The characters aren't always on good terms, but thankfully Gareth's off-screen relationship with actress Jane Hazlegrove - who plays Bernie - is full of banter and unmatched.
Gareth cleared the air and made it known that it was all love off-set after he took to Instagram and penned a love note to his rival.
Jane, 55, started the string of adorable exchanges on her social media platform, sharing a snap of the pair together, along with their fellow actor Michael Fatogun, who plays Moses.
She penned in the caption: "See! All pals off camera! I love working with these beauts! @levifatz and @garpierce.”

Gareth replied to the post and said: "Love ya".
The 42-year-old then joked about the signature neon yellow rubber gloves she wore on the soap.
He teased: "She says that [we're pals], but shortly after this, those yellow marigolds were slapped across my chops like a pair of Middle Ages gauntlets!"
Jane swiftly fired back, saying: "Middle-aged chop slapping.. think it might catch on?"

In recent scenes on the cobbles, the tension between Todd and Bernie has reached an all-time high, causing Moses to lose his job.
After Bernie, who is Paul's mum, spotted the pair embracing, she assumed their friendship had taken a romantic turn.
She then took it upon herself to call Moses' bosses, which resulted in him being suspended from his job, only to later reveal that he'd since been offered a position in London, far away from the street.
