1987-2009: Childhood and Max's birth
Kylie was born on 22nd August 1987, on the Eccleston Estate, her mother supposedly having been "too wasted" to get to hospital. Growing up, Kylie's closest ally was her older half-sister Becky Granger, who shielded her from dad Brian Turner's fists and their mum's drug habit. When Kylie was eight years old, Becky left home at just fifteen years of age, despite promising to look after her. Jealous of the attention Brian lavished on Becky, Kylie grew up believing that Becky had instigated an af...
2010-2011: Reunion with Becky
In 2010, Kylie spent some time cleaning for airline pilot Ben Carrig at Buttercup House, Weatherfield. Without his knowledge, she made a copy of the key and squatted in the house when Ben was away. In August, social services contacted Kylie but not because of Max - Becky, now married to Steve McDonald had applied to adopt a child, and social services needed a reference from her. Still holding a grudge against her sister, Kylie informed them that Becky used to have a thing with her dad, contri...
2011-2012: Gaining a family
In February, David Platt was on holiday on Tenerife when he met "Candy" by chance. Their pre-existing relationship in Coronation Streethad been nothing more than a fleeting encounter; enough that they started hanging out together in Tenerife, but not enough for Kylie to know that David was lying when he bragged about owning a salon. Just as irresponsible and puckish as Kylie, David fell for her and convinced her to fly back to the UK as soon as possible so that they could be together. Back ho...
Kylie arrived in Coronation Street in 2010 as Becky McDonald's stroppier, and even more obnoxious and dishonest sister. In the latter half of that year, Kylie's worst qualities were at the forefront - her ingratitude at being given a second chance by Becky, her desire to get something for nothing, and her total lack of scruples. At the root of this...
Becky Granger
Kylie's best friend and protector for the first eight years of her life was her half-sister Becky Granger. Seven years older than Kylie, Becky was 15 when she left home because of her stepdad Brian Turner's advances. Kylie lived under her parents' roof until she gave birth to Max in 2006, in which time Becky had almost no contact with the family; when she encountered Kylie again in 2010, Becky had no idea Max existed. The sisters met up again when an enraged Becky tracked Kylie down, blaming...
Max Turner
Max was born on 5th September 2006, when Kylie was nineteen. A single mother on her own after Callum Loganleft the scene and being thrown out of the family home, Kylie couldn't look after Max properly and he was taken into care. Kylie was torn between wanting to see more of Max and her gut feeling that she'd be an unfit mother and that Max would be better with different parents. In selling Max to Steve and Becky, Kylie convinced herself that she and Max were both getting a good deal. In 2011,...
David Platt
On 20th September 2010, after being snubbed by Gary Windass in favour of Izzy Armstrong, Kylie sought out another companion and settled on David Platt. David was at the Rovers celebrating Nick Tilsley and Natasha Blakeman's engagement but it was only when Kylie pushed a bottle of beer towards him that David showed any sign of wanting to be there. Aside from that one-time flirtation, Kylie and David had nothing to do with each other until five months later when David met Kylie, or "Candy the c...

Introduction
Kylie was introduced as part of Becky and Steve McDonald's adoption storyline, making her on-screen debut in Episode 7410 on 26th August. Her first scene was a fight scene with Becky, which Lane later cited as a favourite: "They were quite tough to film and they had to be toned down for the broadcast, which just shows how far me and Kate went when we were filming them . Kylie's early scenes showed her to be similarly volatile and irresponsible to Becky but Lane was determined that Kylie would...
