Actor Sean Wilson is back on the cobbles as Martin Platt, six years after he last returned to Weatherfield.
Sean begins filming today (Weds July 24th) and will first appear on screen in October as part of Helen Worth’s exit storyline as Gail.
Martin’s son David is shocked to find his dad at the house and is immediately suspicious about his reason for coming back into their lives.
How will the rest of the family feel when Martin reveals why he has turned up out of the blue?
Sean picked up his first bumper pile of scripts as he prepares to start shooting, he said: “ It was great to be invited back to Coro St 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. Martin 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.
What has brought Martin back to the UK and what part will he play in Gail’s departure from the street?
