Coronation Street viewers are bracing themselves for another potential blow to the Platt family. After Gail Platt’s emotional departure, fans now suspect that Sarah Platt could be the next beloved character to leave the cobbles — and the theory is gaining traction after this week’s explosive episodes.

Sarah’s Turbulent Week on the Cobbles

Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) has faced countless scandals and heartbreaks since first appearing on Coronation Street in 1987. From her shocking teenage pregnancy to messy breakups and family drama, Sarah has always been at the center of Weatherfield’s most emotional moments.

Now, fans fear her latest storyline could push her to the brink.

This week, Sarah’s business dealings took a dark turn when a meeting with client Eli spiraled out of control. Unknown to Sarah, her boyfriend Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) deliberately delayed Eli by stopping and searching him before the pitch — setting off a chain reaction of chaos.

Eli’s Threat and Sarah’s Growing Trouble

During the meeting, Sarah worked hard to impress Eli and secure a deal, but tensions exploded when Eli discovered Kit’s connection to her. Furious, Eli stormed out — but Sarah, desperate to save the pitch, locked him in the office to finish her presentation.

Her bold move backfired spectacularly. Later, Eli revealed plans to file a sexual harassment complaint against Sarah as revenge for the humiliation.

Shocked and panicked, Sarah turned to Kit for support. However, Kit escalated the situation by confronting Eli directly, delivering a stern warning not to proceed with the complaint.

Unfortunately, this confrontation was overheard by Sarah’s brother — and Kit’s long-time rival — David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd). In a shocking twist, David persuaded Eli to file the complaint anyway, dragging both Kit and Sarah deeper into trouble.

Kit Faces Fallout as Fans Worry for Sarah

By Wednesday’s episode (August 20), Eli had officially lodged the harassment allegation. Kit was immediately called into a meeting with his superiors, leaving his reputation and career on the line.

Meanwhile, Sarah was furious when she discovered Kit’s involvement — but later softened, and the pair reconciled despite the growing pressure.

Still, the drama has viewers fearing the worst. With Kit under investigation, Sarah entangled in a messy complaint, and David stirring the pot, fans believe the tension could lead to Sarah’s exit from Weatherfield.

Fans React: “Not Another Platt Gone!”

Coronation Street viewers have flooded social media and fan forums with concerns about Sarah’s future on the show. On a popular Corrie Facebook fan page, one worried viewer wrote:

“Is all this stuff with Eli leading to another exit for Sarah?”

Another fan speculated:

“I think Eli will try to take both Kit and Sarah down. This could ruin them.”

Some viewers are even linking the storyline to Gail Platt’s recent departure, suggesting that Sarah could take a break from Weatherfield to be with her mum. One fan commented:

“Maybe she leaves for a while to go see Gail. That would make sense.”

What’s Next for Sarah and the Platts?

With Gail gone, the Platt family already feels fractured — and if Sarah leaves, it could be devastating for fans who have followed her journey for decades.

Key questions remain:

• Will Eli’s harassment complaint destroy Sarah’s career?

• Can Kit protect her, or will his rivalry with David make things worse?

• And most importantly — is Sarah Platt really about to walk away from Weatherfield?

With tensions building and secrets bubbling to the surface, this storyline has the potential to reshape the Platt family dynamic forever.
