Old Memories, New Trouble
In the latest Coronation Street episode, Tim Metcalfe’s routine cab shift took an unexpected turn when he picked up a fare who seemed to know him well. The passenger, Trisha Pinkerton, wasn’t just any old acquaintance. As the ride went on, a spark of recognition flashed across Tim’s face, and it hit him—she was someone from his distant past.

By the time Tim clocked off, the encounter had faded from his mind. Returning home, he was ready to celebrate his anniversary with Sally. But plans shifted when Sally insisted he check in on a downbeat Kevin Webster. What started as a friendly drink soon became a night Tim wouldn’t forget.

The Past Walks into the Rovers
At the Rovers Return, Tim’s night took another twist. Across the bar stood Trisha. She waved, and the sight of her immediately stirred curiosity among his mates. Laughs and teasing followed when Tim revealed they’d once dated. But while the jokes flowed freely, Kevin’s mood darkened. Still reeling from his breakup with Abi, Kevin lashed out, accusing Tim of flirting with his ex on his anniversary.

Gemma Winter stepped in to calm things down, but the damage was done. The men eventually eased the tension with another round, unaware of the storm brewing back home.

Sally’s Fury and a Painful Revelation
When Tim finally stumbled in, Sally’s patience had run dry. The dinner she’d cooked was cold, and her husband’s excuses only made things worse. When Tim admitted he’d been chatting with Trisha—his ex—it was the final straw. Furious and hurt, Sally told him to sleep on the sofa.

Yet the real heartbreak is still to come. In upcoming scenes, the truth about Tim and Trisha’s past will be laid bare. Confiding in Brian Packham, Tim recalls their time together in the 1980s, revealing he was just 14 while Trisha was 20. Shocked, Brian insists Tim was groomed. But Tim refuses to see it that way, even defending Trisha when Brian confronts her.

When Sally learns the truth, she sides with Brian, explaining that what happened was abuse, not love. As Tim struggles to accept this painful reality, Sally and Brian will fight to help him see the past for what it truly was.
