Helen Worth’s exit storyline from Coronation Street has reportedly been uncovered, and it’s a tearjerker.
The soap icon has played Gail Platt for 50 years, but broke all our hearts when she announced that she would be leaving the cobbles for good very soon.
She is set to film her final storyline next month, with Gail’s departure expected to air later this year.
According to reports, the Platt matriarch will have one final love affair in Weatherfield before making her exit – with a very familiar face.
It has been claimed that she will rekindle her romance with ex-husband Martin Platt, teasing a bombshell return for actor Sean Wilson.
‘A number of options were considered for Gail’s departure from the cobbles but bosses knew the moment needed to truly celebrate one of Corrie’s most iconic characters as well as honour Helen’s astonishing run on the soap,’ an insider said.

‘It just didn’t sit right to kill her off or have Gail suffer more tragedy after, let’s face it, a pretty traumatic life.
‘Martin was always considered the one that got away and bosses are thrilled they’ve been able to tempt Sean back to wave Gail goodbye.’
‘The plotline has many nuances, twists and turns but script writers all want this to feel like a gorgeous end of Gail’s story, with her finally finding her happy ending,’ the source added to the Sun.
Sean joined Coronation Street in 1985, and found himself at the centre of some of the biggest storylines on the show.
His character famously embarked on a string of affairs, including a controversial relationship with underage neighbour Katy, who was 16 at the time – sparking a huge reaction from soap fans.
After decades on our screens, Martin left Weatherfield in 2005, before returning briefly in 2018.
