Kylie Platt will hit rock bottom in upcoming Coronation Street scenes, after becoming hooked on speed.
The hairdresser played by Paula Lane recently started stealking her son Max's ADHD medication as she struggled to take in the details of his diagnosis.

Things begin to spiral out of control however when the drug-dealing former flame offers her Amphetamine.
Paula spoke to The Sun newspaper, explaining: "It is really great 'Coronation Street' is touching on this subject. I hope I can do it justice.
"When I first found out, I was like, 'Crikey, how can I play this out?' But Kylie has a lot of depth to her and she is always carrying a fear that she isn't good enough. She thinks everyone on the street judges her.
"She is a very vulnerable person and her life is going to start to unravel big time. This is going to be the darkest place she has ever found herself in."
Kylie will resort to desperate measures in a bid to hide her addiction from husband David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd), but a huge crisis will rock the family in the run-up to Christmas, paving the way for Paula's departure who'll go on maternity leave to have her first child.
