Brian Tilsley

Gail and Brian were married from 1979 - 1988.

They struggled during the course of their marriage, and they constantly argued over money and their living arrangements.

Gail realised her marriage to Brian was dead in the water, so she had an affair with Ian Latimer and then got divorced.

However, Brian and Gail re-married when Sarah Louise was born, but tragedy struck when Brian was stabbed to death outside a nightclub in 1989.

Richard Hillman

Gail married financial adviser Richard Hillman in 2002.

However, their marriage soon turned sour when, in 2003, Richard confessed to two murders and tried to drown Gail and the kids by driving them into the canal.

Unfortunately for Richard, he only succeeded in killing himself.

The affair haunted the family for several years, and caused David to grow into a troubled teen.

Joe McIntyre

In 2010, Gail tied the knot with Joe McIntyre.

But the union wasn't to be when, after just a month of marriage, debt-ridden Joe tried to fake his death and Gail got arrested for his murder.

Gail was eventually found not guilty, but Joe later killed himself.

Michael Rodwell

Gail married Michael Rodwell - who was played by TV legend Les Dennis - in 2015.

Once again for Gail, the marriage ended in disaster.

After the pair struggled for a year of marriage, Michael died of a heart attack at the hands of Pat Phelan.
