Jack P. Shepherd hears touching tribute from ex‑Corrie co‑star Paula Lane

Jack P. Shepherd, who has played David Platt on ITV’s Coronation Street since 2000, was shown a surprise voice message from former co‑star Paula Lane during a recent episode of his "On The Sofa" podcast. Lane, who portrayed his on‑screen wife Kylie Platt until the character’s 2016 on‑screen death, reflected on their six years together, saying, “Ten years since Kylie left, I can’t even fathom how quickly that has gone… I just had the best six years ever and I have such fond memories.” Shepherd smiled, appeared humbled, and shared the moment with co‑hosts Ben Price and Colson Smith. The message marked the ten‑year anniversary of Kylie’s exit and highlighted how the couple’s storyline continues to resonate with fans.

The exchange underscored the lasting bond between the actors and the enduring popularity of the David‑Kylie partnership among Coronation Street viewers.
