Martin Platt is returning to Coronation Street later this month. Oh yes he is! Find out more on that here.
So it's time to take a look back at the character of Martin to remind ourselves about him, and for more recent viewers to find out about the man who is David Platt's dad.
Martin Platt is David's dad and one of the many ex-husbands of Gail - and a much younger one too. When they married, Martin adopted Sarah Lou as his own daughter and Nick as his son.
Martin worked as nurse - and always seemed to be on duty at Weatherfield General. You might recognise his female colleague in the picture below... the actress is currently playing another feisty female on the show now. You can find out who it is here.
Martin met fellow nursing student Carmel Finnan who was a sandwich short of a picnic. She made it look as though she and Martin were having an affair, even claiming she was pregnant by him. Martin slept with nurse Cathy Power and then had an affair with Rebecca Hopkins.
Then Martin 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. Katy fell pregnant but her dad made her have an abortion. thinking (wrongly) that Martin was having an affair and cheating on his daughter. In the way of soaps, Katy killed her dad Tommy in a fit of rage and then took her own life.
Martin went on to find happiness 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 visited him in Liverpool.
So there you have it, in a nut-shell, more or less. One person who might be interested to see Martin return - apart from Gail of course - is Jenny

Gina Seddon was a brief fling while she was staying with Kev and Sally. I remember Gina sneaking Martin out of the house when Kev and Sally came home unexpectedly. Gina behaved badly throughout her stay and later admitted it was because she was jealous of Sally's life. Martin and Sally were an item for a while and went on a camping holiday with their children.
Isn't Martin the only living fellow that has been married to Gail?
