Coronation Street spoilers: Gail Platt chilled to the bone when Richard Hillman is brought back by Sophie Thompson’s psychic Rosemary
Actress Sophie Thompson has revealed how Rosemary will seek out Audrey Roberts in an effort to get to her daughter Gail and pass on a message from Hillman
GAIL Platt is going to be chilled to the bone when psychic Rosemary reveals she has a message from her murderous husband Richard Hillman in Coronation Street.
Actress Sophie Thompson - who plays the self-professed psychic medium in the ITV soap - has revealed how Rosemary will seek out Audrey Roberts in an effort to get to her daughter Gail and pass on a message from her departed husband.
Viewers watched more than 16 years ago when Richard murdered Maxine Peacock and his ex wife Patricia Hillman, leaving Duggie Ferguson to die, before trying to murder Emily Bishop, Audrey Roberts, wife Gail Platt, and stepchildren and grandchildren David, Sarah and Bethany Platt.
He famously cursed Gail for defying him and the Platts have suffered a horrible time of it since with Gail having two more husbands dying on her as the least of it.
And now Rosemary will arrive with words from Richard from the afterlife, and leave Gail chilled to the bones.
Sophie told The Sun Online: "I think it’s just genuinely disturbing and obviously this guy was not a very nice person and affected her life quite profoundly so to hear even his name must chill her bones.
"She’s disturbed but it’s like you want to know more but you don’t want to know so she’s in that place at the moment with very mixed feelings."
She added: "I seek out Audrey in the salon as a customer and then start to reveal that I have information and that I am a clairvoyant so that for her is surprising and intriguing.
"But then we have a session together and I reveal that I want to give information to Gail and that surprises her.
"So I kind of go by Audrey to get the message to Gail."
