I think they probably will

Amy will be an evil bitch just like Tracy. She's already like a mini Tracy

Simon I think will be a psycho and be in and out of prison all the time

Max will be really messed up, having both his parents dead. I think he'll turn into a bad boy bloke, maybe end up like his Dad Callum?

Lily will be a mini Kylie when she's an adult maybe Paula Lane's own daughter could play her?

If they do stay til adulthood do you think they'll be recast?

All the kids you mention have links to the street which could easily see them there as adults. Amy has the Barlows and McDonalds, Simon has the Barlows too but he is also connected to Eva, Nick and soon to return Toyah. Max and Lily have all the Platts, even if Jack Park Shepherd were to leave there is still a base on the street for them. So yes, I think they will all feature in the future. Whereas Aadi and Asha, if Dev were to leave wouldn't have the same roots to return to.

As for who will play them, who knows? Amy is a bit OTT but I think she's meant to be. She could be like Belle Dingle and transition from child to adult really well. Max, I'm not so sure about and it's too soon to tell with Lily.

I don't look anything like my mother, I look like my father.

It's impossible to say.

It entirely depends on whether the families move away during the period they are growing up, whether the Producers believe the actors are up to it and whether it is worth the hassle to recast bearing in mind that they'll usually write the character out for at least a couple of years if they do recast, whether they think they have storylines for them.

There are quite a lof of kids that have been born on the show to major characters who have not been featured as adults, or at least not for very long. Peter Barlow until he was in his early 30s would be one example. Susan Barlow for only 2 and a half years as an adult. Terry Duckworth's 3 sons a few others and there are loads more.

I can see Max leaving, a custody battle on the horizon with wooden Callum's tedious mother. It would be good to see the current set of kids grow up and stay on. Hopefully they won't all turn out to be as hopeless as the Webster girls when it comes to making the transition to playing their characters as adults!

Amy, Simon, Max, Lilly and Dev's twins are good young actors, so I hope they will continue as part of the Coronation Street cast.

Kylie is dead, let it go.
You can never let go of the memory of a love lost. Oh sure you carry on as best you can. You may meet somebody else but your heart doesn't beat quite as fast when you leave in the morning or return home at night. There's a guilty feeling when you tell her you love her because you know it's a lie. The moral dilemma has to be faced. Are you willing to lead some woman on in the belief you can learn to love her when all the time you know, that every time you look at her you will be thinking you will never have anyone as precious as the one you lost. Another life shattered. I think its time you let it go and leave cool mate alone to let him have his say.

I know this has been discussed elsewhere but i think Marion would have little or no chance of getting custody as she has no real relationship with Max as it stands, he has demonstrated fear of Callum and anybody he connects to him (didn't he say he didn't want to see Marion when she turned up a few weeks ago) and he is old enough that a Family Court Judge would ask him where he wanted to be.

Also, Family courts are loathe to split siblings up so Lilly and Harry both being resident at the Platts would have a huge influence in the decision - plus his having been part of the family for 5 years+ (so probably all the life he can remember) and there being a strong support network there and him being settled at School.

The only reason there was a question mark over it last time is that Callum did already have parental responsibility as he was on the birth certificate and Max liked being with him due to all the presents.

Grandparents have no automatic rights, so the fact her deceased son had parental responsibility wouldn't mean anymore than David's deceased wife having had it.

I think Max will stay where he is for now. However, i can imagine them using Marion as a way to write Max ot as a teenager if the actor needs time off for exams or they want to recast but have a break to make the transition less jarring for viewers. He starts getting rebellious, when David tries to discipline him, get the old "you can't do that, you're not my Dad" and he goes off to stay with Marion in protest. Similar to how they did with Nick Tilsley when he was in his mid teens.

In actual fact, they could even do that with Harry if needs be in 15 years time. Just him deciding he wants to get to know his Dad's family.

I hope they recast Simon if he is.

As the character has grown, the child actor's limitations have been exposed. I can see why he appealed once as he had the cute factor as a kid, although the character has always grated on me as he was the ultimate in precocious brats. That episode where he made his own way home from Blackpool was utterly preposterous.

He no longer has the cute factor to fall back on. (Not dissing the actor but stroppy teens are less cute than adorable 5/6 year olds). The character is usually scowling whenever I see him. And also there's no getting away from the fact he is mixed-race with two white parents, which has become even more apparent in age.

Yes, pretty likely that the Barlows and Platts are going nowhere for the forseeable so we can watch them go on the whole (Silent, Cute, Brat, Young Adult) soap child journey on screen.

I imagine Simon & Amy, Max & Lily could as long as their parents don't leave before they are adults.
Faye seems forgotten about already
The twins, maybe. Dev is kind of an extra these days though so only if they do something with him
Hopefully they will do something with Ty & Fiz but I don't see Hope & Ruby lasting through to adults

This would be intriguing. It would be great if Paula's imminent daughter wants to go into acting!

Wouldn't Paula's daughter be a little on the young side to play Lilly? The actor being 3 years older isn't unusual, especially when casting teenaged characters, bit rather harder to get away with the other way round unless people weren't meaning until she was way into adulthood.

To be honest with you, i think they try and avoid that kind of 'stunt' casting and unless she bears a striking resemblance to Paula it would be pointless. Notice how Linus Roache didn't continue playing Peter past being a toddler, despite being the right age, looking like Bill roache and being an actor. I know that he appeared a few years ago but that clearly was a stunt to provoke publicity for a short term plot and arguably casting James as Ken'd grandson fell flat.

Before Paula Lane was cast, there were suggestions that Kate Kell)s younger sister (grace I think) who is an actress should get the role but i'm sure most people would be glad they went with somebody else as she has been so good.

In another case, they very much regretted casting Wendy Jane Walker as Susan in 86 simply because she'd had the role as a child because she simply wasn't good enough. Likewise they auditioned Dawn Acton for Tracy in 03 bit decided against her.

They'll cast the best actress they interview at the time, regardless of biological links to past actors.

I think so too!

Obviously Paula is Kylie but also her husband is an actor too. Maybe the acting genes run in the family?

But this would only work if Paula's daughter grows up to be the spitting image of her. If not, it wouldn't work out!

Tbh tho that new kid who plays Lily I think is supposed to look like Kylie. Long brown hair, brown eyes. I think the bosses are wanting Lily to look like her Mum so more than likely, they're only going for actresses who look a lot like Paula

Paula's daughter will grow up around acting since both her Mum and Dad are actors. Yeah I meant when she's an adult (or maybe late teen) I thought the same about the resemblance tho. Your right. If she goes into acting but doesn't look like Paula at all it will be a waste of time. She said in an interview that her son looks nothing like her or his Dad, so maybe her daughter will be the same?

Genes are weird! As they're both female tho, I reckon her daughter will look a lot like her

As I said before this new Lily is supposed to look like Kylie, I think. I'm going by the long brown hair, brown eyes, etc. it's clear the bosses are wanting actresses who look similar to Paula to play the role of Lily. I think they want Lily to take after Kylie, in looks and personality so only look for actresses who look like Paula. As Lily grows, the resemblance to Kylie will become even more obvious so of course they'll find actresses who look even more like Paula

As for the Paula being cast thing, I've seen ppl say they thought Kylie looked like her sister Becky, tbh I couldn't see the similarities at all!

Simon, much to Kens delight will turn out to be a mover and shaker in the financial services. He will be known as whiplash Simon for his ability to get his hands around your neck and shake the high interest rate out of you that he charged on the loan you took out from him. Poor Izzy will have to beg Gary to get her a turbo charged wheelchair after borrowing money from simon to feed her habit. She will learn it's not fast enough. It's good to see a success story for a change.

Plenty of children whose parents are actors, even both parents being actors don't choose it as a profession. In fact, many eill be put off it due to them growing up around it and seeing the down sie, anti social houes, being away from home for weeks or months when on tour or filming, lengthy periods of unemployment, newspaper intrusion, having a parent that can't just turn up anonymously to watch them at School sports Day or i a concert as they're famous. Many kids will hate growing up in that way and not want to put their own children through it - hence choose another profession.

Or, they just have no interest in it in the first place, or no talent for it.

Also, many parents will actively discourage their children from the profession because they know what a hard life it can be.

So, both her parents being actors, really doesn't mean she'll go into acting.

Even if she does, the problem remains that she will be 3 years younger than Lilly needs to be.

True.

David couldn't have adopted Max before now because they need the birth father's consent. For the first few years, Kylie did,'t want to contact Callu. Then he refused to give consent because he was threatening a custody battle, then he couldn't sign anything because he was officially missing, in actual fact dead.

They needed him to be declared dead legally before David could start adoption proceedings and that only happened about a few weeks ago.

Max is currently scared of David but there is no knowing how long that will go on for. He is still okay around Gail and Audrey, more than he would be with Marion from what we've seen, probably because he knows them better.

That all makes perfect sense but doesn't explain the plot in around 2013 I think where David decided to officially adopt Max and celebrated with the family having started the process but it wasnt mentioned again or got dropped IIRC it may have been to do with the David/Kylie/Nick stuff being revealed. How were they planning this without involving Callum?

It never went ahead because Kylie broke off with David for a while after finding out he 'tried' to kill Nick. Although like Alya's pregnancy it was so ambiguous I don't think anyone truly knew and just assumed the adoption went ahead, even the Coronation Street website listed Max as David's adopted son. That was until Callum came onto the scene and wanted custody of Max.
