Coronation Street's producer Iain MacLeod has spoken about Gail Rodwell's return to the cobbles, revealing that original plans for her comeback were changed.

Gail heads back home and walks straight into trouble next Friday (October 25), intervening as her granddaughter Bethany Platt faces a fierce backlash on the cobbles.

Next week's episodes see Bethany (Lucy Fallon) share a scandalous kiss with Daniel Osbourne, who's struggling with his wife Sinead's terminal illness. When word of their betrayal spreads, Bethany gets a frosty reception from the likes of Tracy Barlow and Sally Metcalfe.

Gail (Helen Worth) reappears just in time to break up the row and defend Bethany. Once she catches up on recent events, Gail gives Bethany some wise advice – revealing a whole new zen-like attitude after her time abroad.

Speaking to Digital Spy and other media at a Coronation Street press event on Monday (October 14), MacLeod was asked what has happened to Gail to spark such a change in her outlook.

He laughed: "Less has happened to her than had originally happened in some versions of the story, where she came back fully meditative and doing yogic flying and the like!

"She's still the Gail that viewers will recognise, but she's a little more grounded and more mother earth.

"I found the scenes coming up between Gail and Bethany really moving, actually. She's still the Gail we know and love, but there might be a few more harem pants in her wardrobe and a few more coiffure choices."

Asked whether Gail has been enjoying a holiday romance, MacLeod replied: "No. There was originally a story on the table where she did, but we moved away from that in the end, just because we don't want Gail to get together with another serial killer! And if we were going to do it, we'd want to do it on screen rather than off screen!

"So no, she hasn't. She's just had a zen-like epiphany. But it won't turn into a pastiche of a hippy lifestyle – she's still Gail."

Gail's return scenes air as part of a heartbreaking hour-long episode, featuring the death of Sinead.

This has nothing to do with the storyline but I wish they would give Gail a haircut. The style that she has now does not suit her and nearly hides her face.

Don't know about her hair, but have you seen the colour of her living room chair, it's minging!!
They really need a big clean, maybe she has bad eyesight and can't see her hair is a mess or the state of the house 👩*🦯
