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

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

It doesn't sound like Paula intends leaving yet though. She's just had a baby so I'd have thought she'd be more likely to stay in a stable job for the moment.
I wonder if Tony will be blamed when it's discovered he torched the car?
You mean the wrong person might be accused of committing a murder? Surely that's unheard of in a soap? :hmm::DQuote:
