both his ex and his wife have been murdered

Gail seems to have passed on her bad luck with dead partners. Plus Callum is Sarah's ex and is also dead (as is Bethany's dad )

And his mum's first husband.
And his ex girlfriend and his wife both died on the cobbles!

I've never seen them buy lottery tickets or bet the pony's. They must know something is not right.

Not forgetting;

Divorce of his parents when he was young
His serial killer stepfather trying to drown him in the canal
His mum being jailed
The death of another stepfather while trying to fake his own death
His dad disappearing to the netherspace beyond Weatherfield
The loss of the beloved rabbit, Barney

The Platts are very friendly with the Grim Reaper!!

Spare a thought for poor old Max : both his parents murdered in less than a year and on the street where he lives........what are the chances, eh?

All David has to do now is get together with Sean and get married to him

Excellent thinking

Platt is lucky.

He has got away with so many crimes.

you'd think the script writers would look back and realise just how ludicrous all this death and destruction on one street and in one family is. no wonder Emily sodded off to Peru.
