‘Where is she’ ask baffled Coronation Street fans after character ‘goes missing’ amid crucial storyline

CORONATION Street fans are baffled as a major character is missing from the action after their family member nearly dies.

Bethany Platt received life-changing news after her lipo surgery went seriously wrong and nearly died.

Her mum Sarah Platt and boyfriend Daniel Osbourne rushed out of the country to Turkey to see Bethany and be by her side during her traumatic experience.

Meanwhile, on Coronation Street, David and Shona Platt were involved in the action as they kept in touch with Sarah and talked about paying Bethany’s medical bills.

But viewers noticed Bethany’s gran, Gail Platt, was no where to be seen.

Taking to X – formerly known as Twitter – one said: “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.”

Another added: “Bethany is literally dying and they still can’t stick Gail into a scene?”

A third penned: “Can anyone remind me where Gail is supposed to be?? #Corrie.”

Bethany was left reeling after she was told that she would need to wear a stoma for life.

As Bethany adapts to her new life, will Gail be around to support her?

Upcoming spoilers have teased that things will be worse for the Platt family after Bethany contracts sepsis.

And Gail will decide to do something drastic in order to get the funds to help Bethany.

Gail has been on our telly screens for half a century. However the actress, Helen Worth, has quit the cobbles.

In a statement Helen said: “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. 

Coronation Street's 2024 shock exits

Corrie has said goodbye to several cast members this year. Let's break down who's left the famous soap:

Eliza Woodrow (Savannah Kunyo) has said farewell to Corrie to start a new life in Germany.

The youngster moved to live with her dad Dom Everett, who went back on the £10,000 bribe Eliza’s grandfather Stu had offered to keep him out of her life.

Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) will bow out of the soap this summer when he loses his fight with motor neurone disease (MND) in tragic scenes.

After being diagnosed last year, the fan favourite was devastated to learn he only had months left to live.

Viewers know he is planning to take his own life to end his suffering.

Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) departed the cobbles after being offered the opportunity of a lifetime to study in America.

Though she struggled to decide with her stepdad Paul’s impending death from MND, she was convinced she had to live her life to the full.

Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) has struggled with the sudden departure of his father Peter from the cobbles.

The Weatherfield legend left his family and loved ones behind on Boxing Day, 2023, when his wife Carla Connor encouraged him to travel around the world with a friend.

Simon’s been on a downward spiral ever since and his exit could end in tragedy.

Alya Nazir is set to leave the cobbles as actress Sair Khan prepares to go on maternity leave ahead of the birth of her first child.

It looks likely she’ll be heading to Dublin after securing a lucrative new job, leaving her colleague and fling Adam Barlow behind.

Show stalwart Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen Grimshaw, is taking a break to star in the Sister Act The Musical UK tour. She will be back filming in May once her dates on the tour come to an end.

Her character left the Street after her son Jason broke his back after falling off a moped in Asia.

“I made the decision at the start of the year and spoke to the producers who were very kind and understanding. 

“I have been truly blessed to have been given the most incredible scripts week in week out, and to have worked with fantastic actors, directors and a brilliant crew. 

“The past 50 years have flown by and I don’t think the fact that I am leaving has quite sunk in yet.”

The ITV soap had already filmed Gail’s exit storyline with her character’s former lover Martin Platt – played by Sean Wilson.

However, these scenes have been scrapped after Sean was called into a meeting with ITV execs last month and abruptly axed.

Soap bosses declined to give any explanation, insisting that the 59-year-old had “stepped down for personal reasons”.

A source previously told us: “A lot of people at Corrie didn’t know Sean had gone.

“Whatever it is, lawyers are involved because very senior soap bosses are not allowed to discuss it.”

Sean has broken his silence – as he took to social media to thank fans for their support.

Sharing a snap of a light-up ‘love’ sign, he said: “Thanks for all the love xxx.”

Soap bosses have remained tight lipped when coming up with a new storyline for Gail.

The circumstances of the character’s exit remains to be seen.

A for sale sign at her house hints that she will be moving away from Weatherfield for good, and a new family may be moving in, but who?

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

Whilst prices start at just £1.80, the new buys are so good, shoppers are admitting to fearing for their bank accounts.

One bargain hunter took to social media to show off the new-in cheap buys, with all things from posh plates to nice napkins and pretty plant pots.

The high-street shopping lover was thrilled with her finds and wrote: “I know it’s still only September… but it’s the most wonderful time of the year.”

The Primark fan and self-proclaimed ‘shopaholic’, who found the buys in a Primark store in Cardiff, spotted beautiful red and white side plates, with gorgeous bow detailing.

She also found Christmas present mugs, perfect for drinking cups of warm hot chocolate on a chilly winter’s night.

If it’s festive tableware that you’re after, you’ll be thrilled to see the new range of tablecloths, covered in Christmas holly.

And to really give your table some pizazz, there’s also matching napkins too. 

If things couldn’t get any better, there’s even a ‘ho ho ho’ Santa sleigh gravy boat jug that is sure to get your guests talking this December 25th. 

And if you’re after decor items that will bring the festive spirit to your home, then look no further as Primark has plenty to choose from – including candy cane and Christmas tree plant pots. 

Clearly very stunned by the Christmas bargains, the shopper later shared: “I’m so sorry I was too excited and didn’t get any of the prices.”

The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @haulatno4, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 498,100 views. 

Social media users were impressed with the new range and were keen to share this in the comments. 

My bank did not need me to see this

One person said: “I need all of this immediately.” 

Another added: “Primark is the gift that keeps on giving.” 

A third commented: “Well that’s where I’m going this weekend.”

Someone else claimed: “My bank did not need me to see this.”

Why is Primark the place to go to for bargains?

JUST how does Primark do it? Continue delivering on-trend items at such incredible prices? According to bosses, it's down to four points.

  • They “sell a lot of items” – Thanks to that, they are able to make savings by buying in bulk for their 191 UK stores
  • They “do very little advertising”
  • While their clothes offer the “latest trends”, they “don’t use expensive hangers, tags or labels”.
  • And lastly, they try to be “as efficient as possible when transporting products from factories to stores”. This includes things like asking “suppliers to pack our t-shirts so they are ready to go straight on shelf”.

For more information about how Primark keeps their costs so low, and are able to deliver such amazing bargains, visit the Primark website.

Whilst another simply penned: “Cries in poor.” 

TikTok users were particularly impressed with the bow plates, which many raced to express.

One user beamed: “The plate is giving Anthropologie.” 

Whilst a second chimed in: “Need the plates.”

“So, I don’t think that I said anything I regret; I was just sharing my real experience, and I’m proud of that.

I think we’ve seen a lot of comments from members not being super happy… we’re trying to just take it with a grain of salt because no one’s seen the show yet.

“There’s been a lot of videos made with opinions, and we’re trying to just take it with a grain of salt because no one’s seen the show yet.

“And we think once the show’s out, it’ll show a different light to what we’re doing.”

Going on she said: “The Church did release a statement that we’re pretty sure was kind of pointed at our show, and the statement just kind of said that we’re a gross misinterpretation of Mormons and not to take what we’re doing as Mormonism.”

Drivers risk $500 fines and jail time under new ‘automated ticketing’ law – you must obey 25-foot rule or face penalty

DRIVERS have been warned they could be at risk of a $500 fine or even jail time under new “automated ticketing” laws currently up for debate.

Lawmakers are considering imposing harsh penalties on motorists in an effort to double down on pedestrian safety.

Officials in New Jersey are cracking down on motorists passing school buses when they stop on the road[/caption]

A bill working its way through the New Jersey General Assembly would tighten the rules on passing school buses as they slow down or stop along their routes.

The proposal would see number plate recognition cameras installed on the buses to catch drivers in the act.

Legislators say the push has been prompted by several instances of motorists blowing past the stop signs attached to the buses as children were boarding or exiting the vehicle.

Anyone spotted doing so by the new cameras would be automatically issued a $250 for a first offence and $500 thereafter.

The bill would also remove the possibility of up to 15 days in jail for a first offence, but keep it for all subsequent violations.

The automated system would also not lead to any points being added to the offending drivers’ insurance in contrast to the current manual enforcement.

Assemblyman Sterling Stanley (D-Middlesex) said: “This bill is very important to the safety of our children.

“We’ve seen so many numerous instances back and forth over the years of accidents happening because of irrational drivers just blowing past a stop sign when children are getting on the bus.”

However, the proposal does not enjoy universal support, with Sen. Declan O’Scanlon (R-Monmouth) commenting: “We’ve all been in that dilemma zone when you’re right near a bus as it’s stopping.

“You proceed with caution.

“That’s perfectly reasonable, and if you’re passing a school bus in a situation like that where now you wouldn’t get a ticket because it’s reasonable, you would get a ticket under this system.”

While officials might take account of such a scenario on a case-by-case basis the best way to avoid a fine would be to follow the letter of the law.

For traffic on the same side of the road as the bus, that means stopping at least 25ft away while children get on and off.

Those travelling in the opposite direction can pass by legally, but are required to slow to 10mph until the bus pulls away.

It comes after a homeowner in Ohio was left fuming when he was hit with a $50 fine for parking outside his own property.
