Coronation Street fans miss nothing – and some have spotted an intriguing addition to the show’s set that could be a huge clue to how legendary character Gail Rodwell (Helen Worth) leaves the show later in the year.
Back in June it was announced that the ‘Street legend would be leaving her role after 50 years.
As fans mourned the loss of such an icon, they also wondered how soap bosses would manage to write out such a titan. It’s no easy task!
Original plans were due to see her ex-husband Martin Platt (Sean Wilson) return.
After being back on set and recording scenes, Sean was suddenly dropped from production for ‘personal reasons’. With scripts hastily altered, his part will now be fulfilled by comedian and actor John Thomson, who is reprising his role as Jesse Chadwick after 14 years.
Hopefully – despite the changes – executive producer Iain Macleod will stick to his confirmed ‘happy ending’ for Gail.
