Sam Gatley

Sam Gatley is the son of Christian Gatley and the grandson of Hayley Cropper. He has an older sister called Maisie. His mother is called Holly.

When Christian had briefly met up with Hayley in September 2013 for the first time in six-years he had revealed he was a father to two children, one of them being Sam. However he was reluctant to introduce the children to Hayley, as she was actually a man - Christian's father - who felt it was too soon for them to know about this.

In December Christian had returned to ask Hayley for money. He then offered to introduce her to her grandchildren, and later brought Sam along with his sister to Roy's Rolls and introduced Hayley to them. Sam sat in the cafe with Maisie and Hayley's husband Roy whilst Hayley had a chat with Christian upstairs. Once he had gotten a cheque, he took Sam and Maisie and left.
