David reveals the secret to Sarah (Picture: ITV)
Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce) may be dead and gone, but he’s still influencing events in Coronation Street even from beyond the grave in upcoming episodes.
Audrey (Sue Nicholls) is going through the belongings that Stephen left behind. Among them is his laptop, which she agrees to give to Jenny (Sally Ann Matthews) who has some work documents on there.
David (Jack P. Shepherd) tries to convince his gran to throw some of the other stuff away, including Stephen’s diary. He fears that she’ll find it upsetting and she’s already quite fragile as a result of Stephen’s death as it is.
Audrey insists she’s going to keep the diary, reasoning that Stephen wasn’t all bad and she has a lot of happy memories of him too.

Of course David can’t resist a look at Stephen’s diary himself and he’s shocked when he reads some family history he had no knowledge of – that his mum Gail (Helen Worth) was initially unsure who Sarah (Tina O’Brien)’s real father was.

Sarah’s father was Brian Tilsley (Chris Quinten), but at the time Sarah was conceived Gail and Brian had drifted apart and Gail had a brief relationship with Brian’s cousin Ian Latimer (Michael Loney), who was visiting from Australia.
Gail’s affair with Ian was over when she realised she was pregnant. Audrey wrote to him to let him know and he returned to England and asked Gail to marry him. She told him she didn’t need him and would raise the baby herself.
