Helen Worth has recorded a goodbye message for Coronation Street fans as her character Gail Platt left the soap after a remarkable 50 years on the cobbles.
Gail bowed out of Weatherfield in an emotional Christmas Day episode that saw her decide to marry Jesse (John Thomson) and bid farewell to her family before setting off for a new life in France.
In a video released after the episode aired, Worth said: “Hello, all of you. It’s wonderful to have this opportunity to say, ‘ta ta!’
“It’s been a fabulous fifty years, and I just wanted to thank all of you, some of you who may have been watching for fifty years. Is there anybody? And those of you who’ve been watching for a few years, thank you.
“Thanks for coming on the journey with me. I’ve had a wonderful time. I’ve loved it all.
“All the stories, and of course, working with the wonderful Platts, which, for me, is what it’s all about. And there’ll be more Platt stories, and I hope you’ll be watching.
“Lots of love and thanks from me. Bye.”
