CORONATION Street fans have demanded soap bosses to axe long-standing Platt family member to save Gail from being a 'background character.'<\/p>\n

Gail – played be Helen Worth – was been suspicious of her brother and serial killer Stephen Reid and will be part of the character's demise. <\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

She also played a part in Sarah Platt's affair with Damon Hay. <\/p>\n

In recent weeks, Gail has been seen offering to babysit her grandchildren Max Turner, Lily Platt, Sam Robertson and Harry Platt.<\/p>\n

Other members of the Platt family such as Nick Tilsley, David Platt, Sarah Barlow and Shona Platt have taken the spotlight with their own storylines. <\/p>\n

But Corrie fans think it's time for Gail to be back in the forefront of a new major storyline.<\/p>\n

Taking to a fan forum, one viewer said: "Why has Gail become a background character? She\u2019s becoming almost deadwood, under this current CS team.<\/p>\n

"Helen Worth is a brilliant actress, and Gail really shines when given a strong storyline.<\/p>\n

"I feel like she barely goes out of the house anymore. Just over-involves herself in her kids mini dramas."<\/p>\n

Another fan added:\u00a0"I would like to see her maybe have a fling with a younger man (David\u2019s age, perhaps).<\/p>\n

A third suggested: "David being gone would be good for Gail as "Demon David" is a key part of why Gail's modern personality is the way that it is.<\/p>\n

"It would also force her to step up as the head of the Platt Household. <\/p>\n

"Bring David back when Lily is in her late teens and you instantly have drama from him being estranged from her for years and that instantly creates a fresh new direction for the character." <\/p>\n

Helen is the second longest-running star on the show and about to mark her 50th anniversary on the cobbles.<\/p>\n

She started on the show back in 1974 and her contributions to the soap earned her\u00a0an MBE in the Queen's Honours last year.<\/p>\n

Only William Roache has been on the show longer, playing Ken Barlow since it was first broadcast on 9 December 1960.<\/p>\n

Since her first appearance, Gail has been in-and-out of six marriages \u2013 each one more disastrous than the last with every husband either dying or cheating – or being a serial killer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her arrival on the soap marked a dynasty, with the Platt family's place on the Street becoming a fundamental part of the show.\u00a0<\/p>\n
