As fans of the ITV soap have seen, Bethany Platt was left fighting for her life after undergoing cosmetic surgery

Coronation Street fans have been pondering whether a Weatherfield favourite has already left the street as they go missing amid their family’s latest ‘devastation’.

As fans of the ITV soap have seen, Bethany Platt was left fighting for her life after undergoing surgery that went wrong in Turkey. She had headed to Istanbul to work with a cosmetics company, using her journalist background to write advertorials for the CEO, who is a friend of Debbie Webster.

However, once getting to the clinic, Bethany decided to have work done herself but the liposuction went disastrously wrong and resulted in her contracting sepsis.

During Wednesday night’s (September 25) episode of Corrie, Sarah Platt was seen arriving at the hospital to be by her daughter’s side after Bethany’s boyfriend Daniel Osbourne was the only one who could immediately get out of the country to be there with her.

And there were distressing scenes as, after Sarah furiously gave Daniel his marching orders as she blamed him for her daughter wanting cosmetic surgery in the first place, she had to break the news to Bethany that she now has a stoma. Initially, Bethany thought it’d just be for a few days before Sarah explained it would be for life.

While the Platt’s are facing their latest family crisis, back in Weatherfield, fans have noticed that matriarch Gail is nowhere to be seen. In the mid-week episode, Audrey Roberts was seen at No.8 as she waited for news with David Platt.

But as Corrie viewers know, Gail will soon be waving her goodbyes to Weatherfield after an incredible 50 years. It was announced back in June that Helen Worth would be bowing out of the iconic role after five decades.

She was said to have started filming her exit as Platt matriarch Gail in July with her last scenes set to air by the end of 2024. Confirming the reason behind her exit, Helen, 73, said in a statement: “This year felt like the perfect time to leave the show after celebrating 50 years in the most wonderful job on the most wonderful street in the world.”

With Gail appearing to be awol, Corrie fans took to social media. @paulcur74986927 said: “Where is Gail i don’t understand it she was in an episode the other week her granddaughter is in hospital and no sign of her and apparently she’s leaving soon makes no sense to me #corrie.”

@lliss19 asked: “Where’s Gail? #Corrie.” @flaxscottz echoed: “Where, may I ask, is Gail! Where is Queen Helen of Worth in her final months at #corrie.” @camjmes0 quizzed: “Has Gail left already? #Corrie.” @jonathanland91 added: “Where’s Gail when her granddaughter’s fighting for her life? It’s a shame we haven’t seen much of her over the last few months when she’s meant to be leaving the show at the end of the year. Is it just me or does anyone else feel her exit’s going to be really rushed? #Corrie.”
