Helen Worth is reportedly in the process of filming her final scenes as Gail Platt on Coronation Street this week.
The 73-year-old actress announced her departure from the ITV soap in June after an incredible 50 years playing the iconic character. Helen expressed that it feels like the “perfect time” to step away from the role.
According to the Daily Mail, Helen is now officially filming her last scenes. While the full storyline for Gail’s exit hasn’t been disclosed, recent episodes have shown her getting engaged, seemingly preparing to leave Weatherfield for good.
Jesse Chadwick recently returned to the cobbles following an off-screen trip to Thailand with Gail. After revealing their relationship to her family, Gail decided to take things further by proposing to him.
This marriage could mark Gail’s seventh time tying the knot, with previous unions not ending well.
Executive Producer Iain MacLeod has promised a joyful farewell for Gail, reassuring fans: “Gail won’t die. Killing her off just didn’t feel right.”
MacLeod shared that her exit would be satisfying for viewers: “Gail has faced plenty of hardship—a tough childhood and disastrous marriages. We felt that giving her a happy ending is what fans would most want to see.”
A source previously shared with The Sun that Gail’s exit storyline will likely feature a wedding, explaining: “Helen and Gail have been key to Coronation Street since 1974, so her departure calls for an unforgettable storyline.”
The source added that “the wedding scenes are being filmed, and they’ll surely keep viewers hooked.”
When Helen first shared the news of her departure, she thanked fans and the Corrie team, saying, “I made the decision earlier this year and was met with kindness and understanding from the producers. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to work with talented actors, directors, and an amazing crew, with wonderful scripts every week.”
