Coronation Street bosses have teased what they have in store for when Weatherfield staple Gail Platt bids farewell to the cobbles later this year. Last month, soap veteran Helen Worth announced she was stepping down from the long-running ITV show after 50 years of playing Gail. Since then, speculation has been rife about the nature of her exit, with Corrie boss Iain MacLeod insisting the character will be given a “happy ending”. “It didn’t feel like killing her off would be right,” he told the Daily Star. “Gail’s exit is a brilliant story.

There is the problematic issue that now everybody’s a critic. Everybody can go on social media and take down a restaurant if they don’t get what they want.” she told Salon Talks in a recent interview. “It makes everyone think that they can. There’s a lot of damage that they can do if they don’t understand food and real food criticism.” She continued: “When I said we created monsters, I was serious.” The series itself is undergoing some major changes this season, namely …
