One person said: “#Corrie calling it. Gail will die at the hands of Joel. Bethany is already suspicious of Joel. He will go to attack Bethany but will end up killing Gail instead, whether on purpose or incidentally”, a different account put: “I suppose this Joel storyline is going to run until Christmas where he’ll kill off Gail #Corrie”, another wrote: “It’s only occurred to me when watching #Corrie tonight that Joel will probs have something to do with Gail’s exit” while a different viewer added: “I reckon Bethany tells Gail and Gail gets taken out in a fight to the death with Joel.”

Speaking of her decision to bow out, 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. 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.”
