Whell what a load of CRAP that was. This has to be the worst storyline in the history of soap. Its on a par with The cardboard funfair, the Return of Den and Kidneygate. It really is sh!te. Tracyluv was not even a decent actress when she left the cobbles. Im sure she hasnt improved.WTF is the point of ruining a good programme to bring a useless character back.
I actually think shes worse than before to be honest.
I agree, I tthouught it was quite awful tonight, to say the least, storyline and acting from Ms Ford
The best bits were the reading of the will, and Graeme and Tina in the flat.
The producer/writers need to changed again, because this storyline is just stuipd. Tracey frames Gail for murder, why are they treating there viewers like idiots.
Gail's shortbread story wasn't contrived at all, was it? :thumbsdow
DAVID Platt goes berserk after discovering Tracy Barlow has helped police frame his mum for murder.
The lad has to be held back as he tries to launch a brick through the Barlows’ front window moments after discovering Gail (Helen Worth, 59) looks set to be jailed for a crime she did not commit.
Fans have seen Tracy (Kate Ford, 32) agree to get a “confession” from Gail in return for moving to an open prison so she can see more of her daughter.
David (Jack P Shepherd, 22) has been trying to free his mum and the latest twist proves too much for him.
I know its a soap , well can corrie be called a soap in the sense of Eastenders Emmerdale River City , its more a comic half hour. Done for the cold blooded murder of her boyfriend and jailed for 20 odd years, 2 years down the line they will move her to an open prison for getting the goods on Gail. Ripped apart in court , at the funeral the prison warders would have kept her well back from everyone , but no she DRAGS them to get at Becky , get real. Now as the story goes she is out for the 50th year show(s) that means Gail is found gulity, if not that means the court felt that she was lying to get moved to an open prison and would be sent back to prison. So Gail says NOT GUILTY and sent down awaiting trial , pleads the same I take it at trial but along comes Tracey and tells the court of yes she told me she did it.. I give up.
In the last 25 years or so , you'd be lucky if anyone has escaped from an non open Prison , but Tony Gordon will ...
But it is make-believe, ok, not too realistic this storyline but I think the scriptwriters do exaggerate certain bits to make it drama tv, not a documentary
Coronation Street star Helen Worth has revealed that she was keen to see Gail McIntyre escape a prison sentence when she filmed the character's trial scenes.
Next week, the actress's alter ego will take the stand in court in a bid to defend herself against accusations that she killed husband Joe. As viewers already know, Gail is not guilty of the charge.
Speaking to All About Soap about the tension-filled episodes, Worth confirmed that she wanted "justice to prevail" for the sake of her character.
She continued: "But we've filmed two different outcomes of the trial, just to keep the audience guessing. I hope viewers will be on the edge of their seats until the foreman of the jury stands up to deliver Gail's fate!"
Asked how Gail would cope with a long stint behind bars, Worth replied: "It would crush her at first, but she's such a strong character that I'm sure she would adjust in time.
"Whatever happens, though, there's plenty more drama in store for the Platt family - whether Gail's in prison or not. Don't expect a happy ending just yet."
