Fans of Coronation Street are confused about the whereabouts of Gail Platt during her exit storyline.

After an incredible 50 years on Coronation Street, it has been announced that Helen Worth will be leaving her iconic role as Gail Platt. Fans of the show have been left puzzled by the lack of screen time for Gail leading up to her exit next week. Many have been asking, "Where is Gail?" as the Platt family matriarch seems to be missing from her own farewell storyline.

In June, it was revealed that Worth would be departing from the ITV soap before Christmas. The upcoming episodes will see Gail tying the knot for the seventh time with her new love, Jesse Chadwick. Of course, being a Platt, things don't go exactly as planned. Gail's mother, Audrey Roberts, throws a wrench in the works with a troubling ultimatum, and Jesse's lies begin to unravel.

Viewers have also seen Gail's son, David, hiding a secret stash of money that he stole earlier in the year. The money was meant to help Gail's daughter, Bethany, recover from a botched surgery in Turkey. However, David discovered the hidden cash and planned to use it to buy the family home, as Gail was planning to move to the south of France.

But as Gail's wedding day approaches, everything seems to be falling apart. Jesse is aware of David's scheme and everything is set to be exposed next week. Interestingly, Jesse was hastily written into Gail's exit story after original plans for her to reunite with her ex-husband Martin Platt fell through due to actor Sean Wilson's sudden departure. Allegations of sexual assault from Wilson's past resurfaced, leading to all of his pre-filmed scenes being scrapped. However, the charges have since been dropped against the star.

Fans have been vocal about their thoughts on Gail's exit, with many pointing out her lack of screen time in her final weeks on the show. One viewer wrote, "Where is Gail?? 50 years on the show and this is how she is being written out?" Another commented, "The way they are going, they could quite easily have Gail's last episode without her."

Despite the disappointment from some fans, Gail's exit on Christmas Day is sure to be a momentous occasion. But there is one surprise in store for viewers when her murderous ex-husband, Richard Hillman, makes a ghostly return from beyond the grave. What could be the cause of such a haunting vision?
