Jesse Chadwick returned to the cobbles tonight (Wednesday, October 9), as part of Gail Platt’s exit storyline. However, he wasn’t originally lined up to return. Instead, Sean Wilson was originally planned to be returning as Martin Platt on Coronation Street.
Sean Wilson stepped down from Coronation Street ahead of his return due to “personal reasons”, ITV announced.
The actor was due to make a return to the ITV soap to reprise his role as Martin Platt ahead of Helen Worth’s soap exit.
However, ITV then issued a statement to confirm that Sean would no longer make a return.

Sean was reportedly due to make a return to the cobbles in October. Martin is the ex-husband of Gail Platt.
The Sun claims that Sean was “suddenly summoned” to the head office before his exit.
A source reportedly said: “It has come as a complete and utter shock to everyone – and his sudden exit has rocked everyone involved with Corrie. Sean was loving his time on the show, and he was very popular on set.
