Poor Violet. Any chance her and Jamie will get back together since Frankie leaves on New Year's Eve/Day. I hope they do i thought they were a great couple. I hope she finds some happiness because between Jason and Jamie she is having awful look.

Jenny Platt has been brilliant over the past week or so.

Very enjoyable to watch, just a massive shame that it is tied in with the dreadful 'Framie Baldwin' rubbish.

I thought they were going to do a storyline where Violet gave the baby to Sean and his partner. There was an article a while back in the paper.

It's sad that this is happening.

I read in soaplife that they wont get back together. It says that Jamie goes to the hospital, expecting to find them trying to save his babys' life, but finds them trying to save Violets'.

Also, on the morning of new years' eve, Violet complains of a pain in the shoulder, which turns out to be due to the build up of blood, because her fallopian tube bursts. Nice to see a well researched storyline.

I felt so sorry for Violet when she lost her baby! :( I think what your saying is a possibility actually. It may seem like a mad plot, but i think it would be fantastic and represent what Violet is really going through.

A similar storyline happened ages ago...i only remember it vaguely but it involved a woman called Alison, i think she was with Kevin? And she kidnapped someone's baby. Kevin tracked her down, she gave the baby back before running into the road and getting knocked down by a lorry.

CORONATION Street beauty Jenny Platt is sensationally quitting the TV soap, The People can reveal.

The stunning actress, who plays barmaid Violet Wilson, is one of the ITV soap's most popular characters.

But after three successful years, she took the "agonising" decision because she fears there is "nowhere for her character to go".

Asource close to 27-year-old Jenny said: "It has been a really hard choice because she has loved every minute of her time on Corrie.

"Jenny will be very sad to leave and she has spent a long time agonising over whether to stay.

"But nowshe feels there isn't really anywhere left for her character to go.


"She's loved playing Violet but doesn't see how the writers can develop her storylines any further.


"Jenny has made it known she has other acting plans that she wants to pursue after Corrie."


Violet has had a string of failed romances but thought she'd found the real thing when she moved in with Jamie Baldwin (Rupert Hill).


But that ended in heartbreak because he was in love with his step-mum Frankie (Debra Stephenson). Shocked Violet then found out she was pregnant - only to lose the baby.


Jenny plans to quit when her contract runs out next March. Our source said: "Hopefully she'll be in for a bit of happiness before she leaves."

Must be something in the air at the moment.

I agree unfortunately Violet has nowhere to go really and there isn't really a love interest on the street for her anymore, shame I quite like her.

Footie_Chick
25-02-2007, 12:59
Well it says next March so she'll still be in for another year.
There isn't really anywhere else she could go but i hope she is still used up until then and not just for scenes in the Rovers.

I thought she was very good when she first joined, and brought out the best in Jason. Since Corrie split them up, Violet has fallen by the wayside. Pairing her up with Jamie the dullard and neglecting her was a big mistake, and with the Rovers now overloaded with staff, sadly this news was coming.

Good luck to Jenny Platt. She's a good actress. :)

From DS

Coronation Street today denied that barmaid Violet Wilson will be leaving Weatherfield in the summer.

They discounted a suggestion in a Sunday newspaper that 27-year-old actress Jenny Platt would be quitting later this year, having had enough of the hassle that soap fame has allegedly brought her.

Jenny blames her time with the Street for the breakdown of her marriage after only seven months to actor Oliver Ford. Co-star Rupert Hill, who plays Jamie Baldwin, also split from girlfriend Angela Hazeldine at the same time.

A spokesperson for Corrie told DS today: "Jenny has recently signed a new contract with Coronation Street which taken her through to March next year and producers are already working on big storylines for Violet."

A source added: "Even though Jenny’s signed for another year, she has indicated that it may be her last. But there’s plenty of time between now and then for her to change her mind."

Speaking to a Sunday tabloid, a friend of the actress said: "The pressure of producing five episodes of Corrie a week didn’t help her marriage.

"Jenny found the break-up very painful and she will always associate the stresses of that break-up with her role as Violet.

"Now she hates all the attention her close relationship with Rupert gets. She just wants to make a clean break from Corrie and try other things."

interesting. one thing that they could do with Violet which i'm always interested why they haven't, is to explain to us what exactly went on with her family and why she never sees or speaks to any of them.

Hiya guys :) Hope you're all good - got some fun stuff on ITV.com to tell you about in a couple of different threads...

The first is news that Violet and Jamie are now in the departure lounge live on itv.com/soap...

Will anyone miss them? How could they do that to poor Sean? There is also a poll for their best bits - so get voting :D

CrazyLea
28-02-2008, 17:34
I'll miss them. But not. If that makes sense. I did like them both loads before this baby stuff. I reckon they're being totally harsh on Sean! He is biologically the father, whether they like it or not!

The same here, they wre a lovely couple but the bay issue has turned them both in selfish individuals. They are breaking Seans heart when they leave without a forwarding address :mad: I would like it if the scriptwriters could let Sean get a phone call or text from Violet and that he visits his son ever so often when they want him to go away for a while.

Thank god they did a runner , sean was getting on my wick. I could be wrong but I am sure instead of Violet waiting for a baby he said he would do it ! No strings , but then IT's MY BABY! agggrh ... Never were a couple , never going to be a couple , it was a fast track so Vi could get a baby. He was never to be the FATHER.

Exactly!!!

He was supposed to be in the babies life but not as the dad just a friend/uncle kinda thing. If he hadnt tried taking over they would never have left. I mean getting her apartment cleaned... how insulting is that.:angry:

Cant beleive that Marcus told Sean about Violet cancelling her appointments. Surely he can get done through the confidentiality laws. He isnt supposed to tell anyone else about her appointments even if Sean is the boilogical father.

Jenny Platt could once again reprise her role as Coronation Street's Violet Wilson.

The actress recently returned to the ITV1 soap in the Easter special as Sean Tully (Antony Cotton) visited London to meet his son Dylan.

The one-off appearance saw Violet split from boyfriend Jamie Baldwin, played by the actress's real-life partner Rupert Hill. Speaking to the Sunday Mercury, Hill revealed that the story could continue on screen for Platt.

"It's on the cards for Jen to do more episodes," he teased, appearing to rule himself out of a future return.

While unconfirmed, any possible future appearances from Violet could tie into reports that Sean will start raising his 4-year-old son himself.

Hill, who has a 1-year-old daughter with Platt, is currently appearing in Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors at Stafford Castle alongside former Corrie co-star Eric Potts (Diggory Compton).

"Jen has warned me that he is renowned for trying to get other actors to 'corpse' or burst out laughing during the performance. I'm a bit worried about that," he told the paper.

Looks like it!

It all seems so gratuitous. Violet and Jamie breaking up when they're not even in the programme, just like Sonia and Martin in Eastenders. It's as if the scriptwriters can't conceive of any relationship lasting more than a year or so. Perhaps it reveals what happens in their lives...? :hmm:

That is what I was thinking of when I read about Violet's possible return. If they can't get the actor who played Jamie to come back, use a different actor or leave well alone, sick to death with all the relationships in soaps not lasting longer than 2 minutes :(

Hi first post here :)

I really hope she will someday.

She was one of my favourite characters on the show and the actress (Jenny platt i think it was) was brilliant. When she left first time round i thought she was just having a break or something, but she hasn't been back since i don't think. I thought she would come back in a kinda shock twist with her son at some point, maybe when Sean was homeless to save him or save Eileen when she nearly got killed by that Phelan bloke but she never did.

i hope they bring her back at some point with her son and that sister she had (I think she had a sister) She's still got links to the street too. Sean, Eileen, Ken, Michelle, Fiz, etc.

She's been away so long they could do anything with her now. Just please not a personality transplant, she was really nice so i would hate for them to turn her into a bitch. And a Violet return would give Sean a reason for still being on the programme, he's like a spare part nowadays!

If I was in charge of corrie and bringing old characters back Violet would be top of my wish list definitely! I don't really see no reason she couldn't come back, I'm sure the actress has said she would come back.

There's a lot of things they could do with her if she comes back:

1) she could be hiding a secret (not sure what)
2) if she is on her own she could be struggling with being a single mum- maybe they could show this
3) have it turn out her kid is a violent little **** who beats her up (this could prove what a good actress she is and really give her a chance to shine) not sure the son is old enough though
4) give her a new or old bloke. i could see her going for Peter barlow maybe, or if they bring Jason back get him back together with Violet again
5) she realises shes bisexual (I swear she was gonna be a lesbian when she first came into it)
6) explore that student teacher relationship with Ken- okay hear me out here please. Anything seems possible in soaps nowadays, I wouldn't put anything past soap anymore. Soaps like to be as controversial as possible and they like to copy each other. A Ken and Violet affair would be going one better than Eastenders, since he is old enough to be her grandad and she is his ex student. The reaction to it would be hilarious, and Ken could prove he's still got it :P
7) new friendship with Sinead or Toyah or someone

If she comes back though I think they would maybe ruin her. She would probably be changed completely into a bitchy slut who has like 4 kids all to different dads. They have a habit of ruining characters don't they :(

Anyway, what do you reckon? Do you think they'll ever bring her back, would you like to see her back? :)

Coronation Street bosses have announced that Jenny Platt is returning to the show as Dylan Wilson's mum, Violet.

Violet is heading back to Weatherfield next month in the aftermath of the school bullying storyline involving Dylan, Liam Connor and Mason Radcliffe.

Dylan's mum turns up to support him after he's finally caught out for his role in the horrific bullying of Liam.

Next week's episodes see Dylan's dad, Sean Tully, discover the truth about the teenager's behaviour, which marks the beginning of a new chapter in the storyline.

A Coronation Street statement confirmed: "In the coming months, Dylan will be facing the serious repercussions of his actions and will be needing the support of both his parents."

Speaking to Digital Spy and other press shortly before Jenny started filming again, Antony Cotton ? who plays Sean ? added: "We'll be filming with Jenny for a month. She's not coming back permanently, but she's coming back. We do often talk about Violet, and Sean off-screen goes down and stays with them.

"I'm very excited to see my mate Jenny, and also to see Violet. I've kept in touch with her throughout, and I just hope that she's not nervous because she doesn?t need to be.

"I imagine she will be because it's a completely different set-up. We shoot more episodes and content. When Jenny was there, the internet barely existed, isn't that mad? So much has changed in 16 years."

He continued: "We film for four weeks, she's probably in a dozen episodes and then, who knows? This storyline is going to go on, so as long as it goes well and she enjoys it, then I'm hoping we might see her again.

"If there's more of this stuff and it gets more serious, one would imagine that we would perhaps see Violet again."

Jenny played the role of Violet between 2004 and 2008. She returned for a one-off episode set in London in 2011.

The show airs Violet's return episode on Wednesday, March 20.
