Who is Gail’s dad in Coronation Street?
Gail is the daughter of Audrey Roberts and Ted Page.
In the 1950s Ted and Audrey were in a relationship and he proposed to her. But she declined his proposal and he left, unaware she was pregnant.
In 2008, Audrey reached out to Ted. He revealed to her he was gay and married a man named James in 2006 but James died the same year.
Audrey told Ted about Gail and at first he was furious at her as he had missed seeing his daughter grow up. And had missed quite a lot of his grandchildren and great grandchildren’s lives.
But when he met Gail they instantly bonded. Whilst on the street Ted struck up a friendship with Ken Barlow.
