Helen Worth – Coronation Street – Age 70
Soap operas are notorious for giving their characters a hard time. And while it makes for good a TV show, it’s a whole different story when life imitates art. Such was the case with Helen Worth and her onscreen persona Gail Platt.
Both women had to go through finding out that their spouse was having an affair behind their back. Worth initially forgave her then-husband Michael Angelis but ended up divorcing him in 2001 after a decade-long marriage. She remarried in 2013 and continues to star as the unlucky in love Gail on Corrie.
