Gail Platt rushed to hospital clutching her chest in harrowing Coronation Street exit storyline
GAIL Platt will be rushed to hospital while clutching her chest in her harrowing Coronation Street exit storyline.
The long-running character will suffer a massive health setback after Jesse Chadwick returned to the street.
Actress Helen Worth previously announced she would be leaving Coronation Street after a 50 year career on the cobbles.
Events will soon take a drastic turn on the popular ITV serial drama in forthcoming scenes.
It will start when Audrey (Sue Nicholls) and her grandson David (Jack P. Shephard) both have Gail on their minds.
They are both in agreement that she should not trust Jesse (John Thomson) and is a fool if she does.
After Gail was forced to take out a loan to cover Bethany’s medical costs, Carla (Alison King) will then make an interesting move.
She will tell David and Shona (Julia Goulding) that she wants to buy their home and has put in an offer to do so.
But the family tension is not getting easier as the Platt family are engulfed in a huge row.
Gail will snap at her kids as David and Sarah (Tina O’Brien) continue to argue with Jesse, and she tells them to get out of their home.
Meanwhile, Jesse is on the hunt for Lilly’s bicycle pump and will be completely bewildered by what he will find in the stair cupboard.
However, he will soon become panicked as Gail will be in need of urgent medical assistance.
Jesse is forced to call for an ambulance after he sees Gail clutching her arm with unsteady breath.
David, Sarah and Nick (Ben Price) arrive back on the street, just as Gail is carted out the house.
Just as the siblings blame themselves for starting the row with Jesse, he’s more concerned with his discovery from under the stairs.
Although Jesse will try and get a confession from David, will he own up?
