Coronation Street’s Gale suffers heart attack near exit – Irvine Times

The programme, which will be broadcast on ITV1 at 8pm, comes after Worth, 73, announced she would be leaving the soap after 50 years as Gale at the center of the Platt family.

You’ll see Carla Connor tell Gail’s son David and his partner Shawna that she’s made an offer on their house.

An argument breaks out between Jesse Chadwick, played by John Thomson, who recently returned to the soap, Gail’s daughter Sarah and David, as Gail snaps and calls for her children to leave the house.

Jesse returned to Weatherfield after having a brief romance with Gail when the two were in Thailand, and decided to visit after hearing about the challenges of Gail’s granddaughter Bethany’s Turkish cosmetic surgery.

As Jesse looks for Gail’s granddaughter Lily’s bicycle pump, he is shocked by what he finds, but his curiosity fades when he notices Gail breathing unsteadily and grabs her arm and calls an ambulance.

David, Sarah and Nick, the eldest of Gail’s children, then arrive on the street as she is taken away in an ambulance, and David and Sarah blame each other for starting the row with Jessie.

It comes after the storyline of Worth’s exit was thrown into limbo after Sean Wilson – who played her ex-husband Martin Platt – announced his departure from the soap for “personal reasons”.

The 59-year-old last appeared on the cobbles six years ago and was due to reappear on screen this month as part of Worth’s departure.

Asked about a potential new replacement storyline, an ITV spokesperson said: “Sean Wilson has withdrawn from filming for personal reasons.”

The broadcaster said it would not comment further on the situation, having previously said Worth would be leaving following a “major Platt family storyline”.
