The ruse is all to fool Gail into thinking David’s moved on from Kylie, but it’s got the added bonus of winding Aidan up and making him jealous.
Maria and Aidan were having an affair before she went inside, but he’s in a relationship with Eva Price. Maria confessed her love to Aidan, but it seems he’s chosen Eva over her, and the two have stayed apart since she came back to the cobbles.
So Maria’s been pouring all her efforts into the prank on Gail, and next week she David tell her Maria’s pregnant with his baby – and that they’re getting engaged!
Gail’s a little bit concerned at how quickly it’s all moving, but is thrilled her son’s found happiness. And she still has no idea it’s all a wind up!
Clued-up Audrey decides to put Gail out of her misery and fill her in on what’s really going on, leaving Gail ready to get her own back.

David’s not stupid though and immediately suspects something’s not right, instantly picking up on the tension between the pair.
When they get back to Maria’s flat he pushes her on it and asks what the deal is. Forced into a confession, Maria reveals she and Aidan had an affair before she went to jail.
