The news sent shockwaves through the Coronation Street community earlier this year when it was announced that Gail Platt, a beloved character on the show for 50 years, would be leaving. And now, the time has finally come for her exit storyline to unfold.
But things are not going as planned for the producers, as actor Sean Wilson, who was set to reprise his role as Martin Platt for Gail's departure, suddenly left the show. This left a void that needed to be filled, and it was filled by another former Corrie star, John Thomson, who will be returning to the cobbles as Jesse Chadwick.
The catalyst for Gail's decision to leave Weatherfield is her granddaughter, Bethany Platt, who has been having a tough time after undergoing botched surgery in Turkey. Due to complications with insurance, Bethany has been struggling to pay for her medical fees, and Gail has been forced to take out a bridging loan and sell her house to cover the costs.
As the end draws near, the drama continues to unfold on the cobbles. Gail's ex-boyfriend, Jesse, returns to Weatherfield, much to the surprise of Eileen, who happens to be there at the time. Gail reveals to Eileen that she met Jesse years ago in Thailand, and he has come back to check on her and Bethany.
Jesse's return causes quite a stir among the Platt family, with some members welcoming him with open arms, while others are more skeptical. As Adam and Daniel discuss hidden money, Jesse recognizes Daniel from Sarah's wedding pictures, bringing back memories for Eileen.
Shona, who has met Jesse in the café, urges David and Sarah to give him a chance and speak to him. But the question remains, what does Jesse have to say? According to actor John Thomson, Jesse is very concerned for Gail and Bethany, and has returned to Weatherfield to check on them after hearing about their struggles.
It seems that Jesse's return has divided the Platts, with Shona and Nick willing to give him a chance, while David and Sarah remain suspicious of his motives. But as they all know, Gail's track record with men has not been the best, making it hard for them to trust Jesse.
