:D Yes, that could explain it
CHelen Worth (Gail Platt, Corrie)oronation Street's unlucky-in-love medical receptionist Gail Platt - played by Helen Worth - ties the knot for the fourth time during next week's episodes, completely unaware that her husband owes thousands to a loan shark. Gail's first husband Brian Tilsley was stabbed to death, her second Martin Platt ran off with another woman, while her third Richard Hillman was exposed as a serial killer before attempting to kill Gail and her children. Husband 4.0 Joe McIntyre (Reece Dinsdale) looked a promising prospect from the outset, but his financial problems resulted in a bad back, a painkiller addiction and further monetary problems. In the run-up to her character's latest big day, we chat to Helen about her character's luck with men and how Gail's feeling to finally be marrying the love of her life.
How's Gail coping in the run up to the wedding?
"She's absolutely over the moon, as you can imagine! Her gorgeous engagement ring, which I'm looking at now... I don't know if you saw it on screen but you can only just see the little diamond and even though it's like a pin prick, it's her greatest treasure in the world."
Why's Gail prepared to put her life on the line for Joe's debts?
"Gail's extremely happy with him and he's a good man - she thinks that he's going to look after her. They're deliriously happy together. She completely loves him. It's as simple as that."
Does she love Joe more than her ex-husbands?
"Is he my favourite?! Everyone at the time was Gail's favourite! She thought they were all going to be wonderful husbands, but look what happened! Unfortunately for Gail, she never learns. "
Do you think she's cursed?
"She's doing very well with a fourth husband, actually! Gail doesn't see it as bad luck - she just sees it as her life. She's met a man who she thinks will fulfil all her dreams and these men keep appearing! I really think she's very fortunate."
How does Joe compare to Gail's other husbands?
"On paper, Joe looks quite normal! He's like any other normal man with problems and they're getting on top of him. Gail will share those problems. Like she says, when Gail marries him, Joe's problems become her problems and that's the way it should be. That sums their relationship up, really. She'll do anything for him because Gail can't let her dream go. To realise that he's the wrong man would spell the end of her dream, so she's not going to do it."
How pleased are you that Nick's returned to the Street?
"I'm absolutely thrilled! Ben Price is gorgeous, lovely and funny. He'll be a great asset to the Platt household. As for Gail, her dearly beloved son's returned - the favourite, her first born. Ben came into this huge Platt history lesson. It was very funny! I was saying 'yes, and you married her' and he was saying 'who?' I'd forgotten most of it, though!"
Does Gail still have all of her previous wedding rings?
"I think they're mounting up in my makeup box at work!"
Do you think she'll ever be happy in love?
"I hope not because it makes for a much better story if she's not!"
Things take a turn for the worst, though…
"No, it doesn't quite work out as she'd planned a few weeks down the line..."

GRIEVING Gail McIntyre is banned from her husband’s funeral by his daughter.

Cops suspect Gail (Helen Worth, 59) may have bumped him off.
And Tina (Michelle Keegan, 22) tells her: “I think you’re lying about how my dad died.

Daily Star
