Oh dear, prepare yourselves for the return of an old foe - for the last time, that is! Coronation Street is about to bring back one of its most infamous characters for the exit of the beloved Gail Platt. Serial killer Richard Hillman will make a shocking comeback, albeit not in the flesh. Actor Brian Capron has reprised his role as the murderous salesman for Gail's final episodes after an impressive 50 years on the show. Fans will fondly remember Richard's reign of terror as one of the show's most thrilling storylines, with many other soaps trying to replicate the camp killer madness.
As Gail reflects on her life and prepares to tie the knot with Jesse Chadwick, she will be visited by a vision of her evil ex-husband, who will guide her in one way or another. This exciting development was first revealed by a source to Metro, who spotted a dripping wet Brian Capron on set during the filming of these scenes. Richard was at the center of one of Corrie's most iconic storylines, making his return all the more thrilling.
Initially, we decided to keep this information under wraps to preserve the surprise for Helen's 50-year tenure on the show. However, the Sun has since leaked the news that Richard will indeed be back, though in a brief appearance. Whether this will influence Gail's decision to say "I do" for the 1,000th time remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure, this marks the end of the line for the beloved character, as show boss Kate Brooks has confirmed that Christmas Day will be her final episode.
In the spirit of Christmas, we wanted to tap into the family dynamics of the Platts for Gail's exit. As Brooks explained, "it's a story about how secrets impact and implode on a family." There will be plenty of betrayals and revelations during this festive episode, making it a must-watch for fans. Gail's wedding will be a central theme, and as the title "Bride and Doom" suggests, it may not be smooth sailing for the bride-to-be.
Brooks also touched on the need for some escapism during these difficult times, and how the show has had a dark but brilliant few months. She hopes that this episode will provide a mix of emotions for viewers, with tears, laughter, and gasps throughout. And afterwards, they can sit back and feel satisfied that it was just what they needed.
As for Gail's iconic status, Brooks couldn't agree more. "It's Gail! 50 years she's been on the Street!" she exclaimed. It was crucial to give her a fitting and true-to-character exit, which is exactly what the team has done. Gail's departure will be steeped in nostalgia, a tribute to her 50 years on the show and all the memories she has created for viewers. It's a bittersweet moment, but one that is sure to be a memorable and emotional farewell for the iconic character.
