I don't remember what I posted yesterday, let alone when I was on holiday in Spain

And I thought I was the only sad person who posted on SB while on hols. So you were in Spain that probably explains how I actually managed to post some spoilers before you

Yes, that could explain it

BAD boy David Platt is up to no good again as he destroys evidence incriminating his mum Gail in Joe McIntyre's death.

The Coronation Street tearaway chucks the dead kitchen fitter's phone into a canal after realising it has texts that could make it look like Gail bumped off her hubby.

Joe, played by Reece Dinsdale, dies after a plot to get insurance money by faking his own death in a boat accident - based on the real-life canoe scam of John Darwin - goes horribly wrong.

Gail (Helen Worth) is the prime suspect when his body is found with her nail scratches on his face. She also took out a life insurance policy on him two weeks before his death.

The widow is later found to have sent Joe's daughter Tina (Michelle Keegan) reassuring texts from his phone, believing the plan had worked.

So David (Jack P Shepherd) lobs the mobile into the water in a bid to stop his mum going to jail.

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..."
