Well, we read it in the currant bun so it must be true. Here's the story as they break it in their Friday edition (11 July 2008).
"CORRIE’s long-suffering Gail Platt is in for a new shock – when she finds out that her long-lost dad is GAY. Veteran actor Michael Byrne (pictured below) is to play her dad Ted Paige – a young soldier Audrey Roberts dumped when she fell pregnant with Gail aged just 18. His arrival on the cobbles will shake things up this summer.
A show source says: “Audrey wanted to settle down with someone so she could claim back son Stephen who she had when she was 16. But the man she fancied wasn’t interested so Audrey went for his best friend, Ted.
“When she discovered she was pregnant by Ted, she fled as she knew he would propose - and she couldn’t spend the rest of her life with him.” But her new fella Bill Webster doesn’t need to worry – because it turns out Ted is now gay."
