It seems that Coronation Street fans may not have seen the last of Gail Platt, as executive producer Iain Macleod has already discussed her potential return with actress Helen Worth. After an impressive 50 years on the show, Helen said her goodbyes to the cobbles on Christmas Day, with her character Gail marrying Jesse Chadwick and leaving for a new life abroad.
As she bid farewell to her children, Gail assured her best friend Sally that it was simply an "au revoir" and not a final goodbye. And it seems that her words may ring true, as Iain has revealed that he and Helen have discussed the possibility of her returning to the show in the future.
"It's been a fabulous fifty years," Helen shared, thanking her loyal fans for joining her on the journey. "I've loved it all – the stories, and of course, working with the wonderful Platts. And there'll be more Platt stories to come, so I hope you'll be watching."
Iain echoed this sentiment, explaining that they wanted to leave the door open for Gail's return. And with an upcoming explosion stunt set to shake the Platt family's world, it's possible that Gail may make a dramatic comeback from her new home in the south of France.
The actress first appeared on the show in 1974, and it seems that she may not be ready to say goodbye just yet. With a new boss at the helm, the show is set to deliver some explosive storylines, including the fire that will put some fan-favorite characters in danger.
Behind-the-scenes pictures have already shown the cast and crew gathered outside of the burning building, and Iain has promised that it will be a real treat for viewers if Helen is able to make an appearance in some of these big moments. So, it looks like fans can expect some exciting twists and turns in the future of Coronation Street.
