Sean Wilson Spotted Looking Downcast Near Corrie Set
Sean Wilson looked upset after being photographed for the first time since his sudden soap exit. Earlier this year, the actor was supposed to return for Helen Worth’s departure. But ITV execs called him into a meeting last month and suddenly axed him.
The soap star was strolling down Blue in a green jacket and a trilby hat, keeping things casual. He also sported stylish shades, a grey hat, jeans, and brown shoes, completing his autumn look. At 59, he stayed low-key as he walked next to his girlfriend, Carol Hammond, just meters from the Corrie set.
A source mentioned that legal matters were involved because senior soap executives were prohibited from discussing the situation. Sean later broke his silence by expressing gratitude to his fans on social media. He posted a picture of a light-up ‘love’ sign with a message thanking his supporters.
Fans expressed their support, with one person sharing their disappointment about Martin not returning for Gail’s farewell storyline. Another fan also expressed their disappointment but hoped Sean was alright. A third fan remarked, “Gail deserves a better ending than the one she’s going to get now.”
