Christmas Day on Coronation Street is not known to be an easy ride – and that’s no exception for Gail who is forced into making a huge decision in front of her whole family
Coronation Street fans are set for a full feast this Christmas with an hour long episode showing explosive drama on the Cobbles.
Last night saw Gail get a ghostly visit from her ex-husband, the murderous Richard Hillman, as she considered her options. She found out that Jesse and David had been plotting behind her back, which left her completely stumped. Tonight she is set to walk down the aisle, but she finds herself torn. Adding to this, the rest of the Platts are at each other’s throats. In a typical family Christmas, things are set to get a lot more tense for the Christmas finale.
The episode will revolve around the Platts and follow Gail as she considers her options. Premiering at 7pm on ITV, the episode could see us bid farewell to a long-loved character.
The police arrive at Gail’s wedding
Christmas morning means it’s Gail and Jesse’s wedding day, but will Gail leave Weatherfield as a newly-married woman, or bid farewell to her feuding family on her own? The character has had plenty of mulling over, and it is not clear whether she’ll choose Jesse or Audrey.
The reset of the Platts have gathered in the living room to open presents. David grows suspicious of Shona when he doesn’t unwrap the aftershave he found in her bag, which he believed to be his.
