Coronation Street fans appear to have been left shouting at their tellies as Gail Platt came close to discovering at least some of the truth about her brother, Stephen. During the Boxing Day trip to Weatherfield, viewers of the ITV soap saw Gail become suspicious of Stephen - again - after talking to Elaine Jones.
Fans have been desperate for Stephen to be outed for months now as he tries to scam his mother, Audrey Roberts, out of her life savings while also killing innocent Leo Thompkins in the process. But Gail's latest suspicions about Stephen started on Christmas Day when he failed to buy any lavish gifts for his family despite being a successful businessman in Italy.
But as viewers know, Stephen has lost all his money and has been trying to pay his ex-wife, Gabrielle, back. As they gathered in the Bistro for Christmas dinner, David wasted no time in calling out his uncle for his gift - a travel pillow for him and wife Shona to share - and his lack of present for his birthday.
