December 2nd 2024.
It's no secret that Gail Platt and Eileen Grimshaw's infamous brawl in the Street back in 2005 is still talked about among Coronation Street fans today. In fact, it's often cited as one of the most memorable scenes in the show's history. And now, viewers will get a chance to relive the drama as the soap revisits their long-standing feud in the lead-up to Gail's departure later this month.
Back in June, actress Helen Worth announced her exit from the show after an impressive 50 years on the cobbles. And as her final scenes approach, Gail has some big news to share with her loved ones. Next week, she and her fiancé Jesse Chadwick gather her family for an announcement that sends shockwaves through the Platts.
As the week goes on, Gail tries to bring her family closer together by organizing a night out at the Rovers. She even extends an invitation to her frenemy, Eileen, along with her mother Audrey Roberts, daughter Sarah Platt, granddaughter Bethany Platt, and daughter-in-law Shona Platt. But things quickly take a turn for the worse when Eileen starts poking fun at Gail during a quiz.
With their feud reignited, it begs the question: will Gail's final weeks in Weatherfield be overshadowed by her old rival? Helen and Sue previously reflected on their characters' long-standing feud during an appearance on This Morning in 2021, recalling the filming of their infamous street brawl. Sue joked, "While Helen is straddled over me, we said 'what a ridiculous way to pay the mortgage'".
