Legend of Coronation Street Gail Platt may be departing the show for an unexpected reason: fans have theorized Helen Worth’s exit narrative to be upsetting.
Veteran of Coronation Street Gail Platt may be headed for a quick departure from the program, based on fan theory that has been gaining traction.
Fans of the acclaimed ITV soap opera have imagined a bold plot twist: Gail may be hiding a shocking secret that she could be expecting Jesse’s child, her ex-boyfriend who has unexpectedly returned to Weatherfield.
Many fans have started making jokes about the situation, but some appeared genuinely curious about the possibility that the program could explore a plot with an older pregnancy. Neither in the world of dramatic television stories nor in real life would this be the first time that a 74-year-old woman became pregnant with twins.
Erramatti Mangayamma, who used donor eggs to become pregnant through IVF and had a safe cesarean delivery on Indian soil, presently holds the record for being the oldest new mother in the world.
In the made-up world of Coronation Street, Gail is 73 years old, the same age as her real-life actress Helen Worth. Taking into account the chances and the fact that Jesse is a young man (55 years old), being pregnant isn’t out of the question, according to the Liverpool Echo.
Diverse conjectures have incited discussions on many social media channels. A fan made a joke: “Watch out, soon enough [people] will be saying Gail Platt is pregnant!” One person jokingly said, “Gail Platt, pregnancy sealed?”
Some fans went a step farther with their predictions, with one warning: “She better not be!” In the meantime, a user boldly declared on X, the replacement for Twitter, “Mark my words, she’ll end up pregnant or something and want to raise the baby abroad.”
As one enthusiastic social media user put it, “I’d actually love this because they could kill her off-screen and send the baby to David and Shona to raise, or have them appear years later as a surprise.”
Ahead of her departure from the program, Helen declared, “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 beginning of the year and spoke with the producers, who were really understanding and kind,” she continued. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have worked with outstanding performers, directors, and crew members, as well as to have consistently been offered the most amazing screenplays. The last fifty years have gone fairly quickly, and I don’t think it really hit me that I’m leaving.”
