Gail and Jesse had some exciting news to share with their family, and it was sure to leave everyone in shock. As Gail's exit from Coronation Street draws near, actress Helen Worth, who has played Gail Platt for 50 years, had announced her departure in June. After taking a break earlier this year, Helen returned to the show to continue her character's storyline.
The plot thickens as Gail reveals she has found love with Jesse Chadwick and begins making plans to leave the Street. The Platts are taken aback when they learn of Gail's decision to put their family home up for sale. As the couple starts to discuss their future and how they will use the money from the sale, they make a surprising choice that will be revealed next month.
Gail gathers her family, including her mother Audrey Roberts, daughter Sarah Platt, granddaughter Bethany Platt, and daughter-in-law Shona Platt, to share her big announcement. The news leaves everyone speechless, and they struggle to come to terms with Gail's decision. In an attempt to mend relationships before she leaves, Gail brings her family together at the Rovers and even invites her long-time frenemy Eileen Grimshaw. However, she soon regrets this decision as Eileen can't resist teasing Gail during a quiz.
Originally, Gail's exit storyline was supposed to involve her reuniting with her ex-husband Martin Platt. However, due to actor Sean Wilson leaving the show during filming, the writers had to quickly change the plot and bring back John Thomson as Jesse Chadwick. Helen had previously shared her thoughts on leaving the show, saying that after 50 years, it felt like the perfect time to say goodbye to the wonderful job and street that has been a huge part of her life.
