DAvid and Kylie!!!

I wish her drug past was spoken about more before this storyline started

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

Yes - it is fiction and most viewers know
that- apart from those who e.g. Send
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.

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.
