David Platt

## All About David

David Platt, formerly known as Tilsley, is Gail Rodwell's youngest son and has an awesome crew of half-siblings, including Nick Tilsley and Sarah Barlow. He's happily married to Shona and rocks it as a dad to Max and Lily from his late wife, Kylie.

Hold on tight because David's life has been one wild rollercoaster ride! Picture this: he was born on Christmas Day in 1990, but his teenage years were anything but merry. He had some intense moments, like surviving a near-drowning by his stepfather Richard Hillman. And just when he thought things couldn't get crazier, his dad Martin Platt decided to jet off to Liverpool and start a whole new fam with Robyn. Talk about a plot twist! David's mischievous side kicked in, and he played pranks on his family, sending bogus cards from Richard and even faking a suicide attempt to disrupt Sarah's wedding. Yikes! But that's not all—when his girlfriend Tina McIntyre decided to go for an abortion, with Gail's support, David did the unthinkable and pushed his own mom down the stairs. The street became his canvas for a vandalism spree after she refused to punish him. Well, that landed him in a Young Offenders institution for a solid six weeks.

But wait, the story takes a turn for the better! In 2011, David embarked on a holiday adventure and met the amazing Kylie Turner, a former cage dancer. Against Gail's wishes, they fell head over heels and tied the knot that same year. Whoop-dee-doo! David stepped up his game and became a real hero, helping Kylie win custody of her son, Max, and embracing the role of a loving father figure. And guess what? They welcomed their own little bundle of joy, Lily, in 2013. But here's where things get tricky—who's Lily's real daddy? David or Nick? Turns out, it's a mystery, thanks to a wild one-night stand between Kylie and Nick. But hold your breath because tragedy strikes when Kylie gets fatally stabbed by a fifteen-year-old troublemaker named Clayton Hibbs. Can you imagine David holding her in his arms? Heart-breaking! It took a close call with Lily almost getting hit by a car to make David realize revenge wasn't the answer. Thankfully, Clayton got locked up for good for Kylie's murder.

Now, let's talk romance! David found love again with the incredible Shona Ramsey. Brace yourself for this twist—Shona turns out to be Clayton's mom! Talk about a love story with some major drama. Despite their ups and downs, they managed to stick together and make it work. But guess what? David's life takes another mind-blowing turn when he has a terrifying encounter with Josh Tucker, leaving him emotionally scarred. Poor guy! In a moment of anger, he even squared off against Gary Windass in a charity boxing match, landing him back behind bars. But wait, there's more! The following year, David finds himself in another pickle after helping Nick in a scheme to swipe £80,000 from their grandma, Audrey Roberts. Oops! Feeling remorseful, David makes amends by handing over his fantastic barber shop, Trim Up North, to Audrey as a grand gesture of apology. And you won't believe it—on the day of his release, David and Shona seal the deal and tie the knot in the most epic wedding ever!

Fast forward to the present, and David is determined to keep his mischievous side in check for the sake of his amazing family. They all live together at 8 Coronation Street, bringing the house down with Shona, Max, Lily, and the one and only Gail. When he's not being an awesome dad and hubby, you'll find David rocking the scissors as the coolest barber in town at Trim Up North. Life sure is an adventure with David Platt!
