Gail Platt (Helen Worth) gets the shock of her life next month when her estranged father Ted Page (played by acting veteran Michael Byrne) re-appears after years of silence and reveals that he's gay.

Gail's mum Audrey (Sue Nicholls) is initially suspicious of her former flame's motives towards her, but she breathes a sigh of relief when she hears his news - as does Audrey's fancy man, Bill Webster (Peter Armitage).

You don't think he's an investor in the new Victoria Court luxury apartments, do you?
