Oh yeah. Big time

6 yrs is more than enough to become a soap legend I reckon. That's over half a decade. She introduced the show to a gobby chav who had a massive turnaround. And she's a Platt (only through marriage tho) part of the biggest and best family

I can't think of a single Corrie character that's better than her. Nuh uh not one

Opinions on Ky Ky? will you miss her?

Is she a Corrie legend to you?

Wish I could do a poll but I still can't

She's a great character and I am going to miss her, I'm not sure I would class her as a legend though. To me, a legendary character is one who is widely popular and known to people who aren't even fans of the show.

To be honest, I'm actually glad she is getting killed off- yes, she will be missed but David and Kylie are one of those couples who just wouldn't split up for good and divorce, which would have happened otherwise (indeed, David and Kylie are the soap's current longest marriage which says a lot; once she leaves, it's gonna be Kirk and Beth!).

Another thing I love about Kylie is she's so complex. There's so many different layers to the character

She can be really protective and caring then go really feisty and fight the crap outta someone Then be guilty, depressed, sneaky...etc. Also I love her comedy. Since she's always stuck in drama most ppl probably won't notice but she's actually quite witty. She is quite comical (like David, but he's more sarcastic than witty) like I saw this clip once where this fat bloke goes, "Are you listening to me young woman?" And she says, "I'm all ears old man"

Then to Callum:
"Your just a small time criminal in a decent jacket"

I remember seeing a scene where Kylie races Gail home!! That was funny! And Gail running!!

I think she was certainly heading in that direction. Credit to Paula Lane as Kylie was without doubt in the shadow of Becky when she first arrived but really came into her own later on. The Kylie/David pairing was genius really. They really feel like they belong together and would've stayed together for life. She's certainly brought so much to the Platt family and will definitely be missed.

Do you think they'll do a story where maybe she might have a twin she didn't know about that turns up and looks just like her?

Are there any actresses that look a lot like Paula Lane who could play her twin?

Also I have a feeling we'll be seeing Kylie's Dad very soon

I hope not to be honest, for me that would just cheapen Kylie's character as would be very contrived.

I would like to see her dad rock up though

True but in a way it would feel like we had Kylie back in the show cos the actresses would look so similar

If it had been mentioned before that Kylie had a twin, even when Becky was in the show, then I would probably be more willing to accept but one conveniently popping up not long after Kylie wouldn't sit right with me, I'd always compare her to Kylie and probably prefer the original as a result

Certainly don't think she is of legendary character status, she's ok but nothing special imo I think the show will be fine without her and will be forgotten quite quickly

Well since soaps are so far fetched usually it probably would happen whether it was mentioned before or not

She'd probably be exactly like Kylie in every way! Looks, personality, maybe even voice

But I know what you mean, even if she had a twin, she's not Kylie. And even an identical twin couldn't replace Kylie. I was throwing it out there cos it seemed like a typical soap thing that bosses do. Maybe if they regretted killing Ky Ky (and rightly so! ) they'd dream up her twin

No. She has to put in another 19 years at least.

I do think she is one of the better characters in corrie at the moment, but not legendary in the way others were.

She wouldn't be in the all time top ten Corrie characters list.

Omg, Op. Are you going on and on about her?

Get over it

So over the top and exaggerating everything about her. Very silly.

Indeed. But it hasn't just been one thread. I'm not calling shots on what people can post but it has been constant

I miss certain characters but i am not reminding people in any way I can so people have to continually know.

I still haven't gotten over Edie's death in DH. But you don't see me bombarding you all with my feelings.

She's a good character, not a great one. If you want a legendary character, look no further than the likes of Ken Barlow or Gail Platt.

I don't know what DH is or Edie for that matter

but in the past 5 pages cool mate has three threads, one about kylie, one about his user name and one about swearing in soaps. all of which have lots of replies, so clearly Cool mate is starting topics people want to talk about.

now if there were ten kylie threads started by cool mate on the first page I would agree you have a point.

but again where's the harm?

think it's a good question and people clearly want to discuss!

interesting how peoples definition of legend differs tho
