Sarah Platt is set to be rocked by news about her late father on Coronation Street this week.
She's always known Brian Tilsley to be her dad, but her brother David finds an old journal of Gail's late brother Stephen Reid, who died earlier this year. Sarah learns that Gail was unsure who Sarah's dad was, and that there was a possibility Brian isn't her dad.
Gail had an affair with Brian's cousin Ian Latimer around the time she got pregnant with Sarah. However, a blood test confirmed Sarah was Brian's daughter.

Brian star Chris Quinten has had a rollercoaster career. He's gone from the glitz and glamour of soap operas to the tantalizing world of strip clubs.
Chris made his Corrie debut in 1978, capturing the hearts of millions before his dramatic departure from the show in 1989. After leaving the cobbles of Weatherfield behind, Chris ventured across the pond to Hollywood, scoring roles in several TV series and movies.
However, the 66-year-old eventually returned to the UK, swapping the limelight for a management role at the seductive Secret Lounge strip club. In a saucy twist of fate, Chris met his love Robyn Delabarre, 24, when she auditioned to dance at the club.
Lap dancer fiancé
Chris Quinten surprised fans when he announced his engagement to girlfriend Robyn at the strip club where she used to work. The actor was 61 at the time and held a 40-year age gap with the 21-year-old when they announced their plans to wed.
Chris shared a flyer for the couple's engagement party inviting their nearest and dearest to the venue where he served as manager. The flyer read: “Come and join us! We got engaged! All are welcome to join us for a celebratory engagement party at The Secret Lounge.”
The invitation also featured a photo of Chris and Robyn looking cosy on a large red chair. Chris and Robyn had recently attended the Royal Ascot together where they were seen sitting in the stands as they cheered with joy, having apparently won big at the races.
Speaking previously to the Sunday Mirror, Chris had told how the couple were head over heels for each other. He said: “We don’t care what anyone thinks. All we know is we’re in love.” The pair had met when Robyn auditioned to become a dancer at The Secret Lounge.
They had kept their romance a secret for months as they didn't want it to jeopardize Robyn's job at the club. Chris hadn't been in a relationship for 10 years before meeting her and said there was an instant attraction when they met.
“I was working here only a week and everyone kept asking me, ‘Have you met Lexi yet? When I saw her it was a lightning bolt. A feeling I hadn’t had before. You get it only once, twice if you’re lucky.”
Rival soap role
The actor made a sizzling return to the soap world in 2020, joining Hollyoaks as Kyle Kelly's long-lost father. Teaming up with the fabulous Diana Weston, who played Kyle's mum, the duo was introduced on Twitter during National Make A Friend Day.
This wasn't the first time Chris and Adam Rickitt, who played Kyle, shared the screen. Adam once played Chris' on-screen son, Nick Tisley, on Corrie before leaving the cobbles in 1999.
Chris gushed that reuniting with Adam after 30 years was a "dream come true" and expressed his excitement about exploring the characters' backstory. He said: "I've thoroughly enjoyed the scenes I've filmed so far at Hollyoaks; I already love the show and all the cast, crew, and production staff are fantastic and so friendly.
“Working with Adam after first playing 'his' dad more than thirty years ago is a dream come true; it's a brilliant piece of soap nostalgia, which I hope everyone enjoys.
"I think Mark and Carole will really give viewers an insight into why Kyle became the man he is today, which has been a lot of fun to play, and I'm looking forward to doing more."
OnlyFans fortune
The soap heartthrob’s young bombshell fiancé, former lap dancer Robyn Delabarre, is amassing a small fortune by selling sizzling snaps on OnlyFans, charging her adoring followers £6-a-month.
The stunning beauty wants to prove she's not with the TV icon for his wallet, sharing a whopping 31 photos and 13 tantalizing videos on the site. Chris romantically popped the question on her 21st birthday last year, and the lovebirds now nest in their cozy London love nest.

But not everyone is rooting for the couple, as some envious trolls have slammed Robyn for her May-December romance. They've bombarded her with cruel messages on Instagram, accusing her of being a gold-digger and labeling Chris her "sugar daddy."
However, the feisty Robyn clapped back, proudly flaunting her financial independence and lucrative OnlyFans earnings. She defiantly told one troll: "Sugar daddy? I have more money than him. He has no money." Before finding love with Chris, Robyn dated the late Love Island star Mike Thalassitis, whose life tragically ended last year.
Famous ex
Ladies' man and former Coronation Street star Chris Quinten had a sizzling love affair with the stunning American talk show queen Leeza Gibbons during the '90s. After saying goodbye to the cobbles of Weatherfield, Chris jetted off to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, chasing fame and fortune in Tinseltown.
Fate brought Chris and the ravishing Leeza together, and soon their whirlwind romance had tongues wagging on both sides of the pond. The paparazzi went wild, clamouring for every juicy detail of their steamy love story, as the pair became the talk of the town.
Unfortunately the pressures of fame and fortune eventually took their toll on Chris and Leeza's passionate liaison and they split after welcoming a daughter together. Chris returned to the UK, swapping the limelight for the seductive world of strip clubs, while the ever-glamorous Leeza continued her meteoric rise as a talk show host, television personality, and producer.
