SHOCKING NEWS!! Coronation Street releases new Gail tribute ahead of exit episode

Coronation Street has released a new tribute to Helen Worth as she prepares for her final episode as Gail

Platt.

It was announced in June that Worth would depart the ITV soap after 50 years in the role, with the actor

saying it was the “perfect time” to say goodbye.

With the character’s departure set to occur over the festive period, the tributes have come pouring in for a true soap icon, and now producers at Corrie have created a new video to commemorate the character’s legacy.

The eight-minute video, which has been released on the soap’s YouTube channel, includes footage of Worth’s leaving party, with the event – which took place at the famous Bistro from the soap – leading to many smiles and tears amongst the cast and crew.

Additionally, the tribute also includes a montage of Gail’s most famous storylines, ranging from her various marriages – six in total! – to her famous street spat with arch-nemesis Eileen Grimshaw.

Furthermore, it was revealed that Gail’s final episode, which will air on Christmas Day, will be released on streaming service ITVX earlier in the day. For eager Corrie fans, the episode can be viewed from 7am, before its airing on ITV1 at 7pm.

Worth previously released a statement regarding her exit, sharing: “This year felt like the perfect time to leave the show after celebrating 50 years in the most wonderful job on the most wonderful street in the world. I made the decision at the start of the year and spoke to the producers who were very kind and understanding.

“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.”
