Maisie Gatley is the daughter of Christian Gatley and the granddaughter of Hayley Cropper. She has a younger brother called Sam. When Hayley made contact for the first time in six years with son Christian in September 2013, she had discovered he was married and had two children - Maisie and her younger brother Sam. However, he was reluctant to introduce them to Hayley, as she was a transsexual and his biological father.
