Gail, Nick and Sarah knew of his plot to murder Clayton and die in the process. It's unlikely that police would charge a clearly mentally unstable man with planning a murder / suicide.....more probable they would be sympathetic and refer him for psychiatric help (the scriptwriters have been using David's mental illness for 'entertainment' purposes for years though).

Can't stand Phelan but even I wouldn't wish Weatherfield's Black Widow on him .


Maybe Corrie can do a Home & Away and have David seeing Kylie's face in the fridge, he'll go round the bend and they can have him sectioned that way.

I have to admit I don't remember Callum trying to rape Sarah (as was referred to last week) at all. I thought he was just going to beat her. Still, I accept that Kylie was helping Sarah, but Tony being posthumously blamed for Callum's death is a new low, and David set out to cause destruction where it wasn’t needed last week.

The Platts are in a weird place at the moment and TPTB do need to be careful with them. The whole imprisonment of David/David's revenge line was ridiculous.


True but at least Bobby got found out in the end. OK the rest didn't but the truth half came out. I can buy some sort of misguided 'he's just a kid' element being at play there (Bobby didn't even know he'd killed Lucy at first after all) but David's a grown man. I think most are agreed the Beales have come out of that storyline damaged as well (I've sort of made my peace with them but still hate the fact they'll never be what they were before it).

A GP referral is usually needed before someone can see a psychiatrist unless the person is having an episode where someone like the police are called. And we all know how charming David can be if he wants to be, so I doubt a GP would refer him or the police regard him as an emergency.

And where I live, you're lucky if you can get an appointment in less than about a year unless it's an emergency, which needs someone like the police to be called .........

If the police or a GP or the police needed persuading, all they would have to do would be show them David's suicide bomber video (and explain he had a history of mental illness even before Kylie's death).

The most extraordinary thing is the Platts are prepared to live with such a loose cannon. He's responsible for Nick's brain injury and Anna's injuries : how do they know he won't go on a killing spree, wipe out the entire family and then kill himself?

Not every crime gets reported in real life and not every reported crime is solved.

People are acting like this is a new thing for soaps but it's happened forever, if everyone paid the price there would be no characters left and if every soap was realistic it would be boring.

If it was a one off, I would agree with you but David and Sarah covered up a murder and there were no consequences and now this case (I don't think David was reported to the police for trying to kill Nick either and leaving him brain damaged). It's sending out a very dangerous message too : if a family member commits a serious crime, you don't report them and do everything in your power to help cover it up.

We saw it when David was looking on social media, He didn't give a Sh*t, he just cared about getting off thats all, He would have pleaded guilty if he felt guilty, use your loaf!

He just wants to get off. So of course he will plead not guilty. Especially with low life Macca in his ear telling him he should get off as he's a kid.

How could there be consequences? The only people who know the truth are David, Sarah, Kylie and Todd. Everyone else thinks it was Tony. How would the truth come out? Neither Sarah or David are likely to report it, are they? Over to Todd, then..... but why would he, as things stand currently?

You've just answered your own question

What they should have done the night of Callum's killing was ring the police and infom them what happened. Not notifying them and burying him under the annex was not only wrong and immoral but quite grotesque. As a family, they are acting like a bunch of bandits who are answerable only to each other not to society.

Yes, they should have, but they didn't and it's all gone wrong since then.

his head is all over the place....his (sexy) wife was just stabbed to death...

I'd b exactly the same as him. i wanted David to kill Clayton too. Missed opportunity that. Not just corrie tho, its the same IRL, why should the evil bastard who killed a innocent person go to prison? they should get a death sentence!

prison is not good enough for a scum like Clayton. he stabs a innocent person, goes to prison, comes out and guess what? he'd do it again, he should of been murdered by David!

ppl like the character Clayton don't feel guilt! they're just evil bastards. all they care about is getting away with it!

sorry if this seemed like a rant....just speaking my mind
