DAvid and Kylie!!!

[maidmarian]

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 adoptiin
took place - but theres so many loose ends!!
I know from friends experience that adoption
is a very long winded process -rightly to
safe guard children - and the child they
did adopt was not related to them so its
not exactly same situation .

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

Corrie will rely on us not remembering the facts. But their website has said adopted son Max. Stuart Blackburn has just disclosed Callums name will be on the birth certificate so it all does not make sense. So lets see how this story unfolds.

wasn't max in care when becky got him and then kylie tried to sell him to her, i also thought david adopted max

[Perdita]

Yes, Max was in care and I thought David had adopted Max

[maidmarian]

dupl

[maidmarian]

Yes, Max was in care and I thought David had adopted Max

yes -so did I originally -but doubtful about
procedures.
then some posters seemed to think not
and thought I must be mistaken.

had a look thru old spoilers( cant do link)
and found a pic from Episode 8208
titled" David Suggests adopting max"
but the general text has gone or
at least I cant find it.
I dont know whether more said on
screen or if it happened off screen
but not mentioned. I know u cant have
every minute detail on screen but
would have thought it quite an
important storyline.
Will have to wait to see how develops
or for anr pronouncement from Mr B!!

[lizann]

stuart forgets david adopted max now he has kylie gone and callum is around, silly mistakes by writers, fans are not stupid and forgetful

Callum has been in prison, Kylie said so. He must also have at least a few cautions under his belt for drugs, the way he's been going on. Can't remember if he mentioned anything though.

I did think David adopted Max legally and formally too just like Leanne with Simon, I think it wasn't shown on screen but was mentioned maybe by Kylie or Gail

[parkerman]

If David has adopted Max legally, then Callum has no rights at all. None whatsoever.
