Sean Wilson played Martin Platt
Sean Wilson played Martin Platt in Coronation Street for over 20 years.
Martin married Gail and is dad to David Platt. On-screen Martin lives in Liverpool and hasn't been killed off. David sometimes goes to stay with his dad, so there's always the chance that Martin could make a return, although it may have to be with another actor, as Sean Wilson seems to be a very busy chap these days away from acting.
After leaving Coronation Street, Sean appeared on TV in Doctors, The Royal, Waterloo Road, Casualty and Silent Witness.
After a year working in a Michelin-starred kitchen, Sean went on to set up The Saddleworth Cheese Company and is now an award-making cheese maker.
Sean released The Great Northern Cookbook, which is definitely worth a read. I've got the book and use if often.

I always thought it was odd that Martin didn't return at least to comfort David and adopted daughter Sarah, even with a different face, in special times like the canal incident, Kylie's death, or Lily and Harry's births. I thought Martin was supposed to have a new family now. Even so, he divorced Gail, not the kids. I don't remember how it was left after the horrible story with Katy Harris, but I wouldn't mind his return or a visit.
Yes, very odd that David has no contact with her father, and this not raised as an issue. Martin was supposedly in Blackpool and I know it is very hard to get a visa to enter Blackpool nowadays but still.
They should really have Martin move to Spain or something. Every time there's a big event in David's life - which there frequently is - they have to gloss over the fact that his own father couldn't be bothered going a few miles down the M62 to visit.
David did take Max & Lily to stay with Martin back during his persecution by Callum. I agree though that there should be more frequent mentions of him. It might be good to see Martin return (with a new head) with his new family when the show expands in the autumn. It makes far more sense to introduce characters who already have history with established residents (Gina, Jude &c) rather than the risky Whole New Family (the Hopkins, the Mortons).
I have to say, I really enjoyed his Great Northern Cooking show. He was very personable and funny. And I guess....he can really make great cheese!
