Heartfelt Goodbyes

Soap bosses paused filming across Coronation Street to allow the cast and crew to gather and bid farewell to Helen Worth, who has been a stalwart on the show. Viewers witnessed Gail Platt getting her long-awaited happily ever after on Christmas Day.

Touching Moment

A video released by ITV showcased the exact moment when the director called 'cut' on Helen's final scenes, with her on-screen family surrounding her in the Platt house. As the crew gathered to see her off, Helen became emotional and expressed her gratitude for the support throughout her years on the show.

Heartfelt Thank You

In a teary address to the cast and crew, Helen Worth acknowledged their contribution to her journey on Coronation Street, saying, "I couldn’t have done any of it without you. You are the most amazing team of people, and I really do say thank you."

Controversy and Change

However, a last-minute decision to release the episode early at 7am led to disappointment for fans who missed the opportunity to watch her farewell on TV.
