Audrey Roberts takes desperate action to stop Gail Platt leaving Coronation Street
AUDREY Roberts will take drastic action to stop Gail Platt from leaving Coronation Street.
The iconic character will leave the cobbles this Christmas after 50 years on screens.
Earlier this year Helen Worth made the shock announcement, leaving fans devastated.
She is due to bid farewell to Weatherfield on Christmas Day during the soap’s one hour special.
But upcoming Coronation Street scenes will see Gail’s mother Audrey Platt attempt to block her daughter from leaving.
Audrey will pretend she’s been struck down by an illness, leaving Gail worried.
When Gail takes her temperature, Audrey cunningly dips the thermometer into David Platt’s coffee.
After seeing the results, Gail then orders her mum to see a doctor as soon as possible.
Later on, Audrey can’t hide her disdain for Gail soon-to-be sixth husband.
Gail tells Shona and Sarah that she’s arranged a pre-wedding pampering session at the salon for all of them and they’ll need to take the morning off.
But while in the salon, Audrey serves up glasses of fizz whilst making scathing remarks about Jesse.
Coronation Street airs these scenes from Monday, December 16th on ITV1 and ITVX.
