In pictures: All of Gail's Coronation Street marriages

(This post was originally posted by Flaming Nora on the Coronation Street Blog March 2015, reposted to this blog with permission.)

There's a wedding being planned to take place on Coronation Street tonight as Michael takes Gail up the aisle. Or does he? We don't know yet if the wedding will take place although everything is set for it to happen, Gail's got the frock and Michael's suited and booted.

It's time then to have a look back at Gail's previous weddings and the husbands she's loved and lost.

Wedding number 1. From Gail Potter to Gail Tilsley. Gail married Brian Tilsley for the first time on 28 November 1979. Brian divorced Gail after her affair with Ian Latimer as he wasn't sure whether he was really Sarah-Lou's real dad.

Wedding number 2: Gail Tilsley to Gail Tilsley. She married Brian for the second time on 24 February 1988 for the sake of the kids. Brian died after being stabbed in an alley after a night out in a club.

Wedding number 3. From Gail Tilsley to Gail Platt when she married toy-boy Martin much to her mother-in-law Ivy's chagrin. Gail and Martin's wedding took place on 27 September 1991.

Wedding number 4: From Gail Platt to Gail Hillman. Richard drove Gail round the bend and her family into the canal. It was probably never a good choice to marry the man they called 'Norman Bates with a briefcase'.

Wedding number 5: From Gail Platt to Gail McIntyre. Joe died in a watery grave after he tried to fake his own death for an insurance scam and ended up drowned in the Lake District. Filmed at Ryecroft Hall in Audenshaw.
