Helen Worth, the iconic actress who has been a beloved part of the popular show since the 70s, recently received a heartwarming response from a soap writer, Daran Little, when he came out as gay to her. Daran, a talented writer who has won a BAFTA and been nominated for an Emmy, has written numerous episodes for both Coronation Street and EastEnders. He often shares behind-the-scenes stories and memories from his time working on Coronation Street, especially now that Helen has announced her departure from the show later this year.
In a recent post on social media, Daran shared a photo of himself with Helen and revealed that she was the first person he came out to. He described how she comforted him and said, "Your adventures are just beginning." Daran expressed his love and support for Helen as she embarks on her next adventure, and it's clear that their bond goes beyond their professional relationship.
Speaking of Helen's departure, Daran shared his admiration for her and the impact she has had on Coronation Street. He also mentioned the upcoming 50th anniversary of Helen's character, Gail Platt, on the show. It was confirmed that Helen will start filming her final storyline next month, with the emotional departure expected to air later this year.
In an interview, Helen shared her thoughts on leaving the show after an incredible 50 years of playing Gail. She made the decision at the start of the year and is grateful for the amazing scripts and talented cast and crew she has worked with. She also mentioned that it hasn't quite sunk in yet that she will no longer be a part of the show.
Executive Producer Iain Macleod also had kind words for Helen, calling her a "legend" and an "icon." He praised her for her portrayal of Gail and the memorable storylines she has been a part of, including her infamous marriage to Richard Hillman. He also mentioned her complicated yet endearing relationships with her children and mother on the show.
Fans of Coronation Street were also treated to some exciting news about Gail's storyline. It was reported that she will reunite with her ex-husband Martin Platt, played by Sean Wilson, leading to a potential return for the actor. The decision to bring Martin back was made to give Gail a proper send-off and honor Helen's incredible run on the show.
The insider shared that the writers want Gail's story to end on a positive note, with her finally finding her happy ending. They didn't want to kill off the character or add more tragedy to her already tumultuous life. Instead, they want to celebrate Gail and her impact on the show, as well as honor Helen's remarkable contribution. Fans can't wait to see how Gail's storyline unfolds and what surprises are in store for her in the coming months.
This heartwarming response from Daran and the news of Gail's upcoming departure have left fans emotional and excited for what's to come.
