The Platt family continue to be at the centre of Coronation Street drama ahead of Gail Platt’s (Helen Worth) exit from the ITV soap.
So far, Gail has put Number 8 up for sale in an attempt to raise enough money to pay for Bethany’s (Lucy Fallon) medical fees.
The situation then got a tiny bit more complicated due to the arrival of old resident Jesse Chadwick (John Thomson), who claimed he was in Weatherfield to see Gail.
The very unexpected return leaves the Platt siblings suspicious all week. Coming up, Sarah (Tina O’Brien) and David (Jack P Shepherd) continue to question Jesse which leads to an argument.
Gail then snaps and orders her children out of the house.
Later, as Jesse searches for Lily’s (Brooke Malonie) bicycle pump in the cupboard, he makes a discovery but is distracted due to witnessing Gail struggle to breathe.
As Jesse rushes to help, he calls an ambulance while Gail remains breathless while clutching her arm.
The Platt siblings arrive on the street just as Gail is taken away in an ambulance. Sarah and David can’t help but blame themselves for starting the row with Jesse, but what will happen next?
Towards the end of the week, tensions are high as David feels he’s responsible for what happened.
How will this impact Helen Worth’s departure?
‘He met Gail in Thailand, he’s heard about Bethany and he’s very worried’, John explained, revealing why Jesse has returned to the troublesome land of Coronation Street.
‘So on his travels he’s returned via Weatherfield to check on Gail, because they’ve stayed in touch via email. He’s heard all about Bethany and he’s very concerned for Gail.’
