Yes, the general rule is when you are married to Gail, you die. So don't marry Gail ok, men of weatherfield
it really does feel like theres something that makes this happen and only 1 in 5 men can survive marriage to Gail. Maybe future storylines will see her break down and look for answers for why this is so and it causes her to learn more about herself
I'm sure she'll be a widow now for the next 20 years or so
Would love to know what everyone else has to say

It does seem the poor woman is a tad less than fortunate where husbands are concerned doesn't it!!
No wonder Martin never comes near any more!!

It would be a feasible s/l to run for her to go into depression of some sort over this latest setback, especially coming as they were just about to renew their vows!!
Gail's a strong woman, she's had to be, but you wonder just how much more misery she can take without it having a lasting effect!!

With that body count the job for an exorcist has long passed. This should now be the business of the homocide squad. It's time to get court orders to start exhuming bodies and get to the bottom of what's being going on in the Platt house of horrors.

Not to mention the tragedies that have befallen her sons. Maybe a young David intuited that her death would save many more in the long run.

Her disastrous romantic history has diminished two things from her optimistic youth -
The first thing is that Gail and Brian actually had one of the more plausible soap marriages -
The Tilsleys were never a 'double act' (and were never likely to be), but their story lines would really get to the nitty-gritty of the sort of setbacks that a young couple might face, not least the animosity between Gail and mother-in-law Ivy.
The other thing is that the coupling of Gail and Martin was quite radical in it's own modest way - For a prematurely widowed woman to find herself drawn to a younger man was a bit of a departure in soap at the time. Even now, it's the sort of thing that doesn't come up very often - Females over 30 without a marriage are more likely to be portrayed as (Sighhh!!!)
"Bunny-Boilers" (horrible phrase).

This is why I find it hard to laugh along at all the cracks on CS about Gail's ever-growing list of surnames - If this is what has come to define her character, then it's a bit of a cop-out.

I always wondered what a Bunny Boiler referred to. You've solved that mystery for me.

Bunny boiler? Doesn't it stem from Fatal Attraction where the woman cooks someone's pet rabbit on the stove?!!

I haven't a clue but it sounds like it was fatal for the pet rabbit.

There was a funny scene a few years back when Joe ranted at Gail and blamed her for his misfortunes, and even called her a jinx.
