Gavin Rodwell is the son of Michael Rodwell. When Gavin was only three years old, his mother and father split up and he hadn't seen his dad since. Years later Michael would regret losing contact with his son and still held him in his thoughts.

After discovering he had a hereditary heart condition, Michael attempted to get in contact with Gavin in late 2014. After obtaining Gavin's address from his last-known workplace, he put a note through the letterbox. However this note was discovered by Gavin's flatmate Andy Carver who was solely residing at the address at that time as Gavin had run off with Andy's girlfriend. Hearing stories from Gavin on how Michael was a useless father, Andy took on Gavin's identity and met Michael at Just Nick's as part of a joke. However seeing how sincere and sorry Michael was for abandoning Gavin, Andy continued to keep up the act and found himself stuck. Andy attempted to contact Gavin on numerous occasions, especially after finding out about the hereditary heart condition - however to no avail.

In January 2015, Andy confessed to Just Nick's colleague and girlfriend Steph Britton (who believed he was called Gavin) about his true identity. She decided to keep it a secret as Michael was to undergo heart surgery.

A photo of Gavin as a baby could be seen in Michael's flat in July 2014.
