NO-ONE could keep the tears in.
The fallout from the death of much-loved resident Kylie Platt only seems to be beginning.

As others backed Billy for picking Todd over his ex.
So pleased the vicar picked Todd over Sean. Todd is so much better for him. Sean has turned a funeral into “oh poor me” @itvcorrie #corrie
