Helen has been playing Gail for the past 50 years, but now feels like it is the “perfect time” to leave.

Now the Daily Mail has divulged she is finally filming her last scenes on the show.

Her entire exit storyline has not been revealed yet – but viewers have seen Gail get engaged one last time in the lead up to leaving Weatherfield forever.

Jesse Chadwick recently returned to the cobbles after going on an off-screen adventure with Gail in Thailand.

After breaking the news to her family that the pair are in a romantic relationship, Gail decided to take an even bigger step and proposed to her beau.

And it seems it could be seventh time lucky for Gail, who has been married six times before.

Coronation Street’s executive producer Iain MacLeod has promised a happy ending for the long time character, telling soap fans: “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 disastrous marriages. So, we thought what viewers really want is a happy ending for her, so that’s what we’re doing.”

A source also previously told the Sun that Gail’s exit scenes would feature a wedding, adding: “Helen and Gail have been part of the fabric of Coronation Street since 1974, so only a truly big exit storyline would be fitting for her.

“The wedding scenes are being filmed at the moment and when they air, viewers will be gripped.”

When Helen made the announcement that she was quitting Corrie, the soap star told fans: “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.”
