Corrie star Tina O'Brien has played soap favourite Sarah Barlow, nee Platt, on the famous cobbles since 1999 and has seen many explosive row on the street over the years. The star was in a nostalgic mood as she celebrated Christmas by sharing a clip from one of the show's most dramatic festive showdowns.
She posted video of the tense Christmas dinner with Sarah, brother David, mum Gail, gran Audrey, neighbours Sally and Kevin Webster and his dad Bill and daughters Rosie and Sophie at number 8 back in 2006. Over dinner, trouble-causer David presented mum Gail with his late gran Ivy Tilsly's diary and read out an entry about Gail wanting to have an abortion when she was pregnant with him.
Gail, played by Helen Worth, looked devastated as her son shared the revelation as their guests squirmed in horror. "David Platt Christmas wrecker since 2006." wrote Tina, 39, as she posted the moment on her Instagram Stories, tagging in the soap, co-star Jack P Shephard, Helen Flanagan who plays Rosie and Brooke Vincent who plays Sophie.
