A Coronation Street icon has signed a new deal to keep her on the cobbles for another year.
Actress Helen Worth, 72, has put pen to paper and signed a new 12-month deal that will mark her 50th year on the cobbles, according to The Mirror.
She has appeared in 4,206 episodes since her arrival as Gail in 1974.
Gail has been married six times and been at the centre of some of Corrie’s biggest ever plots.
Her daughter Sarah Louise was the first teen pregnancy on the cobbles.
And her third husband Richard Hillman was the soap’s most iconic villain, killing three people before dying himself.
Her first – and second – husband Brian Tilsley was knifed to death in a hard-hitting plot.
Third time didn’t prove to be the charm when Martin Platt cheated on her.

Joe McIntyre died while trying to fake his own death and Michael Rodwell ended up murdered by serial killer Pat Phelan.
Helen is the second most prolific Corrie star behind original cast member Bill Roache.
It was also recently reported that Bill had signed a new deal.
