Poor David has been driven to drinking Scotch now - because of his stepson from Hell.
He simply isn’t worth it, David!

What a brave lad tonight, showing no fear when speaking to that bunch of racists who are corrupting his son - and
given his history, that’s not exactly difficult.
They’re all much bigger than him too.
A big size doesn’t necessarily mean a person has guts!

Poor David is still having trouble with stepson, Max. He’s done well to tell the Police that the conniving teenager has been making death threats online.
What a disgraceful thing to do. If Max disowns David, then he can devote his time to someone more deserving of it.

How CAN you side with that rotten little stepson of yours over Daniel?
Perhaps ruining the life of a teacher with a five year old daughter is normal to you, but it ISN’T to the rest of us. One, two, three….. all together now - tongues OUT!

Rob, what do you think when actors say stuff like 5'6, 5'7 on a good day.
Do you think they are openly lying? or do you think maybe they just don't care, and measured themselves at like 5'5 and 3 quarters, rounded it to 5'6. Maybe done it again in shoes and got 5'7 and was like ''oh nice'' haha.

Editor RobMaybe some genuinely get 5ft 6 and change, but I think in most cases I'd go with the former being closer to the truth than the latter.
Or I suppose it could be the person is aware of morning height.
I mean I'm like 5ft 8, 9 on a good day...and by good day I mean after 10 hours sleep in a bed of my own and then measuring myself within 30 seconds of wakening up.

David has been a good father to Max, yet his jealousy has led to the contemptible little scrote jumping to false conclusions when he finds an excerpt of a love poem amongst Summer Spellman's property. (He has a crush on the poor lass since she helped him with his school work). Who does he think he is, going through her stuff in the first place? Now he's put Rob Mallard's teacher character's career and reputation in jeopardy.
It's not David's fault at all. He must be tearing his hair out, though personally, I'd far sooner tear the hair out of the lying little weasel stepson of his....! 😝😤

I don't believe it! David's stepson is really going off the rails. 👅 I know David did in his early years, but he was a little pickle who, in my opinion, underwent worse hardships than Max, not someone who attempts to whack his Dad, the father who has loved and cared for the young 'Milky Bar Kid' since his Mum was tragically killed. Suddenly, he's shot up - yup, a different actor! - and is using people in a corrupt and thoughtless way.
David's only a small fellow weighing in at 8 stone and that erring Max is going to shoot up and become a real threat.
As a fellow patient said to me in hospital, today's Soaps are very adult-rated.
Poor David! As so many comments I read a minute ago stipulate, Jack is a well-proportioned guy and could pass for about 3/4 of an inch more.
5ft5.75 for the young scamp turned devoted father!
Dad of two =🥈...🧔👌

Well done kiddo for standing up to stinker Ray Crosby! He's definitely got a superiority complex, but when little guys stand up to creeps like him, it makes for excellent viewing! David's twice the man Ray will ever be.

I remember only too well when Jack's David Platt was brattish and annoying, which wasn't surprising after what he'd had to endure courtesy of his mother's dangerous taste in boyfriends.
He has well and truly grown up now, bringing up his kids and doing his best to keep his wife in line after she so tragically got caught up in a Christmas crossfire, ending up in a coma.
Now, her consciousness back in full swing, his wife seems to be teetering on a second, and very michievous, childhood, having found it hugely amusing to spill a drink over one of David's customers. "I'm seeing to the next one", he tells her. "She's our most difficult...."
David works in his Nan's hairdressers, which, upon her demise, the salon becomes his. Grandma Audrey signed it over to David, and I must say, I thought it was a strange decision to make, but not now. He's become a pillar of Society, with a great sense of humour - and responsibility.
Good luck to him for that. The young man has been through so, so much, with his former wife being shot in the street, dying in his arms.
Blimey, if his character was real, he'd be deserving of a medal.
The biggest 5ft6 possible! 🥇🏆😄👍

As David walked to the chip shop with wife Shona, there was very little difference in it, if at all. Shona, played by Julia Goulding, had sneakers on, as did David. They looked one another straight in the face.

What on Earth is David getting up to, winding up the local rough crowd, jumping on their cars and throwing their bicycles around to create a reaction? Then they go and chase him and he laughs! I can think of safer ways to get the adrenaline going!
Silly boy! 🤭😝😂
He didn't look at all below average just now in the kitchen with his Mum and his sister, both of whom only just top the 5ft mark. I remember reading a comment on Jack's page a while back describing how the writer of said comment had seen the actor and that he was truthful about his height, and could even achieve as much as 5ft7 in the morning.
I don't see as much as 5ft7, but 5ft6 is distinctly believable.

Anyway, as I was saying, the verse in David's card to his Mum on her Birthday read as follows:-
Thanks, Gail,* for always being there
For showing me such love and care
Thanks for all you've done and do
How I've turned out is down to you! 😜
Funny David crossed out the word 'Mother' and wrote 'Gail' instead, but that is what he calls her. My own Mum would have hit the roof if I'd shown so little respect!
A few years back, the last line would have been a positive insult, but since David became a Dad, he's turned into a loving and responsible human being. He hasn't had an easy time of it in this Soap, either. His Mum married a murderous nutcase when he was still a child, who attempted to kill the whole family. Then many years on, David's wife was slain in the street, and when he found love again, his new wife ended up brain-damaged after a Christmas tragedy. He was also drugged and raped, but the evil attacker got his comeuppance, and is now serving a prison sentence.
David maintains a cheerful disposition, and loves his kids. In my mind, that makes him a true hero! 🥇

How can the Courts put David through that disgusting questioning as if he's the guilty party? He was raped, for crying out loud. Is it surprising that so many rape victims let their attackers get away with their heinous crimes? Steps have to be taken to do something about this - post haste.

At long last, David Platt is out of prison - for something he didn't do, and married to the woman of his dreams - yesterday!
I looked at them both last night, and although Shona is a little taller than David, I'd still consider them a same-heighted couple. 💒👰👨

@ Nik - I'm delighted that you think so! 😊👍
As for Jack, his character has gone full circle, as he is now a responsible and loving parent, whereas due to early turmoil in his life, he was a bit of a Jack the Lad. His brother Nick, (played by Ben Price) on the other hand, has turned into a real stinker, ripping off his own grandmother of £80,000 to settle up with his spurned ex-wife and cajole his way into the thoroughly decent Carla Connor's factory business, 'Underworld'.
I did approve of the way Jack's David extracted the relevant information out of his dirt-bag bruv, though, giving him a shave; it reminded me of Sweeney Todd! I'm bloody glad I don't have to shave - if I was a man, I'd stick with a beard!
Yet again, 5ft6, based on an earlier comment from someone who'd actually seen him and also to prevent him from burping in my ear!

On Friday night's second showing, Jack did a burp as loud as any 16 stone lumberjack! I had taken my eyes of the screen, buy that noise certainly made me look up!
After that, I'm not going to lower his height from the 5ft6 I gave him last time. He might creep up behind me and burp in my ear! 🙊😠

I'm delighted to have spent the last 50 minutes of my life watching the repeat of 'The Big Quiz', starring some members of the casts from 'Coronation Street' and 'Emmerdale'. Jack captained the 'Coronation Street' team and Mark Charnock the 'Emmerdale' side, who just about won the contest!
Little Jack and tall Mark had to go out onto the streets and collect as many selfies with willing passers-by as they could. It was great fun and a fine opportunity to see their heights!
Today I can muster up 5ft6 for Jack!

In today's 'Classic Coronation Street', from Christmas Day 1990, David was born! Considering how quickly the episodes fly by, this being the fifth Christmas since September 2017 when the old showings started, we won't have to wait unduly long before we see him actually for real, as he is one of the youngest kids to star in 'Coronation Street' and still be in the cast now. He probably played a little below his age, as is the case with so many child-actors. Even if it's by a mere year, that still accounts for a whole year's growth. A year seems like an eternity when you're a kid!

Jack's character of David Platt, too, has just been conceived in 'Vintage Coronation Street'! News leaked in April 1990 and Gail is guarding her secret fiercely, especially from her mother, who has publicised the young Sally's pregnancy all over the Street, much to her annoyance!
As with Helen Flanagan, Jack played his character from a small boy, probably even younger than Helen, so give it a couple of years at most and we can start watching Jack start sprouting up to his 5ft6 or so the he is today!

The 5'6" claims are all to do with Jack, but not the 5'7" ones!

to do with him!
Now it's time for a bit of Birthday fun:
I saw in a newspaper a few years back a picture of Jack depleting the contents of his bladder! The headline was: "Jack Pee Shepherd"!

Jack is known to wear Cat Boots on the show which give him an edge so I think Julia Goulding (Shona) would measure slightly taller barefoot, I would say 167cm at most for him.

@ Sandy Cowell - I have also seen listings of 5'7" for him! I think that Jack himself claims 5'6" and the average vote has him down as being halfway between 5'6" and the 5'5.5" quoted by Rob!
His character in "Coronation Street" has grown up since he was younger, he always tries to do the right thing now he is older but this has not always been easy because of the terrible things he has had to deal with in life.
I so agree that Jack is a fine actor, his performances have always been consistently good ever since he joined the cast as a little boy! Jack, from Leeds, has devoted so much of his life to "Coronation Street" and I am sure that he is popular amongst all the other cast members!
He has acted well under pressure and he does seem so natural with his on-screen children!
Cheers!

@ Sandy Cowell - Yes, he is a fine actor and it is great that this has been recognised at the soap awards! He fully deserved this honour!
Jack was originally listed as being 5'6" on this site, I think it is unlikely that he is below his current listing but I am not sure exactly how tall he is.
I hope to track down that conversation soon!

@ Nik - The conversation was very schoolboyish and silly, and it took me back a bit to things I would hear in my youth! But I do genuinely laugh at that sort of thing.
I think it was great that David was recognised as the best male actor recently. He did so deserve it!
Yes, lately I have noticed that he and Shona are much the same height. I used to think she was taller!
David gets 5ft6!

I hope that the heroics of David in reporting this incident will encourage every man in a similar situation to do likewise, the sick antics of men like that evil Josh need to be stopped and the sooner they are brought to justice the better. I really hope that we see justice and Josh really is deserving of a very big punishment, one which may put an end to his evil ways. He should not escape prison for what he did.
Also Jack has won the award of "Best male actor" at the soap awards and I am sure you will join me in saying that the excellent acting he has shown in the face of this storyline makes him deserving of this accolade!

@ Nik - I'm so pleased this guy plucked up the courage to report that cowardly little game-player once he'd discovered, with the ever-faithful Shona's help, that he'd done it before. If that young guy had reported the incident, it would never have happened again, and David knows that. He's breaking this sick cycle and that evil Josh will get his come-uppence!

Hey Rob!
For some strange reason I am having trouble submitting comments on most pages. The reason is that there now is a little form to fill in, which is fine, but when I put my email address, I am told that it is 'invalid'! As I have two, I have tried both of them, but the same thing happens with either!
What can I do? Do you think I need a new phone?
Thank you very much,
Sandy 🐈 👍😁

Editor RobIf it doesn't work, the name and email isn't matching what's stored.
In January I had to start asking for an email because in the future I needed a way to identify anybody who ever wanted to see a list of comments.
If they used a real email and emailed with a request like that, then I'd be able to help...
But if they used a made-up email, then I can't really identify them.
I would suggest to try using another name like SandyC or something.

Isn't 8 stone a bit skinny for a guy of Jack's 5ft5.5? Maybe he has filled out since that particular time because he didn't look overly undernourished in the boxing ring a few weeks back!
Furthermore he has grown a beard and I think he has made a conscious effort to look more manly, and that has probably included building himself up!
I remember when he was a tiny little boy; he's a proper man now, and a very good actor! 🏆

The poor sausage has ended up behind bars!
Also I owe him a bit of an apology as I underestimated his height the other day by half-an-inch! Well, at least I wasn't voting, but I am now, so he can have 5ft5.75, because as I said before, he can look Julia Goulding, who plays his heroic girlfriend Shona, straight in the face!

His proportions help him look taller on camera. I have quite a similar build to him and am 168-166 range from morning to night, and can fool some people for 5ft 6.5-7 range. Having a slim frame with a small head and quite a long neck can always make you appear taller in some pictures, and I am sure that it will also help Jack when on screen to give off the illusion of having slightly more height.

Just watched the short film "Taubman" featuring Shepherd and the recently added Ian Puleston-Davies (at a claimed 5ft 6.5), and at the end of the film the difference between them looks about 2 inches! Jack is in Converse mind you, while Ian is in dress shoes, but I think this is certainly enough to say Jack is below 5ft 6.
That aside though, like Sandy said he really is a great actor! I've gotta say his performance in "Taubman" gave me the chills just as he has also done on occasions in Coronation Street.

I think that Jack is more than likely in the 5'5.25" - 5'5.5" range. He certainly looks, at least close to, 3 inches shorter than Sue Cleavet, who invidentally looks the same height as 5'8" guy Charlie Condou!

I think he is no more than 5'5" to be honest, he probably is about this and I doubt that he is close to 5'6". I wouldn't rule out 5'5.5" but that would be tops.
He seems like a sound person and he is a good actor! Furthermore he is originally from Leeds too, which is about 12 miles from where I live!

I used to find Jack's Coronation Street character silly and irksome; recently, though it's been a whole new ball game!
I shall start by saying that I thought he was 5ft 5.5, but even if he's 5ft6, he still seems to have had to work that much harder in order to gain our subconscious respect, awful that this may be.
But lately, this young actor has truly excelled himself! His recent performance in Coronation Street has had me in tears!
It sure is an unfortunate fact that short people have to work that bit harder to prove themselves. I should know - I am one! This young guy, whom many of us remember as a little kid, has gone from strength to strength and now he is peaking!
No longer will I think that the best part of his performance is the comedy. He is getting my vote as the best male actor in the next Soap Star Poll!
(The original 'Jack the Lad' was a Jack Shepherd! I learnt that from Countdown's Susie Dent!)

I agree, I don't think he's quite 3 inches taller than 5ft 3 Paula Lane on Corrie either. He has decent proportions though so like some have said he can pass as average in the right clothes, but he's a noticeably short guy. It's interesting that Jack has played David Platt since the age of 12 as well and the character is supposed to be a little younger. He and Sam Aston (who plays Chesney Brown) both joined as kids and seemed to end up in the 5ft 5-6 zone, so the "child actors ending up short" pattern seems to work in soaps as well...
