With just weeks to go until soap legend Helen Worth bids farewell to Weatherfield icon Gail Platt and the cobbles, the long-suffering matriarch and her clan have united for one last special family portrait.
As fans of the ITV soap know, there are few TV families more dysfunctional than Gail’s brood, and as she prepares to wave goodbye to them and her home of five decades with Jessie Chadwick, she is blissfully unaware of the secrets her offspring are keeping and the ticking time bombs she is leaving behind.
As a new ITV promo has revealed on Monday (December 9), behind the smiles of the stylish family photo, Gail’s plan to marry Jessie on Christmas Day and swap the cobbles of Coronation Street for the boulevards of France is going to be anything but plain sailing.
Lies and betrayal look set to destroy David and Shona’s marriage. Struggling to deal with David’s deception over his visit to her son Clayton Hibbs in prison before he attempted to take his own life, Shona has secretly slept with Detective Kit Green.
As David comes under pressure from the Radcliffe brothers, Matty and Logan, to return the money he stole from locked-up gangster Harvey Gaskell, will his suspicions about his wife’s infidelity push him over the edge?
Eldest son Nick, meanwhile, is refusing to give up on his illicit relationship with Toyah Habeeb, but unbeknownst to them Leanne Battersby is determined to make the lovers pay for betraying her and has hatched a plan to frame them both for fraud.
Sarah is still struggling to deal with the aftermath of daughter Bethany’s botched cosmetic surgery, with Daniel Osbourne set to propose could things be looking up for them or is there more heartache to come?
Elsewhere, Max Turner is still determined to stand by girlfriend Lauren as she awaits her trial for the murder of Joel Deering, but has the teenager underestimated what he has signed up for and can he cope with the responsibility?
And finally, Gail is unaware of just how much her beloved mother Audrey Roberts is struggling with her daughter’s plans to leave her behind and jet off to a new life with Jessie. As the wedding day draws closer Audrey resorts to desperate means to persuade Gail to change her mind. Will she succeed?
With just weeks to go to the Christmas Day wedding will Gail be waving goodbye to Weatherfield with her sixth husband or looking to her future life in France as a single woman?
