Coronation Street's Gail Platt, portrayed by Helen Worth, could be in for a shock in the upcoming episodes.
Fans will bid farewell to Gail this Christmas as Helen Worth is set to exit the beloved ITV soap after an impressive 50-year stint. However, her character's departure appears to be anything but peaceful.
As Gail gears up to tie the knot with Jesse Chadwick and start afresh in France, she remains blissfully ignorant of the complex web of lies and deceit spun by her own family that could potentially ruin her Christmas Day wedding.
In future spoilers, it's revealed that a weary and upset Gail falls asleep on the sofa before receiving an unexpected visitor. Will they assist her in making a decision?
According to reports in the Mirror, it's speculated that her murderous ex Richard Hillman makes a shocking return for the episodes after 21 years.
With rumours circulating that actor Brian Capron is set to reprise his role after all these years, what has the actor been doing since leaving the ITV soap?
Soap fans will recall that Richard was last seen on the cobbles in 2003, where he met his demise in a dramatic stunt while trying to murder Gail and her family by driving a car into the canal. Since departing Weatherfield, actor Brian, 77, has taken on a range of television roles.

In his personal life, Brian enjoys marital bliss with Jacqueline Bucknell since 2003. Reflecting on his fame, Brian told the Daily Star about the enduring legacy of his Coronation Street character.
He said, "It's wonderful to still get recognised after all these years. I was at an airport in Majorca and this guy just walks past and says 'murderer' under his breath."
He added, "There will be others who will shout across the street or those who are genuinely taken aback when they realise it's the Street's serial killer Richard Hillman on their train or in the same restaurant as them. It always makes me laugh."
