I mean his wife did sleep with his brother. Everyone is against him, except his nan and he does love those children.

Ok, tell me I need to get a life Confused

YANBU.

I feel sorry for David too, I hate the way they've made out its his fault.

Surely he's not going to leave though, I've not heard rumours he's leaving the soap?

WannaBeANinja · 15/12/2013 00:31

has anyone noticed how odd Leanne looks when she walks!!

watch the next time you see her walking down th street-ESP in a skirt above the knees. It's bizarre

YANBU.

This storyline is driving me wild.

Everytime I see Nick going on about how he should clear off and stay away I just want to scream 'YOU FUCKED HIS WIFE!!!!!!' at the TV.

The fact that Kylie won't let him see the kids too...how fucking dare she. She's the slut that started it all by getting jiggy with her hubby's brother.

I hope they get back together, David kicks Kylie out on her arse and gets custody of the kids.

He deserves everything he gets just for having a stupid boufant hairstyle imo.

Alisvolatpropiis · 15/12/2013 00:51

Yanbu.

I know it's "pretend" but - he made a split second decision after finding out his wife had not only shagged his brother but that the baby she was carrying might actually be his brothers. It was a heat of the moment action. It wasn't "attempted murder" considering it was a risk to his own life.

I'd slap Kylie into next year if I were Gail.

somedizzywhore1804 · 15/12/2013 01:11

Glad it's not just me and DH who think this!! Every episode now we are shouting at the telly "but Nick shagged his wife!!"

YetAnotherFucker · 15/12/2013 02:42

All my venom is saved for Tracey Barlow, David pales into insignificance beside her.

YANBU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

redshifter · 15/12/2013 03:33

YANBU

And I don't understand how he is not allowed in his own house or see his own kids.

David Platt deserves everything he gets! Grin
David Platt storylines. Look at all the trouble he has caused over the years!!

Sparklingbrook · 15/12/2013 07:15

I watch the Omnibus very occasionally but I know enough to ask-

How the hell is the actor that plays Dev even an actor. He is woeful.

SnoogyWoo · 15/12/2013 08:41

And they didn't even use protection!

KittensoftPuppydog · 15/12/2013 08:51

I agree that David is now being treated badly, however he did do all of that stuff like smashing up nick and Leanne's and trying to get the bistro shut down too.
Plus it's not real.

meditrina · 15/12/2013 08:56

It wasn't a split second decision. It was the culmination of several months of really horrible hate campaign.

And it's that hate campaign that Kylie and Leanne are both so horrified by, and reacting against.

MrsDavidBowie · 15/12/2013 09:00

I hate his mean little mouth.

And his bouffy hair.

Sparklingbrook · 15/12/2013 09:01

I know this is irrelevant to the character but isn't the actor's private life a bit Hmm too?

YABU. He's not real.Grin

FortyDoorsToNowhere · 15/12/2013 19:22

I have no watch corrie for years, how has David got a brother.

Sparklingbrook · 15/12/2013 19:25

Gail had Nick with Brian IIRC. many moons ago, so they are half brothers?

Well David had been absolutely vile to Kylie and they were pretty much split up when she slept with Nick so David doesn't really have any grounds for complaint as far as I can see.
But I think Jack whatever his name is, is one of the better actors on Corrie, and playing it for sympathy quite skilfully.

deepfriedsage · 15/12/2013 19:48

I think they are all messed up, they never heard people in glass houses should not throw stones.

wannabedomesticgoddess · 15/12/2013 19:57

David turned out as a psychopath because his mother kept marrying psychopaths while he was growing up.

What's going on in his personal life?

Sallystyle · 15/12/2013 19:58

He didn't try to kill him! Why won't he tell people that?
