Shepherd urged the show's writers to include the entire Platt family in her farewell scene. The writers agreed and created a new scene featuring Shepherd, Julia Goulding, and Ben Price alongside Worth. Helen Worth's final episode will air on Christmas Day. She announced her departure after five decades on the show, stating she felt it was time to leave.
