Why is Jesse back in Coronation Street as Eileen and Audrey despair over Gail?

As a long-time Coronation Street viewer who has witnessed more than my fair share of Gail Rodwell’s romantic entanglements, I can’t help but feel a sense of deja vu with Jesse Chadwick’s return. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good soap opera twist as much as the next guy, but Gail’s track record isn’t exactly spotless.


In tonight’s Coronation Street (October 9, 2024), Jesse Chadwick, portrayed by John Thomson, reappeared, sparking curiosity among viewers about the true nature of his motives, as they seem less than sincere.

Meanwhile on the ITV soap, Gail Rodwell (played by Helen Worth) anxiously anticipated the return of her sick granddaughter Bethany Platt (portrayed by Lucy Fallon), who was in Turkey.

Gail was seen on the phone, urging someone not to visit as her family wouldn’t understand.

While at the hospital, a concerned Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) looked on as Bethany was pushed into the facility by someone, and this action was interrupted by mum Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls).

Due to her sepsis, she was put on antibiotics under the care of the staff who took charge of her treatment. Afterward, Gail was able to visit, and in a comforting tone, assured Bethany not to be concerned about the loan Gail had borrowed for Bethany’s trip home.

As I stood there, my heart pounding, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger when I spotted Eileen Grimshaw’s ex, Jesse, driving onto the cobbles. Gail, on the other hand, was taken aback when he revealed that his sudden appearance was due to his concern for her well-being.

 

Later on, it was disclosed that Gail and Jesse had been long-standing companions, having first crossed paths in Thailand some time back. Subsequently, Jesse was invited into the Platt residence for a friendly conversation.

Jesse explained that Gail’s “radio silence” had led to him making the journey to Weatherfield.

After learning about Jesse’s past relationship with Katy Cavanagh (Julie), who is Eileen’s sister, Audrey showed up to talk things out with Gail and Jesse, following a disagreement with Eileen from back in 2010.

Jesse maintained that he had transformed himself, while he and Gail shared stories about their romantic vacation, emphasizing that they were simply close friends now, as it turned out that Gail was actually meeting up with Jesse instead of attending her life drawing sessions.

Audrey playfully mocked the tale they were sharing with Gail, hinting at Gail’s complex romantic past by saying she often felt a “foreboding sensation” multiple times, and more straightforwardly mentioned that Gail seemed to excel in “complete catastrophes.

As I sat down at The Rovers Return, I just couldn’t help but share my thoughts with Sarah and David. I told them that, from where I stand as a movie-loving observer, it seems like our dear friend Gail is on the verge of yet another calamity – her umpteenth disaster, if you will!

It appears that Jesse’s authenticity is being questioned. Could it be that Audrey and Eileen are justified in their vocal opinions? Since the renowned Coronation Street actress Helen Worth is preparing to depart from her iconic role, will Gail decide to embark on a fresh journey with Jesse instead?
