In the latest episode of Coronation Street, viewers finally found out the reason behind Gail Platt's prolonged absence from Weatherfield. As we all know, Gail left the cobbles on Christmas Day to start a new life with her new husband Jesse Chadwick in France. And since then, she has been living it up in the beautiful country.
However, fans have been wondering why Gail hasn't returned to be with her family after the tragic fire that destroyed their home. Well, the answer was revealed in tonight's episode. During a conversation between David Platt and Audrey Roberts, it became clear that Gail is unaware of the devastating event that has taken place.
Despite David's initial thought of reaching out to Gail and informing her about the situation, Audrey advised against it. She pointed out that Gail's health had already been put at risk in the past due to stress, and it wouldn't be wise to worry her with something she couldn't control. Eventually, David agreed with Audrey's perspective and decided not to inform Gail.
But Gail won't be the only one leaving Coronation Street in the near future. Sue Devaney, who plays Debbie Webster, will also be exiting the show as part of a storyline surrounding dementia. A source revealed that it will be one of the biggest storylines of the year, and Sue will give a performance of a lifetime.
Another long-time cast member, Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen Grimshaw, will also be saying goodbye to the cobbles after 25 years on the show. She stated that she's had a privilege to work on Coronation Street but has decided to embrace change and explore new adventures as she turns 60.
Colson Smith, who has been a part of the show for 14 years as Craig Tinker, will also be leaving as the show has decided to write out his character. He expressed his love for the show and its cast and crew, stating that he's excited to play out his character's exit story and see what the future holds for him.
Charlotte Jordan, who plays Daisy Midgeley, will also be departing as part of a secret explosive storyline. She stated that it's been a privilege to be a part of the show and work with such wonderful colleagues, but she's ready to explore other opportunities.
Shelley King, who has been a part of the show for 10 years as Yasmeen Metcalfe, has already filmed her final scenes in December. However, her exit storyline remains a mystery, and it's been confirmed that her character won't be killed off.
Last but not least, Paddy Bever, who plays Max Turner, has also filmed his final scenes and will be leaving in the coming weeks. He stated that it was a difficult decision to leave but is looking forward to new opportunities. In tonight's episode, Max woke up from his coma, but David was nowhere to be seen as he had been arrested for the fire.
