David Platt With Onscreen Other-half Tina McIntyre
Adorning the cover of every “What’s On TV”-esque guide I’m constantly greeted by the smug grin of Jack P Shepherd and his portrayed Coronation Street character David Platt. Now I could probably just about put up with seeing his smug, punchable face every week if the storylines attached to his character weren’t constantly bloody-irritating:
- “David goes psycho!”
- “David pushes Gail down the stairs!”
- “David goes to young offenders.”
- “David steals a car!”
- “David goes psycho part. II!”
- “David is fucking gay.”
… ok so I made up the last one. But you get the drift. Will the Corrie writers please stop writing the same story over and over and over again. There are other characters in the soap you know — people will still tune in if there’s a few weeks without David fucking Platt doing something “oh-so-badboy”! Well actually - I wouldn’t tune in anyway; but I’d be more likely to tune in if there was no David Platt.
To be honest I don’t blame Jack P Shepherd for the irritating stories that constantly grace the frontpage of the newspapers. What I do blame him for is his irritatingly punchable face. Does he really have to do that annoying smirk for everything he does? Is that the only way he knows how to construct his face?
Anyway thank God his girlfriends having a baby and he’ll be off the covers of magazines for a few weeks. Hang on - a baby? Isn’t he about 12? You know those “celebrities”…
