Kylie Platt (also Turner) is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera Coronation Street, played by Paula Lane.

Kylie's backstory includes growing up in a broken home, living below the poverty threshold, and weak relationships with her estranged mother and sister.

The storyline was branded controversial by media outlets and Lane found it hard to compress her emotions whilst filming the plot.

Producers devised a storyline to give her permanent residence on Coronation Street, when she was revealed as the fiancée of David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd).

Kylie was murdered by Clayton Hibbs (Callum Harrison) while trying to protect her friend Gemma Winter (Dolly-Rose Campbell) in the episode broadcast on 15 July 2016.

Later she steals money from the till at Roy's Rolls, and jets off to Cyprus on holiday and leaves Max in Becky's care.

Later after a row with her mother-in-law Liz, Becky attacks and beats up both Kylie and her fiancé David Platt in their own home.

Tony Stewart, who had recently died, is blamed for the murder and David helps manipulate the situation so that police also believe the theory.

Six years later when David discovers Max's actions including spiking a drink at Amy, he believes that he let Kylie down by her promise.

Actress Paula Lane was cast in the role and immediately received praise from executive producer Phil Collinson who described her as "brilliant".

[17] After selling Max for twenty thousand pounds, Kylie travels abroad, but later reappears during the serial's live episode.

In early 2010 Jack P. Shepherd, who plays fellow character David Platt, revealed his desire for more scenes with Lane as he thought that they worked well together.

Revealing the news whilst interviewed on talk show Loose Women, Lane said that the pair would meet off-screen in Tenerife.

David's mother Gail McIntyre (Helen Worth) is shocked to learn the identity of his mystery fiancée, and disapproves of Kylie.

[23] After Kylie finds out the truth, the pair come up with a plan to "wheedle" his grandmother Audrey Roberts' (Sue Nicholls) salon off her.

Off-screen, the actress met with a recovering drug addict and discussed the mental and psychological effects of amphetamine addition, which aided her portrayal of Kylie's struggle.

An ongoing conversion of the garage in a bedroom extension poses a problem and they need to move quickly, but a series of events ruin their plans.

Gail then hires Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas) to cover up the manhole with concrete, unaware Callum is concealed inside.

Sarah becomes hysterical, David stays calm and scheming, whereas Kylie remained in a state of shock and she had to "strip [her performance] right back".

[40] Writers continued to play on the tense situation, using Kylie and Callum's old friend Gemma Winter (Dolly-Rose Campbell).

The scene featured Carla Connor (Alison King) causing a car accident, colliding with Tyrone Dobbs' (Alan Halsall) pick-up truck which smashes into the Platt's home.

When Sarah confesses the truth to Todd Grimshaw (Bruno Langley), he decides to frame Tony for the crime–a scheme which proved successful.

Coronation Street's producer Stuart Blackburn described Lane as "talented and dedicated" and expressed his view that she had created an "unforgettable Corrie character".

[45] The following day Coronation Street released promotional images depicting David mourning Kylie over her open coffin.

[48] Kylie's death scenes occurred following her decision to defend Gemma after she is attacked by Clayton Hibbs (Callum Harrison).

[55] Sue Crawford of the Daily Mirror describes Kylie as a "seducer, brawler, thief and seller of her own son" and said that she is "one seriously troubled girl".

"[9] Julie Richardson writing for Orange U.K. said she "loves a good TV scrap" and the serial had "a corker" with Becky and Kylie's fight.

[59] Stewart's Daily Mirror colleague Jim Shelley bemoaned Kylie's return because it "absolutely ruined" Becky's feud with Tracy.
