15th February 1989: Gail and Brian Tilsley's marriage was at breaking point. Despite only marrying the year before following their divorce in 1987, Gail and Brian were struggling to see eye to eye and after some deliberation Gail decided that they should divorce again as they did not work as a couple. Brian, who was quite content with the marriage, was resolute that if Gail was unhappy she should be the one to move out, not him, and accused her of trying to take his son Nick away from him, calling her a hard, selfish bitch. The matter was rendered moot however as later that day Brian went clubbing with Alison Oakley. When leaving the disco, Alison was attacked by youths, and Brian, stepping in to rescue her, was stabbed by the thugs. The injury he sustained was fatal.
