Coronation Street actress of 50 years Helen Worth has been spotted out and about just one day after announcing her departure from the soap after 50 years - and she didn't look happy
Coronation Street ’s Helen Worth has been spotted for the first time since quitting the soap after an incredible five decades - and she looked rather downcast. The Corrie legend, who has played Gail Platt for 50 years, was spotted out in London shopping at Sainsbury’s, sporting casual jeans and a padded coat.
"I have been truly blessed to have been given the most incredible scripts week in week out, and to have worked with fantastic actors, directors and a brilliant crew. The past 50 years have flown by and I don't think the fact that I am leaving has quite sunk in yet.” Another added: “Oh no. Helen's one of my favourite actresses in Corrie. She's like in the fabric of the show like Bill & Barbara & Sue. But I suppose she might want to try something new for a change.”Helen, who joined the soap in 1974 as 16-year-old Gail Platt, has been at the centre of an array of explosive storylines during her 50 years on set, from her daughter Sarah's teenage pregnancy, and the death of her fourth debt-ridden husband Joe McIntyre.
