Kylie Platt Kylie Platt ( née Turner ) was the wife of David and mother of Max Turner and Lily Platt . Kylie was raised by a drug addict mother and abusive father . She resented her half - sister Becky Granger for leaving home when Kylie was eight , and was thrown out after falling pregnant at nineteen . Max ' s dad , Callum Logan , ended up in prison , and Max was taken into care as Kylie was homeless . In 2010 , Becky tracked Kylie down and helped her regain custody of Max , but fearing she couldn ' t hack it as a mother , Kylie sold Max to Becky and Steve McDonald and left . She made a surprise return to Weatherfield the following year after meeting and getting engaged to David Platt in Tenerife , where she was working as a cage dancer . After getting married , the Platts won custody of Max and in 2013 Kylie gave birth to their daughter Lily - although there was uncertainty over her parentage due to a one - night stand between Kylie and Nick Tilsley . Arriving in the Street as an opportunistic thief , Kylie frequently pushed David to get what he could from his family - including Audrey Roberts ' s salon where they both worked - but matured as she was accepted into the Platt clan . Biography . 1987 - 2009 : Childhood and Max ' s birth . Growing up , Kylie ' s closest ally was her older half - sister Becky Granger , who shielded her from dad Brian Turner ' s fists and their mum ' s drug habit . When Kylie was eight , Becky left home , at 15 , despite promising to look after her . Jealous of the attention Brian lavished on Becky , Kylie grew up believing that Becky had instigated an affair , when in fact Becky had gone away to escape his advances . Without Becky ' s protection , Kylie began to be abused and beaten up , and was once tied up and left in a cupboard , which resulted in her going into care . In 2006 , Kylie fell pregnant . By now she was back living with her parents , but Brian kicked her out when he heard the news , forcing her to lean on the baby ' s father Callum Logan for support . Callum was initially supportive , but he left Kylie when the pregnancy started to show . Kylie was alone in the labour ward on 5th September when she gave birth to a boy , whom she named Max . She was thrilled when Callum then returned to her , however once the novelty wore off he absconded once more , and ended up in prison after assaulting a judge . Kylie struggled to cope on her own but without a stable home , Max was taken off her by social services and put into foster care , with Kylie restricted to two visits a week . 2010 - 2011 : Reunion with Becky . In 2010 , Kylie spent some time cleaning for airline pilot Ben Carrig at Buttercup House , Weatherfield . Without his knowledge , she made a copy of the key and squatted in the house when Ben was away . In August , social services contacted Kylie but not because of Max - now married to Steve McDonald , Becky and her husband had applied to adopt a child , and social services needed a reference from her . Still holding a grudge against her sister , Kylie informed them that Becky used to have a thing with her dad , contributing to the McDonalds being turned down by the adoption panel . Seeking retribution , Becky obtained Kylie ' s address from social worker Dawn Coghill ' s bag and marched over to Buttercup House , all guns blazing . Opening the door to Becky , Kylie defended herself against her sister ' s violent attack , and ended up hiding in the toilet . Cooling , Becky told Kylie the real reason she left home and informed her that their mother was dead , a revelation which stunned Kylie into coming out of her hiding place . The sisters seemed to be on the way to making up , with Kylie telling Becky that she was married to Ben , when Ben returned home a week early and Kylie , unseen by Becky , fled the scene . Finding Kylie swilling down a bottle of cider nearby , Becky took her homeless sister back to the Rovers Return , inviting her to stay until she got back on her feet . Arriving in Coronation Street , Kylie upset just about everyone with her stroppy and immature manner , particularly Steve and Liz McDonald who were keen to be rid of her . When she went missing , Becky and Steve traced her through a hostel to Max ' s foster home . Kylie admitted she had a three - year - old son and told Becky how much she hated not being able to care for him . Hatching a plan , Becky got Roy Cropper to employ Kylie at Roy ' s Rolls and talked her into going for custody , giving the Rovers as her full - time address . Kylie agreed but struggled to play by the rules ; after selling Steve ' s motorbike to her friend Don to buy Max a birthday present , she snatched Max , only stopping when Becky detained her at the Rovers and called the police . Becky spent the next week preparing Kylie for a hearing over Max ' s future , but terrified of failing , Kylie spent the night before court with Gary Windass in Mary Taylor ' s stolen motor home . The next morning , Becky dragged her sister to the court room , where Kylie put in a surprisingly sincere performance and won the case . The path to reform was slow ; Kylie stole from the Rovers till , and tried it on with Steve when he caught her rifling through Becky ' s handbag , only for him to rebuff her and try to throw her out . However , afraid that Kylie would lose Max if she left the Rovers , Becky forced Steve to back down . Max ' s care fell mostly to Becky and Steve , while Kylie lay about and skived off work . When she announced plans to take Max on holiday to Cyprus , Kylie tricked the McDonalds into volunteering to look after Max , and stole £100 from the cafe for spending money . In her absence , Becky had to masquerade as her sister during a visit by a social worker . Kylie enjoyed herself so much that she decided to settle in Ayia Napa with her boyfriend Dimitri , who owned a bar there . Informing the McDonalds when she returned to collect Max , Kylie ' s news devastated Becky , who had formed a motherly attachment to Max due to the amount of time she had spent with him and her inability to have children of her own . To ease the transition , Steve paid Kylie in exchange for leaving Max with them while she found somewhere to live in Ayia Napa . Seeing an opportunity , Kylie told the McDonalds they could keep Max for good in exchange for £20 , 000 . Steve rejected the idea as immoral , but Becky talked him round , convincing him that they would be better parents to Max than Kylie . After nearly bankrupting himself to raise the £20 , 000 , Steve paid Kylie and she and Dimitri left for Ayia Napa without Max . Kylie made a surprise return on the evening of the tram crash , where she secretly took Max away , causing Becky and Steve briefly to fear him dead under the rubble . Kylie demanded a further £5 , 000 for Max as she had " invested " the previous £20 , 000 . A desperate Becky stole £5 , 000 from the Corner Shop to pay Kylie off , and threatened to kill her if she ever saw her again . By early 2011 , Kylie was once again down on her luck . Broke and single after blowing the McDonalds ' money , she was making a living in Tenerife as a cage dancer under the name Candy . 2011 - 2012 : Gaining a family . In February , David Platt was on holiday on Tenerife when he met Kylie , completely by chance . Their pre - existing relationship in Coronation Street had been nothing more than a fleeting encounter ; enough that they started hanging out together in Tenerife , but not enough for Kylie to know that David was lying when he bragged about owning a salon . Just as irresponsible and puckish as Kylie , David fell for her and convinced her to fly back to the UK as soon as possible so that they could be together . Back home , David wound up Gail McIntyre and Audrey Roberts about " Candy " and , railing against their disapproval , proposed to Kylie by text - which Kylie accepted without hesitation . On 4th March , Kylie ' s plane touched down and David introduced his family to " Candy " , without forewarning them of her identity . With David getting his way by threatening to leave home , Kylie immediately moved into 8 Coronation Street , but there were a few bumps on the road to married bliss : given a job at " David ' s " salon , Kylie arrived for her first shift only to find that David was a mere hairdresser at his gran ' s salon and that Audrey didn ' t want her there . Kylie slapped David round the face for his troubles , but their engagement was saved when , stunned by the death of client Edna Hargreaves , Audrey signed the salon over to David to avoid inheritance tax , and David insisted on employing his fiancée . Another problem was Becky and Steve who , incredulous at the notion of Kylie being in Weatherfield for love , anxiously waited for her true motive to surface . Kylie booked the wedding at the register office for 8th April , which was to be a double wedding with their friends Graeme Proctor and Xin Chiang also tying the knot . In the run - up to the wedding , Gail stepped up her attempts to drive a wedge between the couple by prompting David to question Kylie about Max and , during Kylie ' s hen night , offering her £1 , 000 to leave David and Weatherfield . A tipsy Kylie took the money and looked set to jilt David , only for her to turn up at the register office in the nick of time and go through with the ceremony . Kylie used the £1 , 000 to buy her wedding dress and book their honeymoon , claiming it was a gift from Gail , who was furious but was left with no recourse . With the wedding out of the way , David interrogated Kylie about Max again . Puzzled by her lack of involvement in her son ' s life , David decided she was being coerced by the McDonalds and tried to persuade her to go for custody . Knowing that he would be ashamed of her if he knew about the £25 , 000 , Kylie kept quiet , but Steve told David the truth after David complained to a social worker , Roberta Kite , that the McDonalds were bullying Kylie . Now regretting selling Max , Kylie came clean to social services , and Max was taken off the McDonalds and put into foster care again . However , Kylie still refused to go for custody , fearing she ' d be a failure as a mother , and in August she made arrangements to put Max up for adoption . Her mind was changed by Gail who , after having a go at Kylie , comforted her when she broke down and revealed the real reason she didn ' t want Max . As the Platts applied for custody , Kylie decided to prove herself by setting up her own mobile nail bar , with Audrey giving her nail equipment to get shot of her . In November , they gained custody of Max and he moved into No . 8 , but it took a while for him to adjust ; he once went missing only to turn up at the Rovers , which he still thought of as his home . After the incident , Kylie got Becky to agree to steer clear of Max . In January the next year , Kylie teamed up with Becky to obtain Tracy Barlow ' s medical records which exonerated Becky in causing Tracy ' s miscarriage , after which Becky left Weatherfield for good to live in Barbados with her new boyfriend Danny Stratton . 2012 - 2014 : Lily ' s paternity . In March 2012 , Audrey fell out with the Platts over their disapproval of her relationship with con man Lewis Archer , who had supposedly renounced his old ways . To safeguard her business , Audrey demanded that David sign the salon back over to her , but David refused , fearing that Lewis would get his hands on it . A family war then erupted , with Audrey setting up a makeshift salon in Mary ' s motor home , while Kylie renamed the salon " David & Kylie ' s " without David ' s permission . After arguing with David over their clients , Audrey had a mild heart attack . The realisation that he could have caused his gran ' s death caused a regretful David to reverse all of the changes to the salon and sign it back to her , blaming Kylie for egging him on and causing the feud . As the Platts closed ranks against her , Kylie took Max and left No . 8 for pastures new , ignoring David ' s pleas of apology . Three weeks later , Kylie was spotted working at Britney ' s , a lap - dancing club , when David and Nick Tilsley went there to drown their sorrows . Fortunately , she was only seen by Nick who , after dropping his brother off home , returned to the club to talk her round on David ' s behalf . Kylie was still hostile towards David but , after getting fired from the club , she was drunk with nowhere to go . Hoping Kylie would see the situation differently in the light of day - and sober - Nick booked her a hotel room for the night and stayed with her . The following morning , Kylie did indeed have a change of heart , and she and Max immediately moved back to No . 8 , although she didn ' t mention Nick ' s part in proceedings as she didn ' t want David to know where she ' d been working . Nick helped the Platts out again by asking Kylie to fill in as a waitress at Nick ' s Bistro , as he was a waiter down on a big night where he was entertaining local dignitaries . The night was disaster as Nick ' s girlfriend Eva Price , who had pieced together that Nick and Kylie had spent the night in a hotel , spiked the chilli in the diners ' hotpots and publically accused Nick and Kylie of having an affair . A ballistic David punched Nick and smashed his car windscreen before Kylie , swearing her innocence on Max ' s life , persuaded him that Eva had got it wrong . For a while , Kylie went back to doing nails at the salon . She hoped to be trained as a hairdresser but with three stylists on staff , there wasn ' t enough work to go around . In October , seeing how bored she was , Nick invited her to waitress at the bistro full - time . Kylie loved her new job , and her hard work was rewarded when , after coping well with a double booking , an impressed Nick promoted her to assistant manager . Meanwhile , David was starting to talk about them having their own child . Kylie seemed to come round to the idea , but after Gail knocked over her handbag and found contraceptive pills , Kylie confessed to David that she wanted to put her work first for a while before having another child . David took the admission personally , and commiserated with Tina McIntyre , ending up passed out on her couch . David got back at Kylie by drunkenly ordering her to strip in the bistro , announcing to everyone that she ' d done it before , causing her to leave the establishment in tears . On the verge of leaving David , Kylie attended Nick and Leanne Barlow ' s Christmas wedding , which was called off by Nick when he and Leanne were at the altar after Eva revealed that Leanne had tried to get back with Peter Barlow earlier that day . Both in pieces over their recent dramas , Kylie ended up in the honeymoon suite with Nick , where they slept together . The next morning , Kylie returned to David but quickly crumbled under the pressure and booked flights for her and Max to Barbados , intending to leave for good . At the last minute she changed her mind and went back to David , deciding to bury the memory of the whole affair . Kylie and Nick ' s secret was unveiled gradually over the course of 2013 . In January , Kylie discovered she was pregnant and decided to abort it ( under pressure from Nick ) due to the uncertainty over the father , but David caught her at the abortion clinic in the nick of time after finding the positive pregnancy test in the bin and being warned about the abortion by Eva . With David threatening to leave her if she killed his baby , Kylie was left with no choice but to carry it to term . The first person to find out about Nick and Kylie was Lewis Archer , when he overheard the pair discussing the baby . Pursuing a vendetta against Gail , Lewis blackmailed Kylie into giving him Gail ' s bank account log - in and password and stole £40 , 000 from her , crippling her financially to such an extent that to keep hold of No . 8 , Kylie and David bought the house , with Gail becoming their lodger . Gail smelled a rat when she found a piece of paper in the pocket of Lewis ' s blazer , and recognised Kylie ' s handwriting . Upon interrogation , Kylie admitted to everything except the identity of the man she ' d slept with . Gail wasn ' t sure whether to tell David and , feeling the pressure of her lies , Kylie got drunk and fell off a table in the Rovers , rupturing her spleen in the process . A hospital check revealed the baby was unharmed but with Gail ready to tell David everything , Nick confessed his involvement to her , and a disgusted Gail realised she had no choice but to keep the lie . In June , Kylie booked a romantic getaway in a Cheshire cottage as a surprise for David . The trip was a disaster , with David ' s odd behaviour and moods causing them to cut it short . Shortly afterwards , Nick was targetted in a hate campaign , with someone smashing up his Victoria Court flat and leaving bad reviews of the bistro on Trip Advisor . In early August , Nick ' s car carrying Nick and David was hit by a lorry , leaving David with minor injuries and Nick comatose with serious head injuries . Kylie had no idea that this chain of events was triggered when David overheard a conversation between her and Gail about her one - night stand with Nick . Forgiving his wife , David had targetted Nick and the crash had occurred just moments after a confrontation between David and Nick , which ended when David panicked and tried to seize control of the vehicle . A few weeks later , Kylie went into labour alone at No . 8 . Sean Tully came to her aid after hearing her screams , and summoned David , Gail and Leanne . The paramedics didn ' t arrive in time so Gail delivered a baby girl , with the midwife advising David over the phone . The arrival was named Lily , born on 26th August . The matter of her paternity was settled when David had a DNA test done and found out he was the baby ' s father after all . David later burned the results , but before he did so , it was found by Kylie inside a DVD case where he ' d hidden it . Confronting Tina , who had been David ' s confidante throughout his troubles , Kylie pieced everything together . By now , Nick had come out of his coma but he ' d been left with permanent brain damage . Conferring with him , Kylie realised that David was behind the hate campaign . At Lily ' s christening , the enormity of what David had done hit Kylie , and she stopped the service , unwilling to go on . The truth was then revealed to the entire family , including Audrey and Leanne . As he ' d harmed his brother for life , David shouldered most of the blame , and was outcast from the family . David still felt wronged by Kylie but was willing to take the blame if she ' d forgive him . However , Kylie was realising for first time what lengths David would go to to get even with people and didn ' t want her family to be in the firing line . After throwing David out , Kylie secured her job at the bistro when her new enemy Leanne saw the flip side - she could give Kylie the lousy shifts . Despite Kylie threatening to call the police , David continued to hang around , worming his way back into his family ' s affections one member at a time . After he won over Audrey and Gail , Kylie let David back in the house but on the condition that he was never around when she was there or left alone with the kids . Feeling the tide turning , Kylie became depressed and turned to drink . At Christmas , her fighting spirit gone , Kylie returned to David . Having given up on life , she continued to drink , and reached her lowest ebb when Max had to cook for himself while she lay in a drunken state on the sofa . The realisation that she ' d put the kids in danger stunned Kylie into sobering up and taking responsibility , reconciling with David properly . 2014 - 2015 : Problem child . In the New Year , Kylie resumed her old job at the salon . 2014 began quietly for the Platts , but between work and the kids , Kylie and David were constantly worn out and didn ' t get much time alone together . Max was becoming especially tiresome , often running Kylie ragged . In July , the family went to Barbados to get a break from everything , but on holiday Max was overly hyper and David and Kylie came home more exhausted than when they left . Kylie was in denial about Max ' s behaviour , but at his wit ' s end David saw Dr Gaddas , and Max was referred to a child psychiatrist for an assessment for ADHD . Little doubt was left when , while at school , Max went out of control with red paint in front of the psychiatrist , who confirmed the diagnosis and put Max on pills . Seeing the calming effect the pills had on Max , Kylie soon took some of his medication to cope with her own exhaustion and stress . She intended it as a one - off but kept on taking them , covering by pretending to David that she ' d lost a strip . After being caught taking one by David , Kylie confessed what she ' d been up , resulting in a furious David keeping tabs on Max ' s pills in case she relapsed . Still addicted , Kylie went in search of her old boyfriend Callum Logan , ostensibly to get to the bottom of Max ' s problems , but really to see if he could give her something to satisfy her withdrawl as he had once dealt drugs . Kylie found Callum at the Dog & Gun pub - their old haunt - and he agreed to give her a pick - me - up . As their secret meetings continued , Callum soon got curious about Max and asked to see him , turning up at Bessie Street School after Kylie refused . On Christmas Day , Callum called round to No . 8 when the family were out celebrating David ' s birthday and Kylie was preparing Christmas dinner . Although she asked him to leave , David returned just as Callum was waving speed in front of her face . Broken and angry , David decided to have a family Christmas dinner , before telling Kylie to pack and leave . She begged him for forgiveness and told him that she was clean but David was having none of it . After saying goodbye to Max and Lily , Kylie left the house and was picked up by Callum . In the New Year , David was disappointed when Kylie failed to show up for Max ' s ADHD check - up . He went to The Dog & Gun and demanded that Callum told him where Kylie was , however he refused to disclose her whereabouts . David later broke into Callum ' s flat , only to find that she wasn ' t there and he was promptly seen off . David then decided to involve the police but was distraught to find that Max had gone missing that afternoon although deep down he suspected that Callum had taken him . Although Max was returned safely , Callum requested that David met him in the Rovers that evening . He warned David not to involve the police again and told him that Kylie had spent time with him on Boxing Day and the following day , but had disappeared the next morning . David assured Callum that he would get his wife back and get her clean , but Callum in return told David he would get to her first . 2015 - 2016 : Feud with Callum and death . Five months after her disappearance , Kylie was spotted by David ' s niece Bethany before running off . Kylie finally returned home in June , revealing that she had spent some time in London and was now off the drugs . She was shocked and horrified to discover that in her absence Callum had been given rights to see Max . David was furious at Kylie for abandoning him and the children and refused to get back together with her , but he agreed to pretend they had fully reconciled in order to hinder Callum ' s chances of gaining custody rights over Max . Kylie met David ' s sister Sarah who was now dating Callum . Bethany told Callum that Kylie and David ' s relationship was just an act , though David and Kylie did eventually reconcile properly . Kylie tried to make Sarah split up with Callum by getting him to try and sleep with her in front of Sarah but Callum saw right through her tricks . Sarah eventually saw Callum for who he really was after Max found a loaded gun in Callum ' s flat . Although Sarah broke up with him , Kylie was still furious with her for her irresponsible behaviour . After a court meeting , Callum was granted partial custody of Max , to Max ' s delight but Kylie ' s horror . However , soon afterwards , Max became terrified of Callum after witnessing him brutally beat up Jason Grimshaw . Kylie reluctantly took Max to the police station to give a witness statement , though Callum responded by forcing Bethany to give a counter statement after drugging and threatening to harm Sarah . In September , after it was clear that Max never wanted to see his real dad again , Callum agreed to relinquish his custody rights - but only if the Platts gave him £20 , 000 to help him settle a debt with another drug dealer named Denton . Callum sent his thugs to threaten Audrey and wreck No . 8 as warnings . Sarah tricked Callum into meeting her at No . 8 , telling him she had the money . She tried to record him confessing to his crimes but Callum discovered what she was up to when her phone rang . Callum attacked her but Kylie arrived just in time and bludgeoned him over the head with a wrench , killing him instantly . David was summoned and it was decided that they would dump Callum ' s body in a canal far away . In the meantime , they hid the body under a manhole in the garage , but were unable to retrieve it when the hole cover was concreted over and the garage converted into an annex for Gail to live in . Kylie , Sarah and David each struggled to keep Callum ' s death a secret , especially when the police and his mother questioned them on his whereabouts . Kylie found David ' s laid back attitude to the situation disturbing and was disgusted when he threatened Sarah in order to prevent her from letting slip . Kylie also became frightened of the annex and thought she could smell Callum ' s remains through the floor . Sarah was hit by a car , sustaining minor injuries , and Kylie believed David had deliberately pushed her , but David was offended over Kylie ' s accusations that he was a psychopath . He told her their marriage was over , but they soon reconciled on Christmas Day . Around the same time , it transpired that Sarah was pregnant with Callum ' s baby . Kylie was the first person to learn the news after she found an appointment for an abortion clinic in Sarah ' s bag . She persuaded Sarah not to abort because of her love for Max . When Sarah ' s due date was arriving , she asked Kylie to be her birthing partner . When Sarah went into labour in March 2016 , Kylie was busy spending time with Freddie Smith , the widow of her former client , and accidentally missed the birth of Sarah ' s baby , Harry . In May , Tyrone Dobbs crashed his pick - up truck into Gail ' s annex , exposing Callum ' s body . Kylie was a suspect in Callum ' s murder but David was able to temporarily pin the crime on Jason , since he also had a history with Callum . Sarah ' s mental health was deteriorating , so , in order to save her from prison , Todd Grimshaw claimed that the recently deceased Tony Stewart was the murderer . Tony had been doing building work on the garage during the time that Callum died and the murder weapon that Kylie used had belonged to him . The police determined that Tony was in fact the murderer , but Kylie felt guilty that she had got away with her crime . Kylie ' s guilt intensified after Sarah was admitted to a psychiatric ward for issues related to Callum , Bethany struggled with her exams because of Sarah ' s troubles and Max continued to have nightmares about his deceased father . Kylie knew that as long as she lived in No . 8 , she and her family would always be haunted by Callum . She persuaded David that they needed to start a new life and decided to move to Barbados to live with Becky . On 15th July , Kylie excitedly announced to the street that she would be leaving but her excitement was interrupted when she noticed Gemma being assaulted by Clayton Hibbs , a former acquaintance of Callum . Kylie ran over to help Gemma but was stabbed in the chest by Clayton who fled the scene . David found her and held her as she clung to life . David promised everything would be fine but Kylie died in his arms before the ambulance could arrive . David broke the news to Max and Lily later that day that their mother had died . Her funeral was held on 1st August . Personality . Kylie arrived in Coronation Street in 2010 as Becky McDonald ' s stroppier , and even more obnoxious and dishonest sister . In the latter half of that year , Kylie ' s worst qualities were at the forefront - her ingratitude at being given a second chance by Becky , her desire to get something for nothing , and her total lack of scruples . At the root of this behaviour was her failure to look after Max and his being taken into foster care . Kylie loved Max and hated only being allowed to see him twice a week , but her lack of self - belief embittered her . After marrying David , Kylie ' s circumstances improved . Her vicious side wasn ' t seen as often but , when provoked or after something , she was still ruthless and uncaring . After some time had passed , she found the courage to apply for custody of Max . Though not the most sensitive or understanding mother , Kylie ' s efforts to be a good wife and mother were sincere , and she was finally able to put some demons to rest . As a couple , David and Kylie didn ' t take life too seriously and enjoyed taking the mickey , with Gail McIntyre being the usual victim of their jokes . Kylie ' s enthusiasm for her nails business at Audrey ' s salon was minimal ; she never felt it was going anywhere and preferred her job as a waitress at Nick ' s Bistro , as her contributions were better appreciated there . Relationships . Becky Granger . Kylie ' s best friend and protector for the first eight years of her life was her half - sister Becky Granger . Seven years older than Kylie , Becky was 15 when she left home because of her stepdad Brian Turner ' s advance . Kylie lived under her parents ' roof until she gave birth to Max in 2006 , in which time Becky had almost no contact with the family ; when she encountered Kylie again in 2010 , Becky had no idea Max existed . The sisters met up again when an enraged Becky tracked Kylie down , blaming a bad character reference given by Kylie to Social Services for causing her and Steve McDonald to be turned down as adoptive parents . Becky planned to get even with her fists , but after finding out that Kylie was homeless and jobless , Becky insisted on Kylie moving in with her , hoping to do for Kylie what Roy and Hayley Cropper had done for her . Kylie still felt something of their sisterly bond but her instinct to cheat and lie was stronger ; seeing their desire for children , Kylie got £20 , 000 out of Becky and Steve in exchange for Max and left for an ill - fated new life in Ayia Napa . Their relationship hit its lowest point when , after being reduced to robbing the Corner Shop to pay Kylie off during the tram crash , Becky threatened to kill her if she saw her again . Just three months later , to Becky ' s astonishment , Kylie got engaged to David Platt and moved back to the street . Becky believed that she had really returned for Max , and had a few violent run - ins with her , but Kylie fought to keep their arrangement a secret , and warned Becky when David started to ask questions about Max . Later in the year , after Kylie and David got custody of Max and Becky split from Steve , Becky ' s relationship with Kylie became more significant . They both cared for Max , and while Kylie initially asked Becky to stay away to ease the transition for Max , she eventually relented . By the end of the year , the sisters had repaired their relationship and when Tracy Barlow blamed Becky for causing her to miscarry her twins by pushing her down the stairs , Kylie joined forces with Becky and helped her prove her innocence . Becky then left Weatherfield for a new life in Barbados with Danny Stratton , but kept in regular touch with Kylie , and Kylie , David and the kids went to visit her in February 2012 and July 2014 . As sisters , Kylie and Becky were broadly similar in their independence and precariousness , but although Kylie was not as self - destructive as Becky , and Becky not as devious as Kylie , both qualities were evident in both of them to a large degree . Max Turner . Max was born on 5th September 2006 , when Kylie was nineteen . A single mother on her own after Callum Logan left the scene and being thrown out of the family home , Kylie couldn ' t look after Max properly and he was taken into care . Kylie was torn between wanting to see more of Max and her gut feeling that she ' d be an unfit mother and that Max would be better with different parents . In selling Max to Steve and Becky , Kylie convinced herself that she and Max were both getting a good deal . In 2011 , after some persuasion from Gail , Kylie lobbied for custody of Max and she and David won the case . In contrast to David who was a natural father , Kylie was often brusque with Max and only disciplined him when he bothered her . She had pride in her ability as a mother and reacted defensively when it was questioned ; in March 2012 , when Bessie Street School headmaster Brian Packham banned junk food in school meals , causing Max to go hungry , Kylie got one over on him by selling chips to the kids , and got in a struggle with Brian over the contraband which ended with him covered in mushy stuff from the chip shop . Kylie decided to take Max out of Bessie Street and home school him , but his first lesson had no sooner begun that Max was playing computer games while Kylie texted her mates . Bowing to family pressure , Kylie swallowed her pride and asked Brian to take Max back . David Platt . On 20th September 2010 , after being snubbed by Gary Windass in favour of Izzy Armstrong , Kylie sought out another companion and settled on David Platt . David was at the Rovers celebrating Nick Tilsley and Natasha Blakeman ' s engagement but it was only when Kylie pushed a bottle of beer towards him that David showed any sign of wanting to be there . Aside from that one - time flirtation , Kylie and David had nothing to do with each other until five months later when David met Kylie , or " Candy the cage dancer " , on holiday in Tenerife . Picking up where they left off , they had a no - strings - attached holiday romance . Kylie thought she was onto a good thing - David was fun , and more importantly , he owned his own salon ( or so he bragged ) . Smitten , David proposed by text when he got home and Kylie returned to Weatherfield , engaged - much to the Platts ' horror . Despite opposition to them marrying , Kylie and David proved to be a stabilising influence on each other , and their marriage one of the strongest in Coronation Street . Used to being the black sheep of the Platt household , David earned his family ' s respect and a sense of responsibility by forcing Gail and Audrey to treat Kylie better and so willingly taking on Max and doing a good job . David and Kylie shared a similar sense of humour and enjoyed a good wind - up . In 2014 , they went on a night out playing the part of a Frenchman and a Russian woman , and planned to stay the night in a hotel dressed as Mia Wallace and Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction before cancelling when No . 8 was burgled by Michael Rodwell . Despite her efforts to change , Kylie ' s devious side showed occasionally , such as in 2012 when she pushed David into a feud with the Platts in a bid to oust Audrey from the salon , which Kylie believed was rightfully David ' s . Running her own nail business from the salon , Kylie wanted to become a hairdresser and resented the fact that David had never trained her despite being in a position to do so . Their biggest fall - out occurred in 2013 , when David ' s revenge campaign against Nick Tilsley for sleeping with Kylie ended with Nick suffering brain damage in a car crash . Having not previously seen David at his worst , Kylie was shocked at the lengths he had gone to to get even with Nick and threw him out of the house , but a few months later they patched up their marriage and things returned to normal . Gail McIntyre . Recent years had seen Gail McIntyre oppose most of her childrens ' relationships for one reason or another . David had got off comparatively lightly thus far , with Gail approving of his ex - girlfriend Tina McIntyre , but Kylie was a rough diamond and Gail assumed her to be like her sister . As her meddling had caused problems before , Gail didn ' t stand in their way , but with less than 24 hours to go before the wedding , in desperation she offered Kylie £1 , 000 to disappear . Kylie accepted the money - but spent it on her wedding dress and a honeymoon in Tenerife , telling David it was her wedding present . When Kylie moved into No . 8 , to Gail it was was like gaining another child ; another person with no sense of responsibility for her to skivvy after . Gail doggedly tried to keep the household under her control , getting on at Kylie for being a useless wife . Eventually Kylie decided to prove herself by laying on a barbecue , but instead Gail found them having a play fight in the garden with the house a tip . Incensed , Gail announced she was on strike , but after a few days she gave up and accepted the new status quo . In August 2011 , after David found out that Kylie was having Max put up for adoption , he reacted badly and went out to get drunk . Gail had just started on her when Kylie broke down on the stairs and admitted that she was getting rid of Max as she was afraid of failing him . Putting aside their differences , a sympathetic Gail offered emotional support and some encouraging words which convinced Kylie to go for it . This moment of understanding helped Gail accept Kylie as a member of the family , although she still thought she was a terrible wife . Just a few weeks after their heart - to - heart , Gail and Kylie were left alone at No . 8 when David went on a management course . When she saw Kylie flirting with a lad in the Rovers , Gail went over to them and told the boy she was married and angrily locked Kylie out of the house . After Gail got Audrey to sack her from the salon , Kylie tried to blackmail Audrey by threatening to disclose Marc Selby ' s secret that he was a cross - dresser , however this led to Marc deciding to out himself , humiliating Audrey . Kylie got back into the house using Nick ' s keys and emptied a pan of water out of the bedroom window , intending to soak Gail , only to drench David . Eva Price . Eva Price was Kylie ' s best friend in Coronation Street . Eva was one of the few people who made an effort to see things Kylie ' s way , and she often played the role of confidante in Kylie ' s myriad of dramas . Although Kylie never heeded her level - headed friend ' s advice , Eva still supported her and kept her secrets . The only time she broke Kylie ' s trust was in 2013 , when Eva warned David that Kylie had booked into an abortion clinic , allowing him time to get there and stop her . In 2014 , when problems with Max caused Kylie to try and track down Callum Logan , Eva went along for moral support , but she left in disgust when Kylie ' s behaviour around Callum showed that her goal had nothing to do with Max . Eva didn ' t wholly trust Kylie ; in 2012 , after finding out that Nick and Kylie had stayed the night in a hotel , Eva readily believed that they were having an affair , even though the true reason for it was innocent . When Kylie came to work as a waitress at Nick ' s Bistro , she worked alongside Eva , where both shared a dislike of manageress Leanne Barlow , Kylie because of her bossiness and Eva through jealousy of Leanne ' s relationship with Nick . Background information . Creation and casting . At the British Soap Awards in May 2010 , Katherine Kelly revealed to " PA " that Becky McDonald ' s younger half - sister was set to join " Coronation Street " . At that time , casting was still taking place , with Kelly ' s younger sister Grace rumoured to be up for the part . Paula Lane grew up in Hebden Bridge , Yorkshire , and studied acting at London ' s Central School of Speech and Drama . After graduating in 2008 , she landed small roles in " The Royal " and " Heartbeat " and first came to the attention of the " Street " ' s casting directors when she auditioned for the part of David Platt ' s girlfriend Zoe in 2009 . She was working at Harrods when she got the part of Kylie . Lane : " I just had this feeling that I could really do it . I ' ve watched " Coronation Street " since I was little and Becky is one of my favourite characters , and people have pointed out there are similarities in the way we look . " On her screen test : " I was inches from Kym ' s face and I had to be really bolshy . It was scary , but survival and adrenalin just kick in . I was shaking on the way out . " Lane started filming straight away and her casting was announced on 22nd June 2010 , with producer Phil Collinson hinting that the " tearaway " character would be just as much trouble as her sister : " She ' s a very big character across the next six months and beyond and it ' s fair to say that she ' ll cause hell for the McDonalds . " Introduction . Kylie was introduced as part of Becky and Steve McDonald ' s adoption storyline , making her on - screen debut in Episode 7410 on 26th August . Her first scene was a fight scene with Becky , which Lane later cited as a favourite : " They were quite tough to film and they had to be toned down for the broadcast , which just shows how far me and Kate went when we were filming them . Kylie ' s early scenes showed her to be similarly volatile and irresponsible to Becky but Lane was determined that Kylie would be her own character . Speaking to Digital Spy : " 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 . " Speaking to " What ' s on TV " , Lane described Kylie and Becky ' s relationship as loving but with lingering resentment from Kylie that Becky left home when she was only eight : " Becky was like a mother to Kylie . " The actresses enjoyed a close working relationship and Lane credited Kelly for helping her settle into the soap : " “ From the very first screen test , Katherine was so welcoming to me , she made me feel like part of the family . " Taken under Becky ' s wing , Kylie moved into the Rovers and her son Max was first seen on 29th August . Over the next few weeks , Becky helped her sister regain custody of Max , having to contend with Kylie ' s wild behaviour . In an interview with " The Mirror " , Lane explained how she considered Kylie ' s difficult past when playing the character : " Kylie ' s a mixed - up girl , but she ' s had to fight for survival . I feel for her - it ' s quite a sad story . When I analyse things that have happened in my past , I can draw on it to play her . My sister had her first child when she was 16 . And while she was very different and never once thought of giving up her daughter , it was still very hard for her . [ Kylie ] is a very messed up girl . She was dragged up by an alcoholic mother , so she ' s had to fight for survival . " After winning custody of Max , Kylie sold him to Becky and Steve for £20 , 000 , playing on Becky ' s desperation for a child , to set up her new life in Ayia Napa . Lane left at the end of her contract , and her final scenes were shown on 13th December . Speaking to " This Morning " , Lane insisted that Kylie did love her son but came up with the money - making scene as she was " immature and irresponsible " . About Kylie : " She ' s like a cat - she just pounces . The minute she can see something for herself , she ' s on it . But she ' s a very mixed up girl and she is misunderstood . " On playing the scenes : " I ' m the most maternal person you ' ll ever come across and I can ' t wait for the day to have a child . When I look at Harry who plays Max , I think , ' How could anyone do that to a child ? ' . And he looks at me with these blue eyes and sometimes I have to stop filming because I get too into it - and that ' s not Kylie ! " In January 2011 , Lane was voted Best Newcomer at the National Television Awards , and a month later she was nominated for Best Actress in the 2011 All About Soap Bubble Awards . Marriage to David Platt . On 4th January 2011 , while appearing on " Loose Women " , Paula Lane revealed that she would be returning to " Coronation Street " full - time and that Kylie was set to marry David Platt . At that point , the characters had only appeared together in one scene set in the Rovers ( although in the Inside Soap Yearbook 2011 , Jack P . Shepherd had praised Lane and expressed a desire for more scenes with her ) . Kylie returned to screens on 4th March , having met David on holiday in Tenerife . In a Digital Spy interview , Lane approved of the somewhat unlikely circumstances of Kylie ' s return to the Street : " 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 . " In an interview for the " Daily Star " , Lane hinted that Kylie was marrying David with an eye on Audrey Roberts ' s 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 ! ” . Teasing Kylie and David ' s relationship in " All About Soap " , Lane said : " They work very much in sync with each other and know what the other one is thinking . When one comes up with an idea that ' s a little bit mischievous , the other gets it straight away and they egg each other on . They could be very happy together and living in wedded bliss , but everyone around them may not feel the same way about their relationship because they do everything for their own benefit and not for other people ! " Lane tipped Kylie to be the one in control of the relationship , and remarked that a " loved up " nicer side to Kylie surfaced when she was with David . As part of the Platts , Kylie ' s storylines went in a more light - hearted direction , particularly in her clashes with Gail . About being involved with the Platts : " 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 . " Lane believed that Kylie was a naturally funny character , and had enjoyed playing comedy in her previous stint , as she told " Now " magazine : " I think she ' s quite witty . Obviously it can ' t be nice for the person on the receiving end of it but I like how she ' s quite quick off the mark and won ' t let someone stamp her down . I ' ve got a little bit of a feisty side but I ' m very sensitive as well and I ' d never dream of doing stuff that Kylie ' s done . My mum said to me the other day , ' Don ' t you look at me with them Kylie eyes . ' " Kylie ' s return re - ignited her feud with Becky and Steve . The storyline was resolved with the sisters making peace and Kylie and David gaining custody of Max , with Kylie playing an instrumental role in Becky ' s exit in January 2012 . Lane believed that Kylie had always wanted to raise Max but didn ' t think she was good enough before : " I think Kylie does genuinely want him back now . David has really boosted her confidence as far as motherhood ' s concerned , and she just feels like she ' s able to do it now . She ' s got the family network there and she ' s got the support - not only from David but from Gail too . I think Kylie will try to be on her best behaviour and do things right for once . " However , she also stressed the importance of keeping Kylie ' s dark edge : " I don ' t think that can ever really leave her , even if it ' s just a trip of the tongue . Kylie often doesn ' t think before she speaks ! I think she ' ll gradually get some more social awareness about her , because she ' s in the family situation now and she ' s got to keep the peace with people on the street . But I think it ' s important that she keeps an edge to her and people will always have to be a little bit wary of her , I think ! " Further storylines . In April 2012 , Kylie left David over his behaviour after Audrey ' s heart attack which followed a battle over the salon . Her exploits during their separation was the basis for an online spin - off , " Where ' s Kylie ? " , which went live on the official ITV site on 11th May . In the autumn of that year , Paula Lane teased a big storyline for Kylie over Christmas . On 8th December , she revealed to " Radio Times " that Kylie would cheat on David , but didn ' t yet reveal her bed partner ' s identity . About Kylie ' s motivation : " She isn ' t thinking straight at that point . It comes out of the blue and it ' s spontaneous and animalistic . It ' s all about the passion - they both want this at that time and they ' re not thinking about the consequences . As soon as she sees David after the one - night stand , she knows that he ' s the person she wants to be with and that she ' s made a massive mistake . It was just a bit of comfort when she needed it , there was nothing more to it than that . " The fling was followed by Kylie ' s pregnancy with baby Lily , eventually revealed to be David ' s after a period of uncertainty - during which time David learned the truth and waged war on Nick . On 17th September 2013 , producer Stuart Blackburn discussed the future of the Platts with " Inside Soap " : " There is hope for Kylie and David , but while she ' ll be angry with him , there ' s also anger at herself . Kylie has seen nothing but pain and heartache . In her head she ' s a screw - up , and she ' ll be furious with herself for imagining she could ever have a normal life . If there ' s hope for Kylie and David , they must accept each other for who they really are . " In June 2014 , Lane announced that she was pregnant with her first child . Max ' s father Callum Logan ( Sean Ward ) was introduced in September that year which involved a story where Kylie had resorted to taking Max ' s ADHD medication to cope with her stress , and relying on Callum to give her speed . The character departed on 25th December 2014 in order to tie with Lane ' s maternity leave . In April 2015 it was reported Lane returned to filming , with Kylie ' s return airing on 29th May 2015 . In January 2016 , Lane revealed she was pregnant with her second child . A few weeks later , she announced she would be leaving the soap for good to focus on motherhood . In early July , it was revealed through a teaser trailer that the character of Kylie would be killed off . Kylie died on 15th July 2016 after being stabbed by Clayton Hibbs , though her body was shown in a coffin on 20th July 2016 . Lane ' s second child , Penny , was born on July 27th . Quotes .
