Daran Little, renowned for his contributions to Coronation Street and EastEnders, recently shared a touching moment involving iconic actress Helen Worth. Little recounted the emotional experience of coming out as gay to Worth, who portrays the beloved character Gail Platt on Coronation Street. In a heartfelt tribute on social media, Little described Worth’s compassionate reaction, noting how she comforted him during a vulnerable moment in her dressing room. Her words of support— “your adventures are just beginning” — left a lasting impact on Little, underscoring Worth’s kindness and empathy beyond her on-screen persona.
Helen Worth, set to bid farewell to her role as Gail Platt later this year after five decades on the show, reflected on her decision to leave amidst celebrating her remarkable tenure. Expressing gratitude for the opportunity to portray Gail, Worth acknowledged the incredible scripts and collaborations that shaped her journey on the iconic street. Executive Producer Iain Macleod praised Worth’s contribution to Coronation Street, labeling her a “legend” and “icon” whose portrayal of Gail Platt navigated some of the show’s most memorable storylines.
Looking ahead, Gail’s departure storyline promises to honor her character’s legacy with a reunion potentially in store for her and ex-husband Martin Platt, played by actor Sean Wilson. The decision to not end Gail’s journey with tragedy but rather with a narrative that celebrates her resilience and family ties reflects the profound impact of her character on viewers over the decades.
