Coronation Street's Sean Wilson breaks his silence after being abruptly axed from the show due to a 'concern being raised to bosses'


The soap star, 59, was sacked through his planned comeback after a concern was raised about him to show bosses, MailOnline revealed previously.

A senior soap source explained: 'What is really odd, is that they had started filming most of the scenes, obviously with other cast members and lots of crew on set, and everyone was expecting to shoot more with Sean before he left again as part of the Gail Platt exit storyline. Sean played Martin for 20 years 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. As his puzzling departure remains a mystery, longtime fans will recall how at one time Sean said he'll never set foot on the cobbles again, after quitting in 2005 over a storyline which involved his character Martin seducing an underage girl.
