Coronation Street, Michael Rodwell is at the centre of a love triangle when he collapses after kissing Eileen Grimshaw behind Gail’s back.

Michael is still in shock of finding out that his real son Gavin is actually dead and the son he thought he had is an imposter, when he heads round to see Eileen and drown their sorrows about their relationship woes with a glass of wine.

Michael and Eileen end up sharing a kiss over the vino, but the guilt kicks off his heart condition and he collapses before things can go any further.

When Eileen’s arch enemy Gail turns up in search of her hubby, she’s shocked to see the state he is in, but the guilty twosome are determined to keep the kiss a secret.

Sue said: “Eileen has to confide in the doctor what was happening at the time of his collapse, but Michael and Eileen have both agreed not to tell Gail about their kiss. So it is very awkward with the two of them at his bedside and Gail asking questions about what exactly happened leading up to his collapse.”

It can only be a matter of time before Gail finds out the truth?

''I think this is almost inevitable. The writers love having them as enemies, so when Gail finds out about Eileen and Michael it will no doubt lead to more arguments and maybe another fight. The fight on the street is the scene that so many people remember, so we have set the bar high. It’s great to do those scenes, Helen and I get on really well and have known each other for years, so it’s fun to play the opposite of that. There are some great one-liners too. I think this feud is going to run and run,” said Sue.
