Most prominently, her grandson Max Turner, is currently being groomed by the despicable Griff and getting himself involved in a whole heap of trouble thanks to his new friends racist ways.
As well as this, her son David has been having trouble trying to parent Max but Gail has been nowhere to be found.

One fan in response then blasted the show's bosses for their use of Gail, writing: "The show don’t take Gail seriously and haven’t for years I’d say."
Another disapointed fan said: "She has been in more episodes than anyone on Corrie history bar Ken and will overtake him one day. She deserves a lot better.
