<P> The character's feud with neighbour Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) arose when Eileen's son, Todd (Bruno Langley) gave up his university course to remain with Gail's daughter Sarah - Louise (Tina O'Brien); Sarah later married Eileen's older son, Jason, but the marriage soon broke up . Various things, including the 2010 tram crash, have caused them to put aside their differences . </P> <P> Cleaver has commented, "Eileen's relationship with Gail is horrendous (...) I love all the scraps in the street with Gail . Helen Worth (Gail) and I love doing all that - we have such a laugh with the abusive comments we make for each other . The constant battle is fun . It's a love - hate relationship ." Worth has suggested that Gail probably thinks she is "a little better than Eileen". Jenny Platt, who played Violet Wilson, has noted that "Gail's found her nemesis in Eileen, but it's so stupid because actually they are so similar . They are both single mums looking out for their kids ." In June 2015, they fought in the street after Gail discovered Eileen had kissed her estranged husband Michael . </P> <P> In 2008, Gail began a relationship with Joe McIntyre portrayed by Reece Dinsdale . The relationship was rocky just like most of other Gail's relationships but the two characters later went on to marry . Conclusion to the storyline and ending of the relationship resulting in Joe's death . In November 2009, The Sun reported Joe would decide to disappear on a boating holiday in the Lake District after experiencing a debt crisis which begins to spiral out of control, in a surprise twist, Joe ends up losing his life for real when a sail pole knocks him unconscious and into freezing cold water before he can carry out his plan in full . The plot mirrored real - life case of fraudster John Darwin, who faked his own death while out canoeing before turning up alive five years later in December 2007 . A source said: "It's a copycat storyline of Darwin's insurance scam . Corrie bosses have decided that Joe will meet a watery end . He decides to fake his own death to avoid his crippling debt problems and leave wife Gail with the proceeds from his life insurance ." </P> <P> Speaking of how Joe compared to Gail's other husband, Helen Worth said; "On paper, Joe looks quite normal! He's like any other normal man with problems and they're getting on top of him . Gail will share those problems . Like she says, when Gail marries him, Joe's problems become her problems and that's the way it should be . That sums their relationship up, really . She'll do anything for him because Gail can't let her dream go . To realise that he's the wrong man would spell the end of her dream, so she's not going to do it ." </P>
