‘It’s A Massive Loss’ Says Jodie Prenger

Soap star Jodie Prenger is really sad about Helen Worth leaving the show. Let us tell you that Helen has played Gail Platt for almost 50 years. According to reports, she will start filming her last scenes next month, and her exit will air later this year. At the TRIC Awards, Jodie shared her feelings about Helen’s departure.

Prenger referred to Worth as lovely, grounded, and embodying everything you would want in a Corrie legend. She shared, “It’s a massive, massive loss, but she’s one of these iconic women who have paved the way for other women to come and surround her.” The actress hopes that they can carry on Helen’s legacy.

Previously, Helen explained that she decided to leave Weatherfield because this year felt like the perfect time after celebrating 50 years. She described her as the ‘most wonderful job on the most wonderful street in the world. The soap icon decided at the beginning of the year and discussed it with the makers.

Helen was grateful for receiving incredible scripts and working with fantastic actors, directors, and a brilliant crew. She said, “The past 50 years have flown by, and I don’t think the fact that I am leaving has sunk in yet.” Meanwhile, Executive Producer Iain Macleod asserted that the words ‘legend’ and ‘icon’ genuinely apply to the star.
