I thought Helen Worth was supposed to be appearing tonight?

She's with the kids at Audrey's.

It's a shame she wasn't involved because Helen would have been amazing, but I really hope this is a storyline that ultimately gets to bring Gail back from the clouds and down to earth - her kids are going to need her.

I wish they'd involved Nick because it would have involved all of Gail's kids - but never mind.

Fantastic anyway.

Apparently she didnt want to do the live

She never does the live does she?

She definitely wasn't part of the 50th or the one from 2000; so maybe she just doesnt want to run the risk of cocking it up! I don't blame her! I'd be terrified.

It's a shame, as her absence was felt I thought. It doesn't feel quite right the three Platts covering up the murder without Gail involved.

A shame shes missed out on all three lives, but I think ultimatley it matters more what they do with the Gail character next with a new producer coming in, I want to see Gail stop her simpering and regain her old bold matriachal persona.

She will probably appear on Friday acting like a buffoon.

Seriously, I did miss her tonight. The writing for her has been awful for ages but I really feel she could've added something here. This is one situation in which it wouldn't be possible to present her as an idiot.
