Coronation Street: watch Kylie and David's reunion from next week's episodes - see the full scene
But what reaction will David's errant wife get?
Kylie (Paula Lane) is to summon up the courage to knock on David's door next week - but what reception will she get.
Kylie - who was turfed out at Christmas thanks to her drug addiction - will finally make contact on Wednesday. But it doesn't seem that David wants a loving reunion anytime soon.
"Kylie wants to start again as a family, but David tells her that he's only going to pretend so that it looks good in court," says actor Jack P Shepherd.
So is David worried that there's a definite chance that Max could be lost should he not appear to be united with Kylie?
"Yes, that’s the whole reason why he decides to do that. He thinks it gives him more of a chance. He doesn’t have a cat in hell's chance of getting Max if he’s not with Kylie because, at the end of the day, he’s just a guy. He’s not Max’s real dad."
You can watch the clip from Wednesday's episode below. Beneath that, there's a 60-second rundown of all next week's drama on Coronation Street.
