Gilly's always been known as a bit of a sensitive soul, but in recent times we've seen a more destructive, aggressive side to his character. He lost his wife Steph to a fire at Il Gnosh last year, (only after she had been diagnosed with cancer!) and her death left him reeling; drinking, violence and all kinds of other nastiness.
Other notable moments in the life of Gilly include finding out that his best friend Rhys was having an affair with his fiancé Beth (Rhys' half sister), and Beth's subsequent death.
More recently, he responded in kind by sleeping with Rhys' fiancé Jacqui McQueen. After the event she accused him of rape! He was found not guilty by a jury, but the audience are still unsure where the truth lies and in the process of the court case Gilly ended up losing his best mate...
