Episodes airing this week will see the real Gavin Rodwell turn up in Weatherfield, which leads to him manipulating Andy by threatening to reveal the shocking truth to Michael.
Seeing the opportunity to make some quick cash, Gavin later demands £5,000 from Andy in exchange for his silence. Feeling he has no other choice, Andy steals from the Bistro and stages a mugging in order to cover it up - although he still only manages to come up with £2,500.
With Gavin unhappy after only receiving half of the cash he asked for, he vengefully knocks on Gail's door on the morning of the wedding and introduces himself as Michael's real son.
As Gail reels from the news, Gavin is forced to hand over his passport and driving licence in order to prove that he is definitely the real Gavin Rodwell.
Gavin explains to Gail how Andy staged the mugging in order to buy his silence, and also declares that while he hates his dad for abandoning him, he also believes he should know the truth.
Gail begs Gavin not to reveal his true identity, fully aware that the shock could kill Michael. In response, Gavin tells a horrified Gail that he will keep quiet in return for the £2,500 he didn't receive from Andy.
At the same time, an oblivious Michael and Andy become increasingly anxious as they wait at the registry office for Gail, but will she make it in time? And will she tell Michael the truth?
