It was announced in June that Helen Worth would be leaving her iconic role as the Platt family matriarch, after 50 years on the Street.

Speaking about the upcoming exit, Corrie‘s executive producer Iain MacLeod said: “Gail won’t die. It didn’t feel like killing her off would be right. Gail’s exit is a brilliant story. I thought, ‘What do the viewers want to see?’

“Gail has had a hard life. She had a difficult childhood and she disastrous marriages. So, we though what viewers really want is a happy ending for her, so that what we’re doing.”

Fans can rest assured that Gail’s final scenes will do her justice, as Worth has given them her seal of approval.
