Gail Vella is still alive: Is it true? John Corbett was an undercover cop in series five who had his throat slit, leaving behind a wife, two daughters, and a mysterious link to a woman, Anne-Marie, whom fans claim could also be Davidson's mother.
He was shot in the mouth in a staged suicide in season four.
While she was there, she was coached and mentored by another Nottingham born actress Samantha Morton.
