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 medicationsQuote:

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:

They are probably hoping that people will realise that this is fiction and not necessarily true to life in every way .... but I can see where some viewers might get the wrong idea
I wish her drug past was spoken about more before this storyline started
Yes - it is fiction and most viewers knowQuote:

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.

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.
oh please please let dAvid meet someone else, maybe the angel off the xmas tree, (a xmas miracle!!) :angel:and keep Kylie out, :thumbsup: she is wooden and i wish i felt for her, but i don't she just does not convince me:thumbsdow get rid
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"

this storyline for paula's maternity leave just shows that kylie isn't that real maternal and don't care for her kids i believe

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.Quote:

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."

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 oncert but cant be sure. When the storyQuote:

It might be " soap legal" but still not
sure if its really legal and if it is seems

Kim - just sent reply to swmc66 whichQuote:

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 - becauseQuote:

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 !
dupl.
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 adoptiinQuote:

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
