Ted Farrell

Ted Farrell was the wartime sweetheart of Betty Turpin and the father of Gordon Clegg.

After World War II Ted and Betty where briefly in a relationship. They had lost contact when Ted didn't come back to Betty, but unaware to him she had fallen pregnant to his son Gordon who was later born in 1950. Ted would go on to get married himself and have daughters, and later grandchildren.

In 1982 Ted turned up at the Rovers Return Inn after reading in the newspaper that Betty had been attacked, bringing much shock to her. They had later caught up over what they had been up to since they last met, and Betty that she had married a man named Cyril Turpin and that she also had a son - Gordon. On her second meeting with Ted, she had revealed that Gordon wasn't actually Cyril's and that he was conceived after a brief relationship with another man. Betty had decided not to disclose to Ted that Gordon was his son.
