A sad goodbye! Coronation Street legend Helen Worth has quit the ITV soap. The actress has played Gail Platt since 1974. Next month, Helen will celebrate 50 years on the show. As well as marking this incredible occasion, she will also step down from her iconic role. She will begin filming her exit storyline next month, with Gail Platt’s departure expected to air later this year.
However, given her humility, I know Helen won’t thank me for saying so! In Helen’s hands, Gail has been a huge part of Coronation Street for five decades and at the centre of some of the most memorable storylines – often deriving from her catastrophically bad luck in choosing husbands! ‘Her ill-fated marriage to Richard Hillman was one of the most ground-breaking stories in soap history and cemented Gail’s already established status as one of the Corrie greats.
