Is Helen Worth leaving Coronation Street as Gail Platt for good?
Helen Worth has been playing the role of Gail Platt since 1974 and has established herself as one of the shows most consistent characters. Gail is a fan-favourite and will be missed on the show, but Worth has not commented on the news of her departure. Her farewell moment came as one of the most shocking scenes in the show's recent history and will change the dynamic of the series moving forward. Gail decided to leave Weatherfield behind and go to Thailand, a very different change of scenery. The decision came when a hospitalised Gail told Audrey Roberts (played by Sue Nicholls) of her decision.
