SHOCKING NEWS!! Coronation Street fans select best Gail moment in 50 year long history Maisie Spackman

Gail Platt (Helen Worth) has had some iconic moments over the years in Coronation

Street, and now Metro readers and fans of the show have chosen their favourite.

Back in October, the soap stalwart’s health took a turn for the worse after she suffered

another heart attack, leaving her family and viewers concerned.

Gail’s new partner Jesse Chadwick (John Thomson) rushed her to hospital. There, the Platt clan learnt that Gail would need to have a stent fitted to help the blood flow around her heart better.

The worrying development came ahead of her exit after 50 years on the ITV soap, during which time she has been involved in some high profile storyline.

When Metro asked Coronation Street fans on Reddit what their favourite Gail Platt moments were, there was a clear winner, receiving 24 upvotes from other fans in agreement.

‘Her fight with Eileen,’ the comment said.

Viewers will know that Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) and Gail are sworn enemies, and have fallen out more than once.

The pair have had their fair share of fist fights over the years, normally in defence of their kids, and fans absolutely love it.

There was also a lot of love for her involvement in Sarah Platt’s (Tina O’Brien) teenage pregnancy storyline.

‘She was also absolutely fantastic throughout the Sarah teen pregnancy storyline,’ one fan wrote. ‘I think she was a large part of what made the nation captivated with it at the time.’

And of course, fans will never forget the time she was ‘on pills, for God’s sake!’.
