When he arrived to defend her, she demanded they leave the house so she could calm down.

But instead of that happening, Gail took a turn for the worst and Jesse jumped into action calling for an ambulance and trying to keep her calm.

“I think I’m having a heart attack,” Gail said as the paramedics arrived.

“She’d had a row with the kids, they can be a right handful as far as I can tell and she got herself worked up,” Jesse added, throwing blame on David and Sarah.

“She’s had a heart attack about three years ago.”

Gail insisted she was fine and told them the medication she was on as she struggled to catch her breath.

“Chest pains, tiredness,” Gail tried to tell them as she struggled to breathe.

The paramedics ran tests and quickly rushed Gail into hospital where she lost consciousness and they battled to save her life.

Coronation Street's 2024 shock exits

Corrie has said goodbye to several cast members this year. Let's break down who's left the famous soap:

Eliza Woodrow (Savannah Kunyo) has said farewell to Corrie to start a new life in Germany.

The youngster moved to live with her dad Dom Everett, who went back on the £10,000 bribe Eliza's grandfather Stu had offered to keep him out of her life.

Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) will bow out of the soap this summer when he loses his fight with motor neurone disease (MND) in tragic scenes.

After being diagnosed last year, the fan favourite was devastated to learn he only had months left to live.

Viewers know he is planning to take his own life to end his suffering.

Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) departed the cobbles after being offered the opportunity of a lifetime to study in America.

Though she struggled to decide with her stepdad Paul’s impending death from MND, she was convinced she had to live her life to the full.

Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) has struggled with the sudden departure of his father Peter from the cobbles.

The Weatherfield legend left his family and loved ones behind on Boxing Day, 2023, when his wife Carla Connor encouraged him to travel around the world with a friend.

Simon's been on a downward spiral ever since and his exit could end in tragedy.

Alya Nazir is set to leave the cobbles as actress Sair Khan prepares to go on maternity leave ahead of the birth of her first child.

It looks likely she'll be heading to Dublin after securing a lucrative new job, leaving her colleague and fling Adam Barlow behind.

Show stalwart Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen Grimshaw, is taking a break to star in the Sister Act The Musical UK tour. She will be back filming in May once her dates on the tour come to an end.

Her character left the Street after her son Jason broke his back after falling off a moped in Asia.

The storyline marks the exit of actress Helen after 50 years in the role of Gail.

She is set to leave later this year in what’s been described as a happy ending.
