Coronation Street, Gail McIntyre will soon realise that her problems are only just beginning following the shock death of Gavin Rodwell.

Gail has vowed to keep her partner Michael in the dark about his son's demise, but she realises that it won't be an easy task when Michael's aunt Barbara arrives on her doorstep.

Barbara turns up on the cobbles to break the news of Gavin's death, which forces Gail to quickly come up with a cover story - claiming that Michael is unwell in hospital and won't be able to attend the funeral.

While Barbara appears to accept Gail's excuses, she leaves her shaken by revealing that Gavin actually died of a heart attack rather than the road crash he was involved in.

Needing to keep up appearances, Gail promises that she will attend Gavin's funeral in Michael's place, but how easy will she find lying to all of Michael's family?
