EastEnders writer sparks concern with worrying tweet about Coronation Street’s Sue Nicholls
It was confirmed that Sue's co-star Helen Worth would be exiting the soap after 50 years
A PROLIFIC soap writer has sparked concern about actress Sue Nicholls following the news that Helen Worth had quit her role of Gail Platt after 50 years.
Daran Little, one of the UK’s leading soap writers has made a very telling comment about Sue and her future on the show as Audrey Roberts.
Audrey is Gail’s mother on the ITV soap opera and fans have been left concerned as to what might happen to her upon Gail’s future.
With Helen due to wave goodbye to the programme at the end of the year, Daran has now speculated that Sue won’t be long behind the door and suggested an exit could be imminent.
The soap expert, who has remained very close with many of the cast, took to Twitter to say: “My gut feeling is Sue won’t want to stay long without Helen. No insider knowledge, just a feeling.”
It sparked fan concern that Coronation Street could be met with two monumental exits as opposed to just one.
Some fans said it would be nice for the pair to leave together whilst others were left heartbroken at the thought of them going for good.
One fan reacted to Daran’s telling message by saying: “Heartbreaking but in a way I think I’d prefer if they left together.
“How do you part the greatest mother-daughter partnership in tv history? Like how do you even begin to write that?”
Someone else added: “I wonder if Audrey will go with her or something will happen to Audrey that makes Gail decide to leave or take Audrey with her and they leave together?”
Whilst a third penned: “Couldn’t cope without Aud!!!”
Daran has had a particularly close relationship with both Helen and Sue and has been sharing photos from the years of friendship.
He first met soap’s dynamic duo when he began writing for the hit ITV show.
Daran first began at Coronation Street in 2000 before leaving ten years later to join BBC rival EastEnders where he remains to this day.
This impressive feat has seen him become the first soap writer to have penned over 100 episodes for each of the shows.
