Coronation Street fans believe they’ve rumbled the identity of Sarah Barlow’s real dad after a major DNA twist rocked Weatherfield.
Sarah was stunned on Friday (December 15) after her real dad’s identity was thrown into question, with Stephen Reid’s journal laying bare some family secrets after his death. Sarah always assumed her dad was Brian Tilsley, it turns out Gail wasn’t sure who Sarah’s dad really was at first.
Audrey Roberts gathered up the dead serial killer Stephen’s belongings and came across the diary – with David later becoming aware of Gail’s secret and spilling the beans to Sarah. As Sarah demands to know the identity of her real dad, fans are now convinced his identity is none other than Neighbours icon, Jason Donovan, with rumours swirling that the actor would be Australian.

A third added: “Was it Australian they said is Sarah’s dad? Who do we reckon then? Jason Donovan?” It was later revealed in the episode by Gail during a grilling from Sarah that the man in question was her dad’s cousin – offering up more of a back story about the mystery man. Sarah was born in 1987 and her biological father was said to be Brian Tilsley (Christopher Quinten) who was stabbed to death when she was two years old.

Brian was defending a woman from a group of thugs outside of a nightclub, right after Gail had called time on their romance, convinced they weren’t suited. Soon after Brian’s death, Gail met Martin Platt (Sean Wilson), who ended up adopting Sarah and raising her as his own daughter. But it seems there was another mystery man in Gail’s life that the family don’t know about.
