After an incredible 50 years on the show, Gail is preparing to say her goodbyes. It was announced back in June that the beloved 'Street legend' would be leaving her iconic role. Fans were saddened by the news and couldn't help but wonder how the soap's writers would handle such a monumental departure. It's certainly no easy task!
Initially, the plan was for Gail's ex-husband Martin Platt to make a return to the show. However, things took an unexpected turn when actor Sean Wilson, who plays Martin, was suddenly dropped from production for personal reasons. This led to last-minute changes in the scripts, with comedian and actor John Thomson stepping in to reprise his role as Jesse Chadwick after 14 years.
Despite these unexpected changes, executive producer Iain Macleod has assured fans that Gail's exit will still have a happy ending. He explained, "Gail's exit is a brilliant story. We wanted to give viewers what they really want - a happy ending for her. After all the challenges she's faced in her life, it's only fitting that she gets the happy ending she deserves."
As for how Gail will leave the show, it's still a mystery. However, it has been confirmed that Martin will not be involved in her departure. Gail's absence will certainly be felt by both the characters on the show and the viewers at home.
In a recent behind-the-scenes photo, actress Channique Sterling-Brown, who plays Dee-Dee Bailey, revealed that Gail's iconic house on No. 8 Coronation Street is up for sale. The photo shows an estate agent sign in front of the house, confirming that the Platts will be saying goodbye to their longtime residence.
The house has been a part of the show since 1991, when Gail and Martin moved there as newlyweds. Gail remained the sole owner until 2013 when she sold it to her son David and his wife Kylie. In a twist of fate, the house was later bought by devious businessman Ray Crosby, who planned to demolish it and redevelop the area.
As for why Gail decides to sell the house, that remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure - it will kick off an intriguing new storyline in the coming weeks. Channique's Instagram post quickly gained attention from fans, with many speculating about Gail's departure and the fate of her beloved home.
