Coronation Street star Sean Wilson is 'suddenly AXED from the soap with bosses forced to scrap his scenes weeks after he returned to filming - throwing Gail Platt's exit into chaos'
Coronation Street star Sean Wilson has suddenly departed the soap, forcing bosses to scrap Martin Platt's return storyline.
A representative for the soap stated that the actor left 'for personal reasons,' and none of Sean's scenes will be aired, with Gail's entire exit storyline now being frantically rewritten by bosses. Sean played Martin for 20 years from 1985 to 2005, before he and his family emigrated to New Zealand in 2018 and he paid one final visit to Weatherfield before his departure to make his peace with David, who was upset that his dad was leaving the country. A source told The Sun: 'A number of options were considered for Gail's departure from the cobbles but bosses knew the moment needed to truly celebrate one of Corrie's most iconic characters as well as honour Helen's astonishing run on the soap.'
