In 2018, Sean Wilson, the former star of Coronation Street, made a surprise appearance on the show as Martin Platt. Recently, Sean was taken aback when a fan pointed out his uncanny resemblance to the famous composer, Mozart. He shared a screenshot of a young Mozart on social media and couldn't help but question the similarity between himself and his soap character, Martin Platt.
In response to the fan's observation, Sean expressed his disbelief by saying, "Well sometimes your flabber is ghasted... that's surely not right... I play guitar everyday but that's it lol... xx." It was clear that he was just as surprised as the person who noticed the resemblance.
Fans of the ITV soap will remember Sean's character, Martin, who joined the show as a teenager in 1985 and was involved in some of its biggest storylines for the next two decades. He married Gail Tilsley, the manageress of Jim's Cafe, and later became a father to their son, David.
However, Sean's time on the show came to an end when he disagreed with the producers' decision to have Martin and underage Katy together. He then went on to pursue a career as a cheese connoisseur, launching his own company, Artisan Farm, in 2009. Although he returned to Coronation Street briefly in 2018 to help his onscreen son, David, after he was raped, his character was later sent to live in New Zealand.
In an interview with The Daily Star, Sean reflected on his time on the show and the changes he's noticed in the soap industry. He said, "I think the world of soaps is a different vehicle nowadays... I think I was part of the British soap industry at the best time, the halcyon years when there was 18 or 21 million people watching it." He also expressed his disappointment with current storylines, such as Paul Foreman's battle with motor neurone disease and Lauren Bolton's decision to sell nude photographs online, which he believes are solely focused on tackling societal issues.
When asked about the possibility of a future return to Coronation Street, Sean replied, "Well, we'll see. If the question was put in front of me then I'd have to think about it... I'm more than happy living the dream right now." It's clear that Sean is content with his current endeavors and is grateful for the time he spent on the show during its peak years.
