Coronation Street legend gets engaged as ending to major exit story is sealed

This article contains spoilers for Sunday’s (October 27) Coronation Street, which has not yet aired on TV but is available to watch now on ITVX.

In recent Coronation Street scenes, Gail Platt (Helen Worth) left her family terrified when she suffered another heart attack, and was rushed to hospital.

Thankfully, the surgery to insert a stent was a success, and Gail woke up, keen to see her loved ones.

After a chat with David Platt (Jack P Shepherd) about how proud he’d made her, Gail was joined by new boyfriend Jesse Chadwick (John Thomson)

Gail confessed that she had been terrified that she was going to die, and as her life flashed before her eyes, her happiest moments where of her and Jesse in Thailand.

Viewers will know that Jesse and Gail had a holiday romance while abroad in 2021, and have been seeing each other occasionally ever since.

The pair recently agreed to make their relationship official, but Gail took things a step further during her hospital stay by asking Jesse to marry her.

Jesse was caught off-guard, and assumed that it was the painkillers talking.

When he later returned to her bedside, he was surprised when Gail referenced their earlier conversation, pointing out that he wasn’t sure she’d remember after the painkillers had worn off.

Gail insisted that she did remember and that she meant every word, revealing that she would love to be able to call him her husband.

Though Jesse pointed out that her kids didn’t exactly approve of their relationship, he explained that no one makes him happier than she does, and accepted the proposal.

With Gail set to leave the show, will Gail and Jesse get their happy ever after?
