It's eight-years ago today when David decided to ruin Sarah's wedding to Jason and drove his car into the canal, where Richard tried to kill him and his family four-and-a-half years prior.

David is a legend. Gail made those storylines more enjoyable though.

David has been the best thing about CS lately, with even Carla unable toe rise above her quacking, wine guzzling, tragic persona.

JPS knows how to deliver a line.

John Player Special?

I like the cassette player, and the fact he played the same song. that must be 12 years ago then they went into the canal the first time

David Platt has become one of the Street's stalwarts.

David is such a multilayered and interesting character who has been on a big journey in the past 15 years (Jack's time on the show)

also very buff these days
