Les Dennis glad the truth is finally out there in Coronation Street

The truth about Andy’s double life posing as Michael’s son Gavin is finally revealed in Coronation Street on Monday.

And Les Dennis, who plays shattered Michael, says it’ll at last stop the public trying to reveal the deception!

“I am pleased that Michael knows at last as people stop me in the street to tell me it’s not my son,” smiles Les.

“And I’m like: ‘Well, I know, but Michael doesn’t.’

“I’m glad that Michael does find out. And I’m also glad that we’re seeing a harder side to him because, since being a burglar, he’s been really nice and he acquiesces and gives in to everybody.

“But now we’re going to see the worm that turns. He’s very angry.

“He’s not nasty, but there’s a steelier side to him that we haven’t seen before.”

The stunning truth comes as Michael sees a family album, despite the desperate efforts of Gail and Andy to stop him.

“He goes absolutely cold,” reveals Les.

“He says: ‘You’re not my son, that’s my son, he died. I didn’t get the chance to say goodbye to him, I don’t know who you are.’”

And Gail’s part in the deception is just as devastating.

“I think he still loves her but he is so shocked at what she’s done,” adds Les.

“I don’t believe at this point he can forgive her. He thinks that all trust is gone.

“And, you know, if you had a chance to meet your son, even though he was a bad ’un, you’d still want her to have told him.

“And he can’t forgive her for that, no.”
