her and Nick when he was listening on the stairs. He tells her he just wanted to die because he was in so much pain. David bares all to Kylie, which makes her emotional. David tries to win her round, but all of a sudden Kylie flips and starts shouting at him again."
Could those suicidal thoughts return?
"If Kylie stops him from seeing the kids and if his family continues to shun him, then I think he could be driven to having suicidal thoughts again."
Things look up for a moment when Gail lets David see Lily and Max, but then Nick arrives and chucks him out…
"Yeah, David is so over the moon when Gail lets him see the kids so when Nick comes in and starts yelling at David to get out, it's heartbreaking for him. He tells Nick he doesn't want any trouble and leaves."
Nick then gives Gail an ultimatum and forces her to choose between the two brothers. When does David find out about Gail's decision?
"Gail texts David and tells him to come round to put the kids to bed. At first, this is a pleasant surprise for David because he knows Gail was there when Nick chucked him out and he didn't think he'd be called round again so soon.
"David goes over and puts the kids to bed, and then Gail tells him he can't see the kids again. David's really confused and shocked. He thought he was making progress with his family and now he feels like he's gone right back to the beginning."
Why does David think handing himself in to the police will help the situation?
"Because it just seems to be what everybody wants and he doesn't feel like he has any other alternative. Everyone seems to be closing doors on him and he just doesn't see any other way out of it. He thinks that if he does this, then at least people will know he's sorry for his actions."
Why does Nick not want David to do this?
"Nick and Kylie put two and two together and Nick heads to the police station. He doesn't really know what he's going to say to David. I think half of Nick wants him to go down for what he did, but the other half knows what effect it will have on Gail, Max and Lily. So he goes to the station and tells David he can't hand himself him because of what it will do to his mum."
If David's family don't want him to go to the police, what do they want?
"I think they just want him to stay away and go into a corner where they know that he's still alive but they don't have any interference from him. Right now, I think he's definitely given up on Kylie. He's accepted that she doesn't want to be married to him anymore, but he still really loves her…"

They are living in his house and taking liberties. Kylie needs to leave
Coronation Street star Paula Lane has announced that she is pregnant with her first child.
The 28-year-old actress, who married her long-term partner Tom Shaw last month, revealed the news on her Twitter page this afternoon (June 5).
She told fans: "@SirTomShaw and I are thrilled to announce we have a Christmas pud in the oven! SURPRISE!"
Lane was immediately flooded with messages from fans who congratulated her on the news.
"@hannahjulia27: @lane_paula @SirTomShaw congratulations. You will both make fantastic parents. Xx" thanks Hannah! Very excited! Xx
— Paula_Lane (@lane_paula) June 5, 2014
Lane first started dating fellow actor Shaw when she was 17. The couple announced their engagement in December 2011 and tied the knot at Leeds Cathedral three weeks ago with friends and family in attendance.
On screen in Coronation Street, Lane's character Kylie Platt is mum to two children, Max and Lily.
Lane's co-star Jennie McAlpine, who plays Fiz Stape, also recently announced that she is expecting her first child.

Coronation Street star Paula Lane has discussed her upcoming break from the show, revealing that she is hoping for a "dramatic" new storyline for her character Kylie Platt.
The actress is currently pregnant with her first child and will be taking maternity leave towards the end of the year, forcing show bosses to create a temporary exit storyline for Kylie.
Lane broke the news to Corrie's producer Stuart Blackburn in a meeting a few weeks ago and was pleased when he soon came up with an idea for how to write Kylie out.
She told The Sun's TV Magazine: "It had to sink in, but then I saw this light bulb go off in his head. I hope it's only going to improve what they already had in mind for Kylie and give them scope to do something quite dramatic.
"I am apprehensive because I love David and Kylie together and I was worried that I might have jeopardised that. Jack P Shepherd [who plays David] was a little bit shocked when I told him about the baby, but then he gave me a cuddle and was like, 'Well done'.
"He's been through it twice so he'll be on hand to give me advice. Now he says he thinks David needs to go off and have a little dabble!"

Lane, who is currently contracted with Corrie until next May, also insisted that she doesn't want to tone down Kylie's behaviour just because she is filming while pregnant.
She said: "I think Kylie's going to stay quite wild. I said to Stuart I'm ready for that because I've had a very quiet past six months, so I'm not going to let how well I'm feeling hinder me. Obviously any fighting would have to be adapted, but her personality is not going to suddenly mellow."
Lane's co-star Jennie McAlpine (Fiz Stape) is also expecting a baby and show bosses are bringing back her on-screen mother Cilla Battersby-Brown for a guest stint to facilitate her temporary departure.

Kylie reaches breaking point
The scenes in question air next week, as Kylie is mentally and physically exhausted while looking after her young daughter Lily, dealing with Max's problems and also working on the salon accounts.
Kylie immediately regrets her terrible decision, but is then left in a panic as she wonders how to explain the missing pills to David.
Paula Lane, who plays Kylie, commented: "She is at her wits' end when she takes the pills - she is tired and frustrated. She needs a moment of calm to get her accounts done and Lily is screaming.
"Afterwards she feels distraught and disgusted with herself. She's in panic mode and doesn't know how to tell David."
Needing a friend, Kylie confides in Eva Price (Catherine Tyldelsey) about what she has done, but ultimately ignores her when she suggests coming clean to David.

Eva offers Kylie some advice
Lane continued: "She attempts to follow Eva's advice but caves in and lies to David. She tells him she's misplaced Max's pills. In her mind, she's adamant that she'll never take them again - she doesn't want to put herself in that predicament again."
In real life, Lane has been researching the issue of ADHD to ensure that the Platt family's experiences with Max's condition are portrayed accurately on screen.
She explained: "I feel I owe it to the viewers to get it right, and people who live with ADHD. Hopefully we can help raise awareness - it's not a disease and can be dealt with, with the right help and support."

Why is Kylie doing the salon accounts?
Is the salon not still owned by David when Audrey gave it to him during her Lewis days? Maybe she is the better admin than David??
Coming up on Coronation Street, Kylie Platt takes drastic action as she searches for answers on her son Max's condition.
After David (Jack P Shepherd) catches Kylie (Paula Lane) taking some of Max's pills, he is furious and refuses to leave the children alone with her.
As Kylie and David's relationship remains strained, Kylie decides to do some digging by herself in order to get to the bottom of Max's ADHD diagnosis.
Heading back to her old neighbourhood, Kylie bumps into an old friend called Gemma. As they get talking, Kylie reveals that she wants to talk to Max's dad and Gemma confirms that he is around, saying she will pass a message on.
The following day, Kylie lies to David, saying she is too unwell to go to work, and later heads to the bus station.
As Eva finds her, she offers to accompany Kylie back to the neighbourhood, and they soon find Gemma in the pub.
However, Kylie is disappointed that there appears to be no sign of Max's dad Callum, but just as she is about to leave, she spots him. But will he be able to help her?

Callum and Kylie talk.
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Friday, October 3 at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
If you think Max's bad behaviour is due to someone else and you are looking for someone to blame....look into your own behaviour Kylie. I thought ADHd was not something that was inherited and if its not then this storyline is misleading people. If they wanted his dad to be in Corrie they could have found another way to factor him in.
Troubled mum Kylie Platt has a huge few months ahead on Coronation Street in the build-up to her temporary departure from the soap.
Next week's episodes see Kylie revisit her past as she tracks down her old flame Callum Logan (Sean Ward), wanting answers about their son Max's ADHD diagnosis.
However, seeing Callum again is the start of a new downward spiral for Kylie as he soon starts supplying her with speed - sending her off the rails once more.
Here, Paula Lane - who plays Kylie - chats about Callum's arrival, the drugs storyline and how the drama to come feeds into her real-life maternity leave.
How did you feel when you heard that Kylie would be returning to her old ways?
"I first heard about it from Jack P Shepherd! He'd had a little meeting with the show's producer Stuart Blackburn and afterwards he sent me a text saying, 'Kylie's going to be a full-on druggie!' After that I wanted more clarification. When you hear about a big shift for your character you think, 'Oh crikey, how am I going to play this one?'
"I'm very aware that the producers upstairs and the creative team always want something quite big for Kylie. That, for an actress, is actually really flattering. I was a little bit shocked and I didn't see it coming, but I've really enjoyed playing it. There's been a lot of truth, a lot of depth and a lot of layers to the storyline. They haven't just gone into it on a whim - they've really done their research."
Why does Kylie start to revisit her old life?
"Kylie initially goes back to some of her old haunts for the right reasons. She wants answers about Max's ADHD from a genetic perspective by speaking to his biological father Callum. The last time she saw Callum was on Granada Reports for a vicious assault on a judge!
"After Max was born, Callum did come round and push the pram for a little bit, but the novelty wore off. So it's very hostile between Kylie and Callum when they see each other again, but it's also electric and I can't wait for everyone to see it. There's still a strong chemistry between the two characters.
"If you were working in a theatre, you'd be able to workshop a relationship like this for a few days at least and figure out what kind of dynamic you'd want to get from it. Me and Sean Ward had a day, if that, and then we were doing scenes back-to-back! But he's fabulous and I think he's going to add a new flavour to the Street."
Is Kylie still attracted to Callum?
"I think Callum has got a charm about him and that's the thing - he can really make Kylie feel excited. I guess there is a little bit of desire there. In my head, they were the king and queen on the estate where they come from. They used to rule the roost, so Kylie does get a kick out of being with Callum again. He's also happy that she's on his patch again."
Eva goes along for the first meeting with Callum too, doesn't she?
"Yeah, and that's great because Kylie and Eva do have history and it's been nice to improve on that. It's hilarious actually as you see Eva walk into this pub in Kylie's old neighbourhood and she's like 'Ugh' as she thinks it's really scummy! One of Kylie's old acquaintances comes over and Kylie is like, 'Alright Macca!' She's in her element, while Eva wants to go home and have a shower! I guess it's quite a shock to Eva to see Kylie in her old haunts.
"Kylie doesn't tell David that she's been to see Callum, so she feels extremely guilty afterwards."
Does Callum show much interest in Max?
"Not initially. It's more just that Callum is surprised and pleased to see Kylie. As time goes by, Kylie reveals that she's happily married to a hairdresser which doesn't go down very well in the pub! Callum can't really offer Max anything, so whatever happens, his intentions won't be honourable."
Why does Kylie start taking speed?
"It's because she's been taking Max's medication for the ADHD. For somebody who doesn't suffer from ADHD, that medication would give you the same effects that speed would. In Kylie's past she has been an addict, so this obviously feeds her demons. She's aware of what she needs and how she can get it quickly. It does come out in the Platt family that she's been taking Max's medication, so that means she can't take it anymore because they block her access to it and then she needs to find a different route."
What research did you do for the speed addiction storyline and how it would affect Kylie?
"I think it's different for every person. What one individual experiences after taking something might not be the same as another person. Kylie is trying to hide it a lot of the time as well, so I've just tried to go off the writing a lot of the time.
"The producers were great as I actually had a meeting with a recovering addict and she was really helpful. She told me all of the horrors and more. I came away feeling like I'd been opened up to this new world. I almost wanted to cry because I just thought, 'Wow, this does really go on out there'."
Do you think it's a good story for Corrie to tackle in that case?
"Absolutely. It's also great that Corrie are supporting someone like me, who's got to play it out to millions of people. I've got to do it justice."
What surprised you most from the research?
"I didn't know that you could actually inject speed. That's obviously the real darkest point of the drug. I also didn't know that it was the opposite to heroin, where your body absolutely needs it. Speed is actually more mental and psychological. You hallucinate and essentially go a bit stir crazy, so I heard all of these stories.
"I'm trying to use that and keep it in mind - just how agitated Kylie is at times when she's trying to hide the fact that she needs her next fix. She has a psychological need for it."
Is Kylie going to spiral out of control?
"Massively. She's already had some really dark times on the Street. There was the time when she broke down with Gail and the audience first saw that hint of vulnerability with her. There was also the breakdown when she had the one-night stand with Nick and went off the rails a little bit.
"This will be another downward spiral, but having said that, I think this is the darkest place that Kylie has ever found herself in."
Do you want Kylie to stay sympathetic?
"Absolutely. That is the crux of the character. I found very, very quickly that I couldn't play this character as a one-dimensional bitch. The audience wouldn't have been able to like her in that case.
"I think everybody is built up of so many different parts. Kylie's past experience is that she's had a tough upbringing, but her vulnerability shows through. She's quite sensitive so I've really wanted to keep that. I haven't wanted Kylie to enjoy going back to speed - it's been a real test for her."
Does David start to notice that something isn't quite right with Kylie as she continues to take drugs?
"Yeah, he does notice quite a big change just because she's tired, grumpy, agitated and has a short fuse. They've just got Max on the straight and narrow, but now Lily starts playing up as she's teething. David puts it down to that - just normal daily problems that parents go through, but it's one thing too far for Kylie to deal with."
How will your real-life pregnancy be hidden on screen?
"It's amazing what a baggy top can do! I have been very lucky as I've stayed quite a similar shape to what I was before. The wardrobe department at Corrie have been great and you can cheat it with patterns and a big handbag. It's the magic of television! My first disguise was a fruit bowl and a teapot, so I couldn't move from the spot!"
Do you still have a heavy filming schedule?
"Yeah, but Corrie have been great. They said, 'You must let us know if it gets too much', but I was adamant that they weren't taking this from me! They've been really accommodating.
"I have been tired, but to be pregnant and accomplishing something feels really successful. I've had a kick out of it and I've never really felt that coming to work here is actually work. It is hard with the line-learning and everything else, but everyone pulls together."
When is the baby due?
"Mid-December. I'm hoping to return to filming in March, so I'm not having an excessive amount of time off - but that was just a personal choice. I've got a very good support network, so I'll be making arrangements to come back and get my feet back on the Street.
"I think it's going to be a traumatic exit for Kylie. It will also be quite strange getting a taster of what it would feel like to actually leave the Street."
How did the producers feel about losing you for a few months?
"It actually meant they had more scope for this story. I was terrified and I couldn't tell Stuart at first, but he said it was great as they could push the story further."
Kylie's dark story will be coming to a head at Christmas. How do you feel about getting the big festive story?
"This is my third Christmas with quite a big story! Initially I did state that I would have liked to have worked longer up to the birth, but realistically after being as busy as I have been, I will be happy to go at that point which just times it perfectly for an exit at Christmas. I don't think I could have asked for a better audience because the drama always peaks at Christmas. So I'll finish filming in the first week of November at the latest."
What are your career aspirations outside of Corrie?
"I feel so rewarded to be on this job, but in a perfect world I would love to come out and tread the boards, do something at the Royal Exchange or a drama that hadn't been done before. Everyone always asks if I'd like to do a period drama and I would, but I'd also love to do something like Doctor Who or another sci-fi series.
"I am staying with Corrie after my maternity leave. I haven't got anything in motion yet, but I do have a time-span in my head of how long I'd like to stay for - although that could change, so I just go with whatever my instinct tells me at the time. I think if I wasn't able to go off and do a few guest roles, then I would have to really consider a departure but I'm not there yet."
You kept your wedding out of the magazines this year. Is it a deliberate choice from you to stay out of the celebrity world?
"Yeah, it is. I was always taught at drama school that if you do the celebrity route, you'll find it very, very hard to come out of something like Corrie and find work. Not necessarily in the sense of earning money, but in terms of finding the right roles for me afterwards.
"I've always been very conscious and took on that advice. My gut instinct is to have my privacy - I don't necessarily want people knowing everything about my private life. It's been a conscious decision and something that I'm very happy with, so that definitely won't change!"

I don't think that's entirely true. She's just not coping at the moment and David is making it harder for her. That's no excuse for turning to drugs though.

Why is Kylie doing the salon accounts?
She was doing her own accounts. She looks after her own side of the business (manicures etc.) within the overall business.
Coronation Street's David Platt will visit his wife Kylie's old neighbourhood in an upcoming episode.
Jack P Shepherd, who plays David, filmed the scenes out on location with co-star Catherine Tyldesley yesterday afternoon (October 27).

Paparazzi photographs taken at the scene show David arriving at The Dog and Gun pub, which Kylie has been secretly visiting over the past few weeks.
Accompanied by Tyldesley's character Eva Price, David is seemingly in search of answers as he confronts Kylie's old friend Macca outside the dodgy pub.
Further storyline details are unknown at this stage, but the pictures give a strong hint that Kylie won't be able to keep her recent bad behaviour secret from David for much longer.

Will Macca provide any help?
Kylie was drawn back to her old neighbourhood earlier this month. Although she claimed that she wanted to track down her old flame Callum Logan for answers on their son Max's ADHD diagnosis, it was the bad boy's drug supply which kept her coming back for further visits.
The feisty character's dark storyline is building up to a temporary exit as Paula Lane will soon be taking maternity leave.
Speaking last week, Coronation Street's producer Stuart Blackburn explained: "There is some incredibly moving, powerful stuff. I think all of you know that there will come a point where, for obvious reasons, Kylie vanishes.
"The story doesn't end there because by then, David will have wound up Callum, who is not only Kylie's violent ex but is also the father of Max. He will do anything he can to get payback from David. We might also find that he has a few legal rights over Max as well given that he is his natural father."

Don't fancy this storyline one little bit, I can understand the "street" wanting to do outside broadcasting, but half these characters mean nothing to us, and I could quite happily see Kylie disapear and never come back, talk about not a nice character, and for a young mum, she sets a very bad example, then again, i guess thats the way the streets of Britian have become, ohhh don't care bout what the outcome is!!
Coronation Street stars Jack P Shepherd and Paula Lane have warned that there is another miserable Christmas ahead for the Platt family.
The pair's characters David and Kylie Platt will take centre stage once again in this year's festive episode as Kylie's ongoing storyline comes to a head.
Kylie has recently been drawn back into her old life as she has become reacquainted with her bad boy ex Callum Logan, who has been supplying her with drugs.
With Kylie due to depart Weatherfield for a while due to Lane's real-life maternity leave, it's only a matter of time before her double life is exposed to her family.
Speaking of the drama to come, Shepherd warned: "David is going to be having a very miserable Christmas. There's lots of drama, agony and emotional scenes for David."
Lane added: "I think it's safe to say there'll be sparks flying and not for the right reasons. There's never a dull Christmas in the Platts'. Kylie's had one bad Christmas after another so I think she should resign herself to the fact that she's not destined to have a happy time during the festive season.
"Let's just say Callum will be ruffling a few turkey feathers!"
Asked whether the family will even make it to Christmas dinner, Lane replied: "Yes, although how happy an occasion it will be is questionable! There's going to be a lot of tensions and tears on Christmas Day, but hopefully the kids will have a good day at least."

Not sure why a nice girl or a fiesty but normal
girl would be interested in David.The character
is now nearly 24 but his appearance, facial
expressions etc are like someone a decade
younger who thinks theyve been clever at the
expense of the grown-ups.
Although he has shown genuine affection for
Max &Lily -his behaviour is repititiously bad-
if not evil.But there is no real retribution,
or investigation into reasons for behaviour
or treatment sought for whatever condition
is causing behaviour and delaying development.
Probably well beyond scope of SWs- seeing the
bodge theyve made(so far) of Steves depression.!
So to me-it would be unbelievable that a girl
of his age who wasnt needy and didnt have a
lot of problems would become involved with
him.Hes not even bad in the"right" way to
attract girls who like a bit of excitement before
they settle down etc.

Yep, lets keep misery moaning minnie away, and bring in a gutsy lass, typical northern would be good, not afraid of Misery face and is actually in work (not in the street!!) dare I say it, she may even have a decent job, now that would upset, the bar maids, grocers assistants, factory lassess, in fact any one who works conveniently on the "street".
Would be great to see DAvid gloating with his "money bag" catch, think of how he would be then!!!

Not being female I wouldn't know whether he's fanciable or not but I do think he's very funny. He delivers some great one liners and his facial expressions are priceless at times. Personally, I love him - in a platonic way of course.
Beauty and fanciable is in the eye of the beholder.. I have always liked David, even when he was a brat .. I think he has developed into a mature adult, taking on Max as his own and being a good dad to him and Lily and forgiving Kylie for her .. indiscretion, which I don't think was an easy thing to do. And he has a good sense of humour, I like him and I am sorry that the scriptwriters have to cause heartbreak because his onscreen wife goes on maternity leave in real life and scriptwriters rarely handle it the right way in my opinion.

I agree with general.comments about Tina.
I liked the character until unbelievable
affair with Peter - which.was a plot device.
Davids relationship with Tina was years ago
when he was younger. My main point is that
instead of "maturing" his behaviour/silly facial
expressions is still extremely juvenile and in
some ways getting worse and will probably
continue to do so- unnoticed by his family.
I think that any girl with spirit and money would
wsnt a lot more for her time& money than David
and his boring repetitive behaviour. If she
did want a 'challenge" could find much more
interesting( in all ways) men.!
I think the only way he could progress is not
with a new girlfriend- but after medical
analysis and treatment.

Aye, I know what you mean, I find I chuckle at him!

I hope no one thought I was commenting on David's looks. The thought never entered my head to be honest. I don't think he's a catch down to his behaviour, which MaidMarian describes very well.
I've loved the character since the Demon David days and he nearly always makes me laugh. I'm glad that the demon still emerges from time to time as he's very entertaining, though I agree he should have been punished more over the years.
He is an excellent father, a fact which I'm sure surprised many viewers, including me. :eek:

I did say in my original post that David did show
genuine affection for Max & Lily . I cant disagree
with your comments apart from forgiving Kylie
which I think.was more about control.
But David is such an erratic person and when
tbings dont suit flies into a violent tantrum
and dont think he can compartmentlise.
So that when something happens in the future
that upsets him- not caused by the children:
they could be innocent victims of his anger
Cases in papers/tv where parents
seem loving but a trigger angers them and
children suffer- often horrendously.
I agree they could have written Kylie out
without the drugs scenario. But think
Maxs father would have re-appeared for
drama and to cause another David outburst
which some viewers like !

Kylie Platt will face her most challenging Christmas yet as she leaves Weatherfield when her two worlds collide.
Kylie's ongoing drug storyline will culminate in a dramatic Christmas Day episode when David (Jack P Shepherd) catches Callum at their house having given Kylie a bag of speed.
As Kylie's family life implodes, the dramatic turn of events paves the way for a temporary exit for the character due to Paula Lane's pregnancy.
Here, Paula chats about Kylie's nightmare Christmas, what fans can expect from the episodes and how David will cope in the wake of her departure.
As Christmas week approaches, how is Kylie coping?
"She's actually doing okay on the week leading up to Christmas. It starts quite positively and I think Kylie's so keen to get things back to normal at home and between her and David. I think she wants to focus on having a proper family Christmas as the last two were awful! Kylie wants everything back on the straight
and narrow so she really tries to bury everything that's happened and rally round to make it really special for the kids. That's not to say she isn't struggling with her addiction, and Callum is still sniffing around so it's proving to be a big challenge for her to move on while he's piling on the pressure by being round every corner she seems to turn!"
How is Kylie's drug addiction at this point?
"She's very much still weaning herself off them. It was the worst thing imaginable for her when she was caught taking drugs in the pub by David and she absolutely knows that she's on thin ice with him. She knows that she has got to really pull herself together if she's to stand a chance of keeping the family together. But it's a real struggle for her, especially when Callum dangles the temptation in front of her all of the time. She's in the throes of an addiction but she's trying to bury it so she can piece her life back together."
Is life a constant battle between drugs, and her life with David and the kids?
"Well it definitely has been, and was, before David caught her. She knows which side her bread is buttered and there's no doubt about it that she knows she wants her life at home with David. But, as I said, she is in the throes of an addiction and it isn't easy to ignore. After David caught her though, she knew she had to knock it on the head so it's not really a case of drugs 'winning', she just knows that she has to change her ways and leave Callum and the drugs behind."
Can she not talk to David and ask for his help?
"It's forbidden territory I think - she almost doesn't want to remind him of what she's done, not that he could have forgotten. The main problem they have is a trust issue - it's going to be a big talking point between them. She needs David to trust her so she can move on from it."
Does she try and overcompensate with presents on Christmas Day?
"Yes, to an extent I think she tries to pull out all the stops so that everything is as perfect for the kids as possible. She does go on a bit of a shopping spree - it is a way of her overcompensating because she feels so guilty for nearly tearing the family apart again."
Is Kylie worried that seeing Callum will make things even worse?
"She's tried desperately to get rid of him, because seeing him is temptation enough to go backwards instead of forwards. There's a scene where he gets a bag of drugs out and she just rips them up. She's really proud of herself for that. She thinks she's shown him and that she's got him in his weak spot because it really angers him. Kylie hopes that this will mean she has one up on him and he might realise that she's serious about kicking her addiction. Unfortunately Callum has other ideas."
What goes through her mind when she spots Callum taking his car to the garage?
"She feels sick to the stomach. First of all she tells him to leave her alone; she's already told him to stay away and he's obviously not listening to her. He thinks that luring Kylie in with a big bag of drugs will be enough to tempt her so I do think he's quite shocked at how adamant she is that she doesn't want them. When he presents the drugs to her Kylie's quite facetious about it; she pretends that she's going in to kiss him so he thinks all his Christmases have come at once, but she rips his drugs up into the air instead."
Why has he come to the street?
"He wants Kylie back, 100%, and he thinks that if he can keep tempting her back to him by feeding her addiction then he'll get her back where he wants her. Callum's even told her that he's not even really bothered about Max, he just wants her. He has a very dark presence."
Is there any part of Kyle that has feelings for Callum? Or is it simply that he has been able to give her what she wants?
"I think they've got history, so there is probably a tiny spark there. But it's water under the bridge - she's married, she's got David and another child now. Kylie's got a career and her life was progressing quite nicely. When she weighs it up she knew exactly what was right for her and it took her so long to get there."
Can you talk us through the events of Christmas Day?
"They've had such a lovely Christmas Eve and Christmas Day morning is nice too before it takes a turn for the worst. David buys her a family bauble and she really does feel like things are slowly coming back together. She's so relieved to be with her family and she gets a bit choked. David and Gail go over to see Nick so Kylie is left at home to prepare the dinner. She comes down into the living room with Max and Callum's standing there. Kylie feels sick and she can't believe he's turned up not only on the Street but this time he's let himself into the house. She knows she has to get rid of him before David gets back so she goes into a blind panic. He refuses to leave and gets out a bag of drugs and offers them to her."
What happens when David walks in and catches her with Callum?
"The situation could not look any worse than it does when David comes into the house and catches them in the living room. Callum has the drugs right out there in Kylie's face so it looks as though she's asking for them and he's handing them to her. It's just really really bad timing. Kylie is absolutely devastated. David demands to know what's going on and Callum absolutely relishes the situation."
How does Kylie try and get out of it?
"She's almost done at that moment, she's resigned herself to the fact that she's just not destined to have her happy ending. Kylie's given up, she thinks everything she's ever thought about life letting you down has proved to be correct. Kylie knows there is no hope for her and that David will never believe her when she tells him that she didn't invite Callum to the house."
What prompts David and Callum to start fighting?
"Callum takes the whole situation in and really enjoys winding David up. He says to David, "Don't you just love her when she's angry," and keeps making little remarks that imply him and Kylie have been having an affair. He insinuates that he's been giving her drugs and that they've been seeing each other when he tells David he's been giving Kylie a lot more than just speed. David completely sees red."
Can you explain how Kylie leaves?
"I won't say too much but it's incredibly emotional and raw, and very, very sad. They manage to get rid of Callum but David is adamant that they are to have to the Christmas Day that they'd planned for the kids. He keeps her hanging on all day and she feels like the condemned man waiting to see how this will all pan out. It's excruciatingly painful for everyone involved."
How do the rest of the family react to everything?
"I think everyone is really unnerved by David's behaviour. Nobody knows what he's going to do next or how he's going to react. He's acting almost possessed and he's absolutely insistent on them all acting normally for the kids. It' unnerving."
We know she leaves David and the kids behind – how hard would it have been for her to do that?
"Gosh, absolutely heartbreaking. She'd be completely shattered. But I think Kylie has no self-worth and at this point thinks they would all be much better off without her."
How do you think David is going to cope without her?
"I hope I watch the episodes after Kylie's left and see him pining for Kylie! I don't want to be seeing him with a new girlfriend or wife that's for sure! (laughs). I'm not sure how he'll cope but I do have a feeling that he'll really struggle without her. They'd managed to reconcile after David found her with the drugs in the pub and it was a really tender moment, which makes Christmas Day even more heartbreaking when it all shatters into pieces."
Do you feel sorry for her?
"I do feel sorry for her, yes. I'm very protective over Kylie and I do think she has a good heart in there. She just seems to find herself drawn into trouble and I don't think she'll ever get past that. She wanted to make amends so much and have a nice Christmas but Callum refused to let her move on. It is really sad."
Are you pleased with your temporary exit?
"I really am. It's been incredibly hard work and it has had such a mixed reaction from the audience. Some viewers don't want to see a character that they love go down such a dark road. A lot of viewers are really sad to see her end up in this situation but in terms of drama it has been great to play."
When Kylie comes back, how do you think she will return?
"I think she's going to come back on the bones of her backside, but who knows!"
Will you be tuning into Coronation Street on Christmas Day?
"All being well, as long as I'm not in labour! We always watch it on Christmas Day so it will be good if we do get to watch it."
Do you have any new years resolutions?
"I'd like to chill out a lot more and not put so much pressure on myself. I'd like to be able to take a deep breath and roll with it."

Thank goodness for JUlie and Mary, least they can bring some fun and laughter.

Coronation street should have David bringing up the kids on his own rather than have a life with Kylie. They will always live on the edge if they take her back. How many chances are you supposed to give here. There are kids involved who need stability.kids need stability ad security and feelings of being safe.

Not a particular Kylie fan but has been written

viewers in general thought they were a reasonably

To have stability a child needs at least one stable
parent or carer and David is not a stable person
He does have affection for the children but they
need consistency as well whereas he is erratic and
tantrumy. David doesnt have enough self-control.to
compartmentalise.This may not have affected the
children yet.bu it would no doubt do so in real life
and then there would hand-wringing and why did no
one do anything.
Its all a matter of opinion( which is why Social Services
get a lot of crticism) wben theyve given parents benefit of
doubt too many times. Fortunately they are not real
life children in this situation.
Whatever happens to them it will be a result of SWs
whims/ competition over audience figures or actors
leaving/ taking breaks etc.No resemblence to
likelihood.in.real.life.
So we wait to see what way the story goes.!

Agree David does have a history but he has changed in many ways and always seems to put the children first. He has been brilliant with Max since his diagnosis.

It was less than a year ago that he tried to kill Nick though! :eek:
I don't think he set out to kill him though .. I think the argument in the car just sent David over the top, I don't think he ever meant to seriously hurt Nick let alone kill him

Im afraid we will have to disagree on this one.
There have been some recent improvements
in Davids behaviour in certain areas but this
has to be set against years of inexplicable
nastiness and evil ( still continuing )
against a lot of people-usually for no
other reason than things dont suit him.
Until it is established what has caused
this ingrained pattern of behaviour,
treatment received and his acceptance
that there is a problem- then his occasional
improvements dont mean he is safe to
have care of children - no matter how
genuine his affection .
It would be great to think everyone was
redeenable but it requires much more
consistent effort than is shown at the
moment.
Basically the producers are after increased
ratings and the saying that everyone in
Corrie will get a come uppance isnt true
with David.
My bottom line- where children are involved-
is you cant take chances.

He didnt kill Nick - but was so irrational
at the time- its not possible to know what
he meant to do- including knowing what
he intended to.do himself
Which is one of my main reasons for
thinking he should not have care of children
- because the irrationality is frequent.
I'm glad that someone else agrees with me about David, Maid Marian! :) He's certainly been good to the kids recently, but I think Demon David's still there hiding beneath a very thin veneer of respectability.
I don't think he set out to kill him though .. I think the argument in the car just sent David over the top, I don't think he ever meant to seriously hurt Nick let alone kill him
I remember arguing about this at the time, but I'm certain that David intended to kill Nick. Here are my reasons:-
1. When the crash happened, just before grabbing hold of the wheel David very deliberately undid Nick's seatbelt. There's no other possible reason to do this other than to kill or seriously harm Nick. You can see it at 12.42 in the following video. It happens very quickly but I've paused it and it's definitely Nick's seatbelt he undoes.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuZarBt9-zA
2, David was going to put a pillow over Nick's face (ie kill him) when the latter was close to regaining consciousness in the hospital, to prevent the truth getting out. It didn't happen only because they were disturbed.
3. David was accused time and time again by his family of attempting to kill Nick and he never once denied it. I was watching closely for a denial because I was so certain that David tried to kill Nick whilst most people were saying it was an accident.
Anyway, whatever people think of David's motives now, he was seriously dangerous during this storyline and it only happened a year ago. I'd leave my kids with Kylie over David any day!
Forgot about the pillow ... :o
Forgot about the pillow ... :o
It's easily done. :)
I think David always went off the rails when he was feeling really insecure and threatened. Maybe Max's dad Callum will push his buttons again which will bring Kylie back eventually ... I still think Dave and Kylie are well suited and can make this work ...
They should have a social services building in corrie by the sounds of it. I think Sally is one of the few good parents on the street despite her snobish behaviour she has been consistant with her kids throughout, Anna and Eileen ok too.
Very behind in episodes but just saw how horrible David was to kylie on Wednesdays episodes when she was reaching out for support
Not always easy to give support when you are scared and don't really understand what the other person is going through. David needs to get his head around Kylie being an addict and needs to get informed himself about what would be the best support for Kylie ... I would have dragged her to a doctor to get help, but that is too easy in soaps
parkerman
13-12-2014, 16:39
Actually it's usually far too easy in soaps. They usually just walk into the doctor's and get seen right away. No need for appointments, no being told, "Sorry, can't do it today. Come back tomorrow." If only it was that easy in real life.....
But at least it shows them getting help ... might not be a realistic time frame in parts of UK (or everywhere in UK) but at least it might give good advice to viewers who are affected by the storyline ... as long as there is hope ....

Yes, I wasn't really disagreeing with the point you were making, i.e. that David should be doing more to help Kylie and maybe take her to the doctor.
It was a more general gripe I have about the way soaps in general seem to think that everything runs smoothly and you can just walk into the doctor's and voila she/he sees you right away or, like Tosh in Eastenders, put down a deposit in the morning and the flat's yours by the afternoon, no previous references, no bank check etc. etc.
However, yes, I agree with the point you were actually making.

Kylie never turned to drugs during all the stuff with Nick and her splitting with David but does now because Max needs to take medication for adhd, it is rushed for her exit storyline
Kylie looked obviously pregnant on the sofa in her white jumper so spoiled scenes for me.
Kylie never turned to drugs during all the stuff with Nick and her splitting with David but does now because Max needs to take medication for adhd, it is rushed for her exit storyline
Maybe it is the fact she had medication for Max that brought back her addiction ???

Yes, I think it can just about be explained by the fact that she was very stressed and she had drugs sitting right there in front of her (the same as Peter would be more likely to succumb to drink when stressed if Carla had an open bottle of wine in the fridge).

16-12-2014, 00:04

True but I'm sure there has been other medication in their house before, paracetmol is in every home and didn't Nick stay there too when he had the brain injury he had medications

.
Maybe those medicines don't have the same effect as Max's medicines
They would not have the same effect, I am pretty sure nor would she have thought about them in the same way. I can imagine that the change in Max's behaviour awakened something in Kylie to make her think about drugs again ..
I've read that the meds for ADHD act like speed on the brains of those without the illness. I guess Kylie, as a former addict, knew this so having the tablets in the house would have been an enormous temptation, especially given that she was so stressed at the time.
I think that paracetamol to Kylie would be akin to OJ to Peter - not a temptation at all as they wouldn't feed the addiction.
I agree it's a stretch that Kylie's addiction's never been hinted at before, but it's nothing compared to Tim forgetting how to read! :wall:

Kylies exit by making easier for her to

Yes - it is fiction and most viewers know

Wreaths when a character dies.
But soaps give themselves such haloes
about raising public awareness on issues
and it must be difficult to make a text book
case interesting and all personal exoeriences
are different.
So.when people with no experience of a
situation see a character with a specific
illness on tv they assume there may be
a some truth in it and that can foster
misconceptions.
So a lot less pious twaddle from Priducers
and a bit more accuracy in progs would
be nice.

It should definitely have been made clear in the script why Kylie started craving Max's meds. I'm pretty sure it's not widely known that ADHD meds are stimulants to non-sufferers of the illness. I didn't know myself until I did some reading around.
No wonder the storyline has caused so much confusion, and little sympathy for Kylie.
Coronation Street actress Paula Lane has spoken about how David reacts to Callum's true identity on Christmas Day.
Although David (Jack P Shepherd) knows of Kylie's drug-taking, the tipping point comes when he finds out that Callum (Sean Ward) is her dealer and her ex.

David catches Kylie and Callum.
© ITV
In an interview with The Mirror, Lane explained how Callum turns up at the house on Christmas morning when the news comes to light.
"David walks in just as Callum has a wrap of speed in his hand," she said. "He has made it look as if Kylie has asked him round to bring drugs.
"This is where it all comes tumbling down... Callum basically tells David that he is Kylie's ex, Kylie's drug dealer and Max's dad.
"At the end of Christmas Day, David asks Kylie if she has had a good day. Kylie thinks everything is okay between them again and she says yes. And David just replies, 'Good because that is the last Christmas Day you are going to have with your kids, so pack a bag and think about how you are going to say goodbye without upsetting them'."
She added: "There is this heart-wrenching scene when I am saying goodbye to Max, and I'm pleading with David but he just isn't having it, and he turns his back on me and I have to walk out."
The storyline will see Kylie leave the cobbles temporarily while Lane goes on maternity leave.

Coronation Street actress Paula Lane has welcomed a baby boy with her husband Tom Shaw.
The brunette beauty - who left the cobbles on Christmas Day for a break from the soap - announced her happy news on Twitter.
The 28-year-old, who plays Kylie Platt in the ITV1 show, wrote: "Our world is complete - we finished off a momentous year with the arrival of our beautiful baby boy on NYE!!!!"
Paula, who has appeared on the long-running soap since 2010, was immediately showered with congratulations messages from her Corrie crew.
The soap's main site posted: "Many congratulations to Coronation Street's Paula Lane, who plays Kylie Platt. Paula gave birth last night to a baby boy, on New Year's Eve."
Her co-star Catherine Tyldesley, who is currently expecting her first child, tweeted: "Massive congrats guys!!! Lots of love!! I'm cooking him a little pal as we speak ;-) xxx"
And fellow Corrie actress Debbie Rush, who plays Anna Windass, wrote: "Massive congratulations to lane-paula and SirTomShaw on the birth of your baby boy. What a way to start the year! Sending much love xxxxx"

David made her feel that the kids would be better off without her though. You could see that all the fight had gone out of her at the end - she felt utterly defeated. Given that she'll be back in a few months, I'd hazard a guess that she gets clean, gets her spirit back and realises that David's wrong.
It seemed to me that she wasn't living with Callum, despite what he said to David, so hopefully she's already made a start in sorting herself out.
kylie gets bored don't seem keen on being a full time mom her kids deserve better
Coronation Street producer Stuart Blackburn has said that Kylie Platt will need to clean up her act when she returns to the cobbles.
Kylie was at her lowest ebb when she left the Street at Christmas, as her drug-taking and secret meetings with bad boy ex-boyfriend Callum Logan led to the breakdown of her marriage to David.

Paula Lane as Kylie Platt
The troubled character will remain off screen for the next few months as Paula Lane, who plays her, is on maternity leave after recently becoming a new mum.
When Kylie does finally return, it will be just as David and Callum have become embroiled in a huge custody battle over her son Max.
Speaking on ITV's This Morning today (January 14), Blackburn commented: "She's 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."

Max and David
Discussing other storylines, Blackburn revealed that there is another new character on the way as Roy Cropper (David Neilson) will befriend a fresh addition to Weatherfield. :cheer:
This Morning host Phillip Schofield also asked Blackburn about recent press reports which suggested that Corrie is facing a 'ratings crisis'.
Blackburn said: "They've got to sell papers haven't they? Look, I think last year we were averaging 8 and a half million, 37%, which is way beyond our closest rivals. There was no crisis - there was just some brilliant storytelling."
I don't understand how Callum can possibly be a threat to David in a custody battle? Max barely knows him from Adam, he must have a relatively recent record for drugs and being violent and anything that David has been involved with the police for was years ago. David also has Gail etc to help out and Max has his sister with him while he's there. Didn't David also adopt Max at one point?
Convenient, very convenient.

I thought that too but looks like he is only his stepson and Callums name is on the birth certificate

I didnt think that Callums name was on
cert but cant be sure. When the story
started I did pose the question as to
whether it was "legal" for a man
marrying a woman with children could
just adopt the children without checks
on him and without reference to natural
father.
My reasons for asking were because of
how long and detailed the adoption
procedure is normally and also because
it seems to be accepted that some
paedos target single mothers with
children( not my concern in this case)
Those who replied seemed to think
it was ok! from their knowledge
and I "think" when it was said Callums
name not on cert.
It might be " soap legal" but still not
sure if its really legal and if it is seems
to leave loopholes in care of children!

Kim - just sent reply to swmc66 which
follows on from yr point.
I thought he was adopted as i saw something on the internet saying adopted son Max. I just googled before and it it says stepson. Plus stuart blackburn said recently Callums name on birth certificate.
On itv website is says Max is his adoptive son. But now we know callum is on birth certificate I dont know what that means legally

The legal position as far as I understand it is that if Callum's name is on the birth certificate, he would have to give permission for David to adopt Max. If he doesn't, the matter would have to go to court. If the court rules that David can become the adoptive parent then all Callum's rights cease and David is recognised in law as the father. If David has not be legally appointed as the adoptive father then Callum has father rights.

yes swmc - max is Davids stepson - because
he is married to Kylie maxs mother. Unless
the marriage turned out to be illegal for
any reason!
and yes according to storyline David did
adopt him. My query was really were
correct procedures followed and there
do seem some loopholes. But as we
know Soaps have their own legal
system.
Re Callums name on birth cert-
posters seemed to think not -
but Mr B. should know the latest
version!
we will just have to watch and
see what happens next !

Yes, Max is David's stepson, as maidmarian says, but that doesn't mean David has legally adopted him. And if he hasn't then Callum is his legal father.
I can remember that David said he'd adopt Max but I can't remember it actually being said that the adoption had been finalised. I guess it can't have been or the custody battle storyline wouldn't be going ahead.
Also, as well as Callum being Max's legal father, does he actually have a police record? He may be known to the police but if he hasn't been convicted of anything can that be held against him in a custody battle? We do know that David was convicted of pushing Gail down the stairs so he does actually have a record for violent behaviour.
I like the idea of this storyline and that nasty Callum apparently comes to love his son. I think it has potential to be great viewing.

I think it just became assumed that adoptiin
took place - but theres so many loose ends!!
I know from friends experience that adoption
is a very long winded process -rightly to
safe guard children - and the child they
did adopt was not related to them so its
not exactly same situation .
You are right abt his attack on Gail. Also
round that time wasnt he on a rampage
of wilful/criminal damage on cars&
phone boxes etc and attacking Ken!
Apart from everything else hes done
and got away with over the years.
So yes it would nice if Callum did
develop love and affection for Max.
Of course the SWs could always be
true to form and ret-con things
so that Kylie & Callum had married
and not divorced - so Max not Davids
stepson -a bit far- fetched but no
more so than other stories they've
done

Corrie will rely on us not remembering the facts. But their website has said adopted son Max. Stuart Blackburn has just disclosed Callums name will be on the birth certificate so it all does not make sense. So lets see how this story unfolds.
wasn't max in care when becky got him and then kylie tried to sell him to her, i also thought david adopted max
Yes, Max was in care and I thought David had adopted Max

yes -so did I originally -but doubtful about
procedures.
then some posters seemed to think not
and thought I must be mistaken.
had a look thru old spoilers( cant do link)
and found a pic from Episode 8208
titled" David Suggests adopting max"
but the general text has gone or
at least I cant find it.
I dont know whether more said on
screen or if it happened off screen
but not mentioned. I know u cant have
every minute detail on screen but
would have thought it quite an
important storyline.
Will have to wait to see how develops
or for anr pronouncement from Mr B!!
stuart forgets david adopted max now he has kylie gone and callum is around, silly mistakes by writers, fans are not stupid and forgetful
Callum has been in prison, Kylie said so. He must also have at least a few cautions under his belt for drugs, the way he's been going on. Can't remember if he mentioned anything though.

I did think David adopted Max legally and formally too just like Leanne with Simon, I think it wasn't shown on screen but was mentioned maybe by Kylie or Gail

If David has adopted Max legally, then Callum has no rights at all. None whatsoever.
