Sally Metcalfe makes horrifying discovery about husband Tim in Coronation Street

TIM and Sally Metcalfe are ready to celebrate their wedding anniversary.

But when her husband is nowhere to be seen, the Coronation Street stalwart played by Sally Dynevor realises something has gone wrong.

Plans are being made for Tim and Sally’s wedding anniversary but Stephen Reid’s downfall is due to shake things up for the lovebirds.

As regular viewers of the ITV soap will remember, Tim (portrayed by Joe Duttine) and Sally were married a first time in 2015 but she found out he was still married to Charlie Wood, whom he had wed in Las Vegas in 2004.

The pair tied the knot once again in 2020 and have more or less been going strong ever since.

However, there’s trouble in the air next week when Tim is distracted from Sally’s plans for their wedding anniversary.

It all begins when a passing mention from Brian Packham (Peter Gunn) of Stephen’s interest in the canal dredging project gets the cogs whirring.

Later on, Tim decides to go on his own mission, despite the risk of having to face his wife’s wrath.

This leads a furious Sally to assume that Tim has gone to the county match with Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell).

Soon enough, she confronts Kevin about Tim and their match but the mechanic tells her that the cabbie never attended the event with him and Kirk Sutherland.

Sally begins to panic and Elaine Jones (Paula Wilcox) doesn’t make things any better as she reports the Platts believe Stephen murdered anybody who got in his way.

She begins to feel sick when she realises that Tim was one such person.

The Underworld machinery supervisor and local politician will most probably find out she is right to worry.

On the canal towpath, after his conversation with Brian, Tim finds a discarded boat hook and starts poking about in the water.

He’s horrified when a corpse’s hand floats to the surface – Teddy Thompkins’ body is found. 

Fleeing back to his cab, Tim dials 999 and reports finding a dead body. 

But the phone cuts out and before he can call back, Tim’s aghast when Stephen climbs into the back seat of the cab.

As Stephen tries to strangle him with a tie, Tim makes a bid for freedom but trips on his shoelace.

He tries to clamber up to his feet but he’s knocked unconscious by Stephen with a brick.

Later on, as Sally is left seething in the belief Tim has made no effort for their anniversary, Tim is fighting for his life in the boot of his car which is being doused in petrol by Stephen.

Will Tim be Stephen’s fourth victim?

Coronation Street airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8pm on ITV.
