Gail Platt (Helen Worth) has had some iconic moments over the years in Coronation Street, and now Metro readers and fans of the show have chosen their favourite.
Back in October, the soap stalwart’s health took a turn for the worse after she suffered another heart attack, leaving her family and viewers concerned.
Gail’s new partner Jesse Chadwick (John Thomson) rushed her to hospital. There, the Platt clan learnt that Gail would need to have a stent fitted to help the blood flow around her heart better.
The worrying development came ahead of her exit after 50 years on the ITV soap, during which time she has been involved in some high profile storyline.
When Metro asked Coronation Street fans on Reddit what their favourite Gail Platt moments were, there was a clear winner, receiving 24 upvotes from other fans in agreement.
‘Her fight with Eileen,’ the comment said.
Viewers will know that Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) and Gail are sworn enemies, and have fallen out more than once.
The pair have had their fair share of fist fights over the years, normally in defence of their kids, and fans absolutely love it.
With Gail now involved with Eileen’s ex-boyfriend Jesse Chadwick (John Thomson), could we be set to see another of their infamous fights?
Fans also recalled other iconic moments from Gail’s tenure, including the Richard Hillman storyline, which saw Gail and the Platts driven into the canal by her serial killer husband.
Another fan recalled her emotional monologue after Aidan Connor’s (Shayne Ward) suicide, citing it as ‘a reminder of how strong an actress Helen Worth is’.
