What's really wrong with David Platt?
We've all seen him in action:
chasing away his mums boyfriends sending poison pen letters skiving school blackmailing muderers but why do you think it is? Is he depressed? Is it all just general attention-seeking? Is he just scarred from his past? Or is he even mentally ill? What do you think? |

In some ways I don't think he is as bad as Craig Harris was. Can be nasty, yes, but Craig actually tried to kill Martin Platt. The things David has done are not all that bad. Probably the actual lying in court and trying to pervert the course of justice are the worst things.

He is a true sociopath. Can't wait to see what stories they dream up for him.

Well to be honest, its all stemming from the mental trauma that resulted from the Richard Hillman debacle.
He's always felt resentment towards Gail for not noticing what Richard really was, and this then just spiralled out of control until he became Demon. |

I dont think any child to be honest and imo born that way, I think if children have been brought up properly then theres no reson for them to turn that way,Im sure gail has brought him up properly, It's just her relationships that dont help specially the Hillman one and thats why I think david has been traumatised after what Hilman did to him and his family and its turned him bitter and twisted

Having a mother who looks like a weasel and a grandmother who is only 8 years older than your mother must leave a scar.

I don't think it has anything to do with Richard Hillman, although Gail uses that as an excuse. Sarah went through that too (as did Gail and Bethany) but it hasn't turned her into a twisted, scheming, malevolent Beelzebub
He's just a bad 'un, through and through. |

The Hillman saga must have had an affect on him and has haunted him but I think its a culmination of a lot of different events. His Dad leaving Gail when he was younger and Gails subsequent failed relationships have certainly made him resent Gail.
Then there is the fact he was the youngest child and had a fair amount of attention but then Sarah had Beth and Gail obviously had to give much of her time for them and again this would have made David more angry and feel left out. I think the main thing David craves for is attention. Sadly everyone keeps giving into him. |

After Tina annoucing her leaving, I don't think it will be long before Jack also leaves.
