As viewers of the ITV soap know, the Platt’s will soon be entering a new era with the exit of matriarch Gail

Coronation Street fans think they have ‘rumbled’ David Platt’s error ahead of drama for the iconic family this Christmas. As viewers of the ITV soap know, the Platt’s will soon be entering a new era with the exit of matriarch Gail.

During Monday night’s (December 9) trip to Weatherfield, Corrie fans saw Gail starting her plans to leave the street she’s called home for five decades as she also decided to fast-track her wedding plans to Jesse Chadwick.

In the scenes, Gail observed her neighbours from a distance and as she stood outside her home, No.8 Coronation Street, which was already put up for sale earlier in the year, and decided to agree to Jesse’s plans to use the money from her house and his divorce to move to France.

Then, during Wednesday’s (December 11) Corrie, she called a Platt family meeting to break the news to her mother and her children.

Not only was did the revelation that their wedding was just two weeks away cause surprise among her love ones, but adding their plans to head off into the sunset and spend their days in Europe created quite the atmosphere.

David was furious, releasing not only was he having to share his birthday with Christmas and his mother’s sixth wedding day, but also feeling that his mum had turned her back on him with her plans to leave Weatherfield behind.

But he was soon distracted when his nephew Harry, Sarah’s son, emerged from his bedroom clutching a handful of £20 notes that he’d found in the wardrobe, with viewers knowing it’s the cash he stole from Harvey Gaskell after Damon Hay planned to give it to Sarah to help Bethany after her botched cosmetic surgery.

Jesse covered that David was saving for Shona’s Christmas gift but later, he urged David to accept to a deal to take the cash off his hands, without losing the funds to buy the house, and the pair reached an agreement. The pair then stood in the dark garden of No.8, passing over the money.

But Corrie fans don’t think Jesse is to be trusted. @shortie_2023 said: “Jesse will disappear with the money.” @j.me_01 commented: “Jesse is gonna fleece Gail. I can see it coming a MILE away!” @strawberryfields888 wrote: “David will lose all of that money to Dishonest Jesse!”
