- What ever next, DAvid and Kylie to marry!!
- Guess this won't be a love match then,
- This girl is awful, she has nothing to like about her, oh so boring!!!!!!!!:nono:
But i guess there will be saddo's out there, who like the idea of double trouble
oh so glad that there is someone else out there who does not want this "bonnie and Clyd" story
but as Tracy is not planning on hanging around, guess they will need another villian or villians!!
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!"

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.
I like Kylie and david!!!! They are both troublemakers so they are good together!!!!!!!
Looking forward to the owen/kyle/david storyline well when it progresses
