Coronation Street viewers issued a demand for Gail Platt's in tonight's episode.
The veteran character has been played by Helen Worth on the long-running soap since 1974. The soap icon has played a key part in some of Corrie's most turbulent storylines during her 38 years in Weatherfield.
The 71-year-old's stint in no.8 started by exploring her rocky relationship with mum Audrey Roberts, who always prioritised her own social life. Coronation Street viewers have since watched Gail's journey into adulthood and her rollercoaster love life as she has been married six times.
