Kylie Platt

Kylie Platt (née Turner) is the sister of Becky McDonald and a hated figure in the street by most of the residents, apart from hubbie David Platt who thinks the world of her.

After selling her son for cash, she went abroad and met David a few months later, who was coincidently going there for a holiday. She returned with him, and he wanted Max back but she didnt, but then gave in, then Max ended up in care etc.

She currently lives with David and his mum gail and they dont get along..

1987-2009: Abusive Years and Max's birth
Kylie was born in 1987, younger sister of Becky and living in an estate with her drug taking mother and abusive father. When Kylie was 8, Becky left home despite promising to look after her. Kylie began to be abused and beaten up, and was tied up and left in a cupboard once by her parents, which caused her to go in care a few times. In 2006, age 19, she had a son called Max to another man, but he was taken into care due to her living on the streets and not coping.

2010-2011: Reunited with Becky
She appeared on the Street when it came about that Becky and Steve McDonald had received a bad reference when trying to adopt, they found out that the reference had come from Becky's younger sister, Kylie. Becky found out where Kylie was staying and soon found out after that, that she wasn't actually living there but squatting. Becky then took Kylie into their home at the Rovers as much to Steve's annoyance.

Kylie soon showed her attraction to eye-candy barman Ciaran McCarthy and made it known to Liz McDonald and Michelle Connor. After showing them that she could possibly get with Ciaran, Kylie and Michelle begin to row. Michelle threw a punch at Kylie's face but as Kylie ducked Michelle hit Becky in the cheek. Steve finished it all by saying one of them needed to leave and it wouldn't be his wife. Michelle grabbed her bag and left, soon followed by Ciaran.

After Becky finding out about Kylie's child, Max and him being taken into care, Becky helped Kylie fight for her child back and they were due to a court hearing. But Kylie had other things on her mind and sees Gary Windass. The pair take Mary Taylor's mobile home and have an interesting night in, leaving Mary to stay the night with Norris Cole. This left Kylie late attending her court hearing as she and Gary start partying at his house. Kylie and Becky both fight very hard to get Max back and are successful. When they return to the Rovers, Kylie had better things to be doing than looking after her child Max and continued to drink with soldier Gary and friend Quinny.

Kylie went on holiday leaving Max with Becky and brought back a new boyfriend, Demetri. As Becky was unable to carry a child full term she attached herself to Max and Kylie saw this as an opportunity get some cash. Kylie asked for £20,000from Becky and Steve so she could go to Cyprus again with Demetri. At first against the idea they refused but eventually Steve managed to remortgage the pub and Street Cars and raised the money so Becky could keep Max. Becky and Steve managed to track Kylie down to pay for Max.

Kylie wasn't seen again until the tram crash when she took Max away and Becky and Steve believe he was lying under the rubble. Kylie demanded a further £5,000 for Max as she has "invested" the previous £20,000. Becky managed to steal £5,000 from Dev Alahan's Corner Shop and gave it to Kylie threatening her with violence should she return. Kylie and Demetri headed back to Spain.

2011-: David Platt and new career
David Platt flew out to Spain on holiday and met up with Kylie who was then a cage dancer called Candy. They got together and after David's return he proposed to her by text. David's mum and gran were shocked to find his future bride is Becky's sister. Gail soon objected to Kylie but Audrey was more understanding. Kylie was shocked to discover that David doesn't actually own the salon and slapped him round the face for his troubles. However the wedding was still ahead for 8th April much to everyone's objections. The wedding became a double ceremony when Graeme Proctor and Xin Chiang asked if they can tag along. Gail offered Kylie money to buy a wedding dress in an attempt to build bridges. However Kylie spent the money on a night out in Nick's Bistro for her and David. Gail found herself disliking Kylie more and more as time went on and, during her hen night, offered Kylie £1,000 to leave Weatherfield. The next day, when it looked like Kylie wasn't going to turn up to the wedding, Gail was secretly glad and prepared to tell David that Kylie had left, only for Kylie to turn up wearing a 'unique' wedding dress. Gail was furious, especially upon learning that Kylie had spent the £1,000 on a honeymoon for her and David (which she claimed Gail had bought for them).
