A CORONATION Street boss has revealed another legend 'will quit' the show after Gail Platt's departure. Fans of the long-running ITV soap were left devastated after Helen Worth announced she had quit . The actress, 73, has played the role of Gail Platt on the Weatherfield cobbles for a whopping 50 years.
Helen will start filming her exit storyline from next month with her on screen exit set to air at the end of the year. However, in a further blow to fans, a Coronation Street script writer has said Sue Nicholls - who plays Helen's on screen mum Audrey, won't want to stay. Daran Little posted on X, formerly Twitter: "My gut feeling is Sue won't want to stay long without Helen.
"No insider knowledge, just a feeling." Sue, 80, has been a staple of the cobbles since she joined back in 1979. In an emotional statement, Helen Worth said on Wednesday: “This year felt like the perfect time to leave the show after celebrating 50 years in the most wonderful job on the most wonderful street in the world.
“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. “The past 50 years have flown by and I don't think the fact that I am leaving has quite sunk in yet.
