” He’s returned via Weatherfield to check on Gail, because they’ve stayed in touch via email. He’s heard all about Bethany and he’s very concerned for Gail,” John Thomas told the media. Furthermore, he revealed that his return has been met with a mixed response. Two Platts like him, and two don’t, per Coronation Street Spoilers.

Meanwhile, he pointed out that David and Sarah do not want to give him a chance. There is total mistrust in them from the very beginning. Could they be right in their apprehensions?
