Coronation Street's Gail Platt star Helen Worth's family tragedy, famous ex and reason for soap exit after 50 years
After an incredible 50 years, Helen Worth is officially waving goodbye to Coronation Street as Gail Platt decides to leave Weatherfield, and her often difunctional family, behind. While fans have got to tune in to the ITV soap on Christmas Day to see if Gail gets her happily ever after with her sixth husband - after her seventh wedding - what we do know is that the warring Platt family won't make things easy and they're set to be at the forefront of what's to come in the new year.
