“Coronation Street Star Sean Wilson’s Secret Split from Long-Term Girlfriend Revealed Before Shocking Departure from the Show”
Sean Wilson, a Coronation Street performer, quietly ended his relationship with his long-term partner prior to his shocking termination from the program.
The actress Suzie Fenwick and the 59-year-old soap star started dating in 2016, although a source claims they broke up in secret a few years prior.
After his 16-year marriage to his wife Gaynor ended in 2013, the two started dating.
Sean and Susie’s romance ended a few years ago, an insider informed The Sun.
“They had a great relationship for the many years they were together, and there was no bad blood.”
Suzie has acted in the 1993 film Aspects Of Love, as well as performing for years on the West End.
It comes after Sean suddenly departed the soap, forcing bosses to reportedly scrap Martin Platt’s return storyline.
The actor was set to reprise his role as Martin Platt in October as part of his ex-wife Gail’s exit, but according to sources, his entire story has now been ditched.
According to The Sun, Sean’s exit came as a huge shock, with the cast unaware of the reason behind his departure.
A representative for the soap stated that the actor left ‘for personal reasons,’ and none of Sean’s scenes will be aired, with Gail’s entire exit storyline now being frantically rewritten by bosses.
Sean had returned to Corrie in July to film his first scenes, and had already recorded episodes with a large number of stars in the soap.
A source said: ‘It has come as a complete and utter shock to everyone – and his Âsudden exit has rocked everyone involved with Corrie. Sean was loving his time on the show, and he was very popular on set.
‘He had filmed scenes with loads of the cast, but then suddenly he was summoned to head office, and later it filtered out he wouldn’t be returning or his scenes airing, but no explanation offered.
‘Clearly it’s a major blow for bosses who must now find a new magical and happy ending for Helen – but they are confident they’ll pull it out of the bag, and give viewers something wonderful.’
An ITV spokesperson told MailOnline: ‘Sean Wilson has stepped down from filming for personal reasons.’
Sean’s agent told the publication: ‘Neither he nor I will be making any further comment or statement.’
In July, it was confirmed that Sean would be reprising his role as Martin Platt, as part of Gail’s exit after 50 years on the cobbles.
As Sean picked up his first scripts to start shooting, he said: ‘It was great to be invited back to Coronation Street again, to contribute to Helen’s exit story.
‘We’ll have a few months to catch up with Martin and Gail again, following the ebbs and flows of the unfolding storyline.
‘Playing Martin has been a joy since day one and in a way, I’ll be slipping back to where I left off, which no doubt will throw a spanner into the heart of the Platt family.
‘It’s just like slipping on an old and comfortable jumper from the back of the wardrobe… I’m looking forward to reuniting with my TV family.’
Sean played Martin for 20 years from 1985 to 2005, before he and his family emigrated to New Zealand in 2018 and he paid one final visit to Weatherfield before his departure to make his peace with David, who was upset that his dad was leaving the country.
According to, Gail was all set to have a happy ending after all, rekindling her romance with Martin and sailing off into the sunset.
A source told: ‘A number of options were considered for Gail’s departure from the cobbles but bosses knew the moment needed to truly celebrate one of Corrie’s most iconic characters as well as honour Helen’s astonishing run on the soap.’
‘It just didn’t sit right to kill her off or have Gail suffer more tragedy after, let’s face it, a pretty traumatic life.
‘Martin was always considered the one that got away and bosses are thrilled they’ve been able to tempt Sean back to wave Gail goodbye.’
The source also revealed viewers should expect to see ‘many twists and turns’ but the scriptwriters want Gail’s story to end with a happy ending.
It comes after Helen quit her role on the cobbles after successfully playing the character for 50 years from 1974.Â
The news devastated fans across the UK and some took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to speculate how her character’s storyline will end.
ITV confirmed that she will start filming her exit story next month and the ’emotional’ scenes will be on screen at the end of the year.
Sharing the news of her exit, Helen said: ‘This year felt like the perfect time to leave the show after celebrating 50 years in the most wonderful job on the most wonderful street in the world.’
‘I made the decision at the start of the year and spoke to the producers who were very kind and understanding.’
‘I have been truly blessed to have been given the most incredible scripts week in week out, and to have worked with fantastic actors, directors and a brilliant crew.’
‘The past 50 years have flown by and I don’t think the fact that I am leaving has quite sunk in yet.’
Thankfully, Helen hasn’t had quite a dramatic life as her character, and once admitted she would ‘be in a mental institution’ if her life was like Gail’s.
She added: ‘I come home and see friends and go to the theatre. Luckily I find it quite easy to switch off – I’d be a nervous wreck if I didn’t.’

ITV Coronation Street: Rowan’s Exit ‘Confirmed’ as Icon ‘Takes Down’ Sinister Institute
Watchers of Coronation Street are certain that Rowan Cunliffe’s (Emmerys Cooper) time in Weatherfield is running out.
Supporters of Coronation Street are confident that Emrhys Cooper’s character Rowan Cunliffe is going to leave Weatherfield because Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) is expected to uncover the truth about The Institute. The head of this wellness “cult,” Rowan, has been trying to con Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney) into giving him money by saying it will be a beneficial investment in a new resource center.
The self-help group has already ensnared Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) causing friction in her relationship with Nick Tilsley (Ben Price).
However, in Friday’s episode of the ITV soap (August 23), Rowan persuaded Amy to leave her job at the bistro, much to Nick’s annoyance.
Rowan craftily suggested to Amy that she could make a substantial amount of money by investing in The Institute instead of working in a menial job.
Amy had previously considered using the inheritance she received from her grandmother Deidre Barlow (Anne Kirkbride) for this purpose.
Luckily, her friend Aadi Alahan (Adam Hussain) convinced her not to risk all her savings and to question Rowan further about how she would recover her investment and any potential profit.
Despite Aadi’s cautionary advice, Amy continued to trust in Leanne’s judgement.
However, upcoming scenes show Rowan persisting with his scheme to take Amy’s money.
In episodes airing next week, Leanne confronts Rowan who tells her that Amy is undergoing an ‘upload’ and is also reconsidering investing in the resource centre, reports..
Leanne gets a shock during Amy’s upload session when she realises Rowan is covertly recording their conversation as she talks about past traumas.
Amy Barlow’s intention to discuss investing her inheritance doesn’t win the support of her grandfather Ken Barlow (William Roache), while The Institute meddles too far with Amy, igniting the wrath of her feisty mother Tracy McDonald (Kate Ford).
Corrie fans are now buzzing with anticipation that Tracy may be the one to bring about Rowan’s downfall.
Fans have taken to social media to express their eagerness for Tracy’s retribution. One viewer posted: “Tracy’s gonna upload her boot up Rowan’s a*** and kick him out of the street #Corrie.”
Another eagerly awaits the showdown: “Cannot wait for the Tracy v Rowan battle. Tracy will tear him to shreds. #corrie”, while another suggests: “Tracy is gonna destroy Rowan. She’s dealt with much worse than him. And killed them #Corrie.”
Further comments foresee violence: “Can’t wait when Tracy knows about Rowan. Hope she punches him one #corrie”, and others recall past altercations: “Hope Tracy sorts out Rowan like she did with Charlie. #Corrie.”
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX

Coronation Street’s 65th Anniversary Unveiled with Major Comeback and Hinted Tragedy
Fans of Coronation Street have already begun speculating about what might occur when the soap opera celebrates its 65th anniversary in December 2025. Some fans have called for a significant comeback and a mass murder on the cobbles.
Fans of Coronation Street have already begun to speculate about how the ITV soap opera will commemorate reaching its 65th anniversary next year.
Viewers are already aware that managers celebrate significant holidays with gusto. The plot of Corrie’s 60th anniversary episode in 2020 focused on Ray Crosby’s plans to demolish most of the street and Yasmeen Metcalfe’s outcome during her trial for attempting to kill her violent husband Geoff Metcalfe.
It was the first anniversary special in the 21st Century not to feature a live episode, which was a tradition that started with the 40th Anniversary Live Special back in 2000. Plans for the upcoming anniversary are yet to be revealed but it hasn’t stopped avid fans of the show to start predicting what might happen as Corrie turns 65.
Fans will remember the live episode to mark Corrie’s 50th anniversary back in December 2010, which featured a tram crash resulting in the deaths of Ashley Peacock (Steven Arnold), Molly Dobbs (Vicky Binns) and an unnamed taxi driver.
Taking to Reddit, one user predicted that bosses will plan a similar tram crash that will “kill off” huge characters.
Corrie enthusiasts have been sharing their wild wishes for the soap’s 65th anniversary, with one fan suggesting on social media: “Another tram crash in multiple directions that kills off most of the cast.”
Another chimed in with a similarly dark twist: “A good bus crash on a community trip to the lakes – with fatal consequences this time for a number of cast members.”
Killer returne
The theories don’t stop there as viewers are also predicting the return of a notorious character. Despite being killed off in 2018, some fans reckon Pat Phelan could make an earth-shattering return amidst the current Institute group plot.
Lottery win
Not all predictions are doom and gloom though as another Corrie watcher has envisioned a heartwarming Lottery win storyline. They posted: “I would love an ‘At Home With The Braithwaites’ storyline.
Someone on the street wins millions in the lottery and doesn’t tell anyone. They set up a business and/or a charity, anonymously help out friends and family. Something that touches everyone on the street and lasts for months.”
Viewers will have to hold their breath and see if any of the predictions come true when the soap celebrates its major anniversary in December 2025.
Coronation Street is broadcasted every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX

Maureen Lipman Reveals Major Coronation Street Update on Alan Titchmarsh’s ITV Sunday Show
After six years of playing Evelyn Plummer on Coronation Street, Maureen Lipman, a star of the ITV soap opera, has now discussed her plans to leave the show.
Evelyn Plummer from Coronation Street has been illuminating our screens, and actress Maureen Lipman talked about her ongoing journey on the program.
Six years prior, Alan Halsall’s character Tyrone Dobbs explored his family history and found his grandmother Evelyn Plummer, played by Maureen Lipman. Evelyn has been a mainstay of the show ever since, living in the same house as Tyrone, Fiz Stape (Jennie McAlpine), and his kids Ruby (Macy Alabi) and Hope (Isabella Flanagan).
The arrival of Evelyn’s daughter Cassie Plummer (Claire Sweeney), earlier in the year brought fresh intrigue to the formidable elder’s life before she fully settled in at the notorious number nine.
Maureen Lipman, now 78, recently joined Alan Titchmarsh on his show Love Your Weekend With Alan Titchmarsh to reflect on her illustrious career, including her spellbinding stint on Coronation Street.
For everyone who adores Evelyn, breathe a sigh of relief: Lipman has no plans to bow out from the soap opera anytime soon.
In their sit-down, Alan confirmed: “You’ve been signed up to do another year [on Coronation Street].”
To which Lipman affirmed the news: “I have been signed up to do another year, yes.” Emphasising the thrills of the job, she articulated: “It’s good for you, it keeps you on your metal, my goodness me.”
Adding her comment on the never-dulling nature of the industry, she stated: “I mean everything is still completely fascinating to me.”
She went on to express her unending passion for the profession: “I don’t get bored with this business and I don’t suppose you do either”, with Alan concurring: “No, it’s stimulating.”
Evelyn is embroiled in a significant storyline as Tyrone’s former flame, Alina Pop (Ruxandra Porojnicu), returns, revealing she had his son Dorin. However, with the traffickers still on her tail, Alina has requested to leave Dorin temporarily with him and Fiz until the trial concludes.
The question remains, when will it be safe for her to return?
Coronation Street continues every Monday, Wednesday and Friday on ITV and ITVX.
