Sean Wilson: Last News

Two children are among four people found dead in a flat in west London yesterday after police were called to reports of concern for welfare of the occupants of the property.

Former Coronation Street actor Sean Wilson, who played Martin Platt from 1985 until 2005, has shared his concerns about the show's future, declaring that it is in "crisis" due to a declining number of viewers. Sean left the soap back in 2005 after a disagreement over a storyline which would see his character falling for 16 year old Katy Harris, played by Lucy-Jo Hudson. He then briefly made a return in 2018, before leaving the cobbles for good, with his character relocating to New Zealand.

Coronation Street star Sean Wilson chose a very different career path after turning his back on acting and exiting the ITV soap in 2005. Sean, 58, played Martin Platt in the soap from 1985 until 2005, and was involved in some big storylines including his marriage to Gail Platt (Helen Worth) and becoming dad to David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd).

Five people have died and one person is unaccounted for following a fire at a house in west London.

Coronation Street's award-winning scriptwriter John Stevenson has sadly passed away. Aged 86 at the time of his death, John was responsible for the many of the ITV's soap most memorable plots over the course of 447 episodes up until 2006. One such corker was the devastating dementia battle for Mike Baldwin, played by the late Johnny Briggs.

Coronation Street icon Sean Wilson has admitted that the ITV soap "wasn't for him" after he left, although he hinted at a potential return.The actor played David Platt's dad Martin, who left his son devastated when he left Weatherfield with his new girlfriend Robyn in November 2005, before returning in 2018, as David (Jack P. Shepherd) went through a shocking rape storyline.

CORRIE icon hinted a return to the ITV soap in a major comeback. The former Corrie star teased fans about reprising his role as Martin Platt - who he had played for 20 years. Actor Sean Wilson joined the cast in 1985 at just 18-years-old.

CORONATION Street star Tina O'Brien has reunited with her onscreen best friend Nikki Sanderson 17 years after quitting the soap. The actress took to social media to reveal the pair had met up at an event, as they posed together for a photo on Instagram. Tina, 39, who is best known for her role as Sarah Platt on the ITV soap, could be seen smiling next to Nikki, 38.

IT’S a surprising career change that reads like a soap storyline - a Coronation Street legend trading the cobbles for curds and whey to become a cheesemaker. Sean Wilson embarked on the unlikely job swap after quitting Weatherfield when he was told his character of 21 years, Martin Platt, was going to seduce an underage girl.  It was intended as a controversial Christmas storyline in 2005 that would have seen the family man nurse branded a paedophile.

Jenny Connor hasn't had the best luck when it comes to love and the Coronation Street character's latest relationship appears to be coming to an end. And so it has got Sally Ann Matthews, who plays her, reminiscing.
