| - Martin Platt is the father of David Platt and second husband of Gail Tilsley. Student Martin started working at Jim's Cafe in January 1985, where he worked alongside Gail, who was then married to Brian Tilsley. After Brian's death in 1989, Martin and Gail began a relationship despite a ten-year age difference (Martin being the younger of the two). When Gail fell pregnant, she decided to have an abortion, as she didn't want Martin to feel she was trapping him, but Martin stopped her and she gave birth to their son David in December 1990. Martin and Gail married in September the following year, and he adopted her older children Nicky and Sarah Louise the following month. Martin and Gail had a happy marriage and the age difference wasn't often an issue. Martin spent four years at college studying nursing and it was there that he had a one-night stand with Cathy Power in 1994, but he and Gail got through this. In 2000, he had an affair with nurse Rebecca Hopkins and the heartbreak of Rebecca leaving him made Martin tell Gail the truth and divorce her. However, they remained good friends and Martin was still there for Gail and the children. Martin later started a relationship with sixteen-year-old Katy Harris, much to the ire of her father Tommy who never accepted the relationship and kept trying to split them up. Tommy finally got his way when he got Katy to abort Martin's unborn baby, under the mistaken impression that Martin was having an affair. Martin split up with Katy and in the tragic circumstances which followed, Katy killed Tommy in a fit of rage and then took her own life. Martin found greater happiness later in the year when he left Weatherfield for Liverpool with his new girlfriend Robyn and in 2006 Robyn gave birth to their daughter. Martin has not returned to Weatherfield since his departure but David occasionally visits him in Liverpool.
