It's been a while since we've heard from Sean Wilson on social media, following his abrupt departure from Coronation Street. Fans were eagerly anticipating his return as Martin Platt for Gail's exit storyline, which was set to play out over the autumn. Unfortunately, in August, it was announced that Sean had stepped down from the role for personal reasons.
There were also reports that a concern was raised about Sean during a meeting with show bosses, which happened before he left the soap. This was a surprise to everyone, especially since filming had already begun and they were expecting to shoot more scenes with Sean before he left again. The situation was kept under wraps, but it was clear that it was serious enough for the show to make the decision to replace him.
Martin Platt is the father of David and Sarah, and his return was meant to be a significant part of Gail's departure. However, it has now been revealed that John Thomson will be taking over the role instead of Sean. This has caused quite a stir among fans, as it means the show will be reigniting the long-standing feud between Eileen and Gail.
According to sources, there were many different ideas for Gail's departure storyline, but they ultimately settled on a love interest plot. However, this proved to be a challenge since Gail has already buried five of her six ex-husbands, leaving Martin as the only living one. With Sean's sudden departure, the show had to find someone else to fill the role, and they chose John Thomson due to his popularity with viewers and his previous character's history with Eileen.
Despite the unexpected change, fans are excited to see John Thomson back on the cobbles, and his character's return is sure to bring some drama and humor to the show. It also leaves the door open for Gail's potential return in the future, should she ever decide to make a cameo appearance.
Recently, Sean returned to social media, sharing a simple picture with the caption "Xx". This has caused some speculation about his time away, but we still don't have much information about the situation. One thing is for sure, though, the show will continue on, and fans can expect some exciting twists and turns in the upcoming episodes.
