Coronation Street's cast and crew have been working on location today (March 12) for Gail McIntyre and Michael Rodwell's second attempt at tying the knot.

Helen Worth and Les Dennis, who play the on-screen couple, were spotted filming in Manchester alongside their on-screen family.

Gail and Michael's first wedding day arrived earlier this week in Monday night's episodes, but Gail ended up arriving late and missing their scheduled slot following an unexpected visit from Michael's son Gavin.

As Gail thought that she had already met the son of her husband-to-be, it was a huge shock to her when the real Gavin arrived and exposed the deception of impostor Andy Carver.

Paparazzi pictures taken today appear to show that the second wedding day will run more smoothly as Gail arrives on time, but whether she has finally got her happy ending remains to be seen.

Another major difference from the last wedding is the presence of Gail's daughter Sarah-Louise and granddaughter Bethany, who had been unable to fly back from Milan for this week's ceremony.

Tina O'Brien and newcomer Lucy Fallon, who play Sarah and Bethany, were among those present for the on-location shoot today. Bethany's return scenes will be screened at the end of next week, while Sarah arrives back a few days afterwards in order to track her wayward daughter down.


Coronation Street will air the wedding scenes in a few weeks' time on ITV.

Over on Coronation Street, Gail McIntyre will soon realise that her problems are only just beginning following the shock death of Gavin Rodwell.

Gail (Helen Worth) has vowed to keep her partner Michael in the dark about his son's demise, but she realises that it won't be an easy task when Michael's aunt Barbara arrives on her doorstep.

Barbara turns up on the cobbles to break the news of Gavin's death, which forces Gail to quickly come up with a cover story - claiming that Michael is unwell in hospital and won't be able to attend the funeral.

While Barbara appears to accept Gail's excuses, she leaves her shaken by revealing that Gavin actually died of a heart attack rather than the road crash he was involved in.

Needing to keep up appearances, Gail promises that she will attend Gavin's funeral in Michael's place, but how easy will she find lying to all of Michael's family?
