Today (Wednesday, July 24), Coronation Street announced that Sean Wilson will be reprising his role of Martin Platt ahead of Helen Worth’s soap exit.
Martin – the ex-husband of Gail Platt – will be returning to the cobbles later this year.
But, after this huge return news, here are five huge theories as to what really brings him back to Weatherfield.
1. Gail dying
One fan theory suggests that Martin may return to see his ex-wife Gail before she passes away. With Gail’s exit scenes set to air later this year, could Gail be about to meet her maker?
One fan had multiple suggestions but shared: “He takes her back to Oz is the only thing other than her dying? And if she were to ever die then I want all of her husbands in a glorious heavenly montage with Richard awaiting her at the end like the grim reaper.”
It’s fair to say that if Corrie kills of our Gail, we’ll be needing to stock up on those tissues!
2. Support for David
One fan theory also reckons that Gail may die. Instead of turning up before Gail pegs it though, one fan thinks that Martin will return after her exit to provide support to his son, David.
The fan theory reads: “”
