There are contradictions in the story
throughout- website/publicity statements
etc.
But I think the real reason it was never
properly sorted was it- it didnt need to be.
So adoption mentioned but just left
unfinished (or for assumptions to be
made )as far as viewers concerned
and it wouldnt really have mattered too
much.

Til they needed an exit Story for Kylie
- so brought Callum in on short contract-
he was more popular / better actor than
expected-so decided to extend his contract
and need reason to keep character in show
-so confuse issues on the adoption-
thinking viewers wont notice- and give
Callum more storyline.

there doesnt really seem to be attention
to continuity in recent years.

I'd agree with that overall but since in this case it's never been said onscreen (at least that anyone on this forum can remember) that Max was formally adopted by David, then I don't think it's that much of a contradiction. It certainly doesn't compare to Tim forgetting to read! :D

I like Max with David, for all his faults David is a good dad

Callum did not bother to track Max down until Kylie came looking for him for drugs and him wanting to know Max now seems more to one up on David and annoy David imo

I hope we hear David talk to Nick or Eva or Gail about that he forgot and never finalised Max's adoption as we the viewers all assumed he did or that Kylie forgot to sort it out

Probably Kylie will be blamed( or take the
blame) as part of rehabiliting the character
on the actress's return from maternity
leave.

From Wiki: 'In accordance with the official ITV website, David is listed as Max's adoptive father. Although the adoption has been discussed in previous storylines, this has never been confirmed onscreen. The character continues to be credited with the surname "Turner". '

So, as clear as mud then.
