Coronation Street to bring back former character amid Sean Wilson exit

Coronation Street to bring back former character amid Sean Wilson exit

As a long-time Corrie fan who’s seen more Weatherfield winters than I care to remember, I must admit the return of Jesse Chadwick has me all a-flutter! It seems like just yesterday when he was causing a stir with Eileen Grimshaw and her family.


As a devoted fan, I’m intrigued by the buzz surrounding potential new cast members for Coronation Street, following the announcement of Sean Wilson’s departure. The anticipation is palpable!

Previously, it was verified that Wilson would reprise his role as Martin Platt in the soap opera. This is timed with Helen Worth’s character, Gail Platt, exiting the show.

Over the weekend, it was confirmed through an ITV representative that Wilson resigned due to personal matters.

As a devoted cinephile, I must confess that while I’ve spotted Martin around the film sets recently with script in hand, it seems unlikely that we’ll see him back on the streets of Weatherfield any time soon – not for now, at least.

Yet, after the unexpected departure, it appears that Corrie viewers might be experiencing a trip down memory lane instead.

According to The Sun’s report, John Thomson, known for his roles in Cold Feet and The Fast Show, is set to take over the part previously played by Wilson, by stepping back into his character Jesse Chadwick.

Indeed, Thompson was prominently featured in Coronation Street from 2008 to 2010, playing the ex-suitor of Eileen Grimshaw, portrayed by Sue Cleaver. However, their relationship took a turn for the worse when he made advances towards her sister, Julie, played by Katy Cavanagh, ultimately leading to his expulsion from Eileen’s life.

As a film enthusiast, I can hardly contain my excitement for the return of Jesse! This could very well reignite the undercurrents of tension between Eileen and Gail, but the specifics of Jesse’s role and how it intertwines with Gail remain a mystery. I guess we’ll have to keep our eyes glued to the screen to find out!

Although it’s still unclear how Jesse’s tale and Gail’s departure will intertwine at this point, we are certain that Thomson, who became a beloved character upon his arrival long ago, will bring humor and excitement when he returns to the soap opera. So, brace yourselves for some entertaining reappearances and intriguing plotlines ahead!
