ITV Coronation Streetspoilers and updates reveal that Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dyvenor) will confront Geoff Metcalfe (Ian Barthomolew) about his abuse. When Geoff flips out and unleashes his rage on a terrified Sally, Tim Metcalfe (Jim Duttine) walks in and catches him in the act! Will this finally convince Tim that his father is a dangerous monster? Keep reading for more details.
Coronation Street Updates – Confronting A Monster
Corrie spoilers reveal that Sally goes behind Tim’s back and secretly visits Yasmeen Metcalfe (Shelley King) while she is sitting behind bars waiting for her trial. She will learn a lot about what went on behind closed doors. She will also get the details about that magic box.
As fans recall, Geoff was angry that his wife “ruined” the magic trick and he was laughed at. He punished her by intentionally locking her inside the box. Yasmeen was left all alone inside that locked box until Tim walked in and got her out.
Viewers may remember Tim telling Sally about the incident, but nothing really came out of it. Now, Sally is going to learn the truth about that horrifying day.
Geoff Metcalfe’s Rage
In upcoming episodes, expect Sally to learn the truth and bravely confront Geoff. However, she doesn’t expect his reaction. When he lashes out and spews his fury on the woman, Geoff thinks he is putting Sally in her place, and nobody will ever believe her. But then, the unexpected happens.
Corrie Spoilers – Tim Metcalfe Witnesses The Unthinkable
Coronation Street spoilers reveal that Geoff rages at Sally and threatens her. Cowering in the corner and visibly frightened, she doesn’t know if Geoff is going to viciously attack her. Then, Tim saves the day by leaping into action! He walks in and catches his father terrorizing his wife.
What Happens Next?
The Daily Star pondered whether this would be enough to get Tim to see the truth about his father. Unfortunately, don’t count on it. During a previous interview, Duttine explained that the only thing that removes Tim’s blinders is finding out what his mother went through while in a relationship with Geoff.
Even then, the father/son relationship is fractured, but it still doesn’t bring Tim to Yasmeen’s side. But it does show him the real Geoff. Knowing the abusive manipulator, he will come up with a way to justify his actions to Sally, just like he has with everything else.
The Road to Coronation Street was shown for the first time on ITV last night. It originally aired on BBC Four 10 years ago.
The feature-length drama showed how the soap came to be, with creator Tony Warren, producer Harry Elton, and director Derek Bennett fighting to get it made.
We saw the casting process as some now iconic characters were cast. These including Ken Barlow actor William Roache. At the time William insisted it was only 13 episodes and he wouldn’t be tied down to it!

Viewers who had seen it the first time, plus those coming to it new, were left in awe. But in particular they picked out Jessie Wallace’s performance.
EastEnders legend Jessie played Pat Phoenix, aka Elsie Tanner, in the drama documenting the beginnings of the world’s longest-running soap opera.
What did viewers say about The Road to Coronation Street?
Jessie, known for her hardcore East End accent and leopard print looks as Kat Slater in the Walford-set soap, wowed with her ability to put on a ‘perfect’ Manchester accent.
@JessieWallaceUK you are OUTSTANDING as Pat Phoenix. From a born & bred Manc please take this as a compliment! We are bloody picky about these things! ♥️ #TheRoadtocoronationstreet
Other cast who won praise for their performances included David Dawson as Tony Warren, for example, and Lynda Baron as Violet Carson, aka, Ena Sharples.

How long has Coronation Street been running?
Head of Continuing Drama at ITV John Whiston recently revealed to Entertainment Daily! and other media at a virtual press event, that this was because they had “banked a whole load of episodes” ahead of filming for the 60th.

Show boss Ian MacLeod also revealed the 60th anniversary episodes will now be stripped back.
“What we have had to strip out for our 60th is the Hollywood spectacular elements. We didn’t have the time to build and install what we had originally planned to do.
“We have discovered what’s below all those layers of Hollywood spectacular is three or four layers of really good stories. There’s a strong community story, which is actually something that’s had a bit of a resurgence under lockdown.
“We’ve got a huge human interest story which emerges from something on screen now which has been engaging. We’ve got the classic salacious love triangle also in there.
“We have stripped away the crash, bang, wallop but what we’ve been left with is essential soap viewing.
“If we lockdown again, we will still have those episodes, it just won’t broadcast in our 60th week. It’ll broadcast slight later in the year or early in 2021. But I am fairly optimisitc that we can hit some classic Corrie episodes for the anniversary and Christmas.”

The Coronation Street star, 21, who plays Craig Tinker on the soap, overhauled his fitness regime last year after a nasty bout of food poisoning from a dodgy prawn made him shed one-and-a-half stone.
Colson’s followers rushed to congratulate him on his efforts in the comments, with one fan telling the star he is ‘giving Adele a run for her money’.

A way with the ladies: Colson’s character Craig has had his fair share of the ladies while on Coronation Street – pictured here kissing Kayla, played by Mollie Winward
He also asked his fans for some isolation workout inspiration, writing on one social media snap: ‘Everyday = A Joggers day. Isolation inspiration – Talk to me Gram!
‘I wanna hear what all of yous are doing while socially distancing. Tell me your new positive goals and hobbies in this weird time?!’
He also shared another running pic and wrote: ‘Home workout number 57364 ✔️✔️What are you guys upto??.’
Fans soon flooded the comment section of his latest snaps. One wrote: ‘looking super fit’, while another follower added: ‘looking great!’.
A third Corrie fan chimed: ‘You look amazing, all the hard work is paying off xx’.
‘You look amazing, well done’, typed another one of Colson’s followers.

Colson previously revealed he lost one and a half stone in December after he got food poisoning while holidaying in Thailand.
Speaking on his podcast Sofa Cinema Club – which he hosts with co-stars Jack P Shepherd and Ben Price, Colson said: ‘I was in Ko Lanta.
‘I was sat on the beach and the waiter came over and was like, “What would you like?” And I said, “I’ll have the prawns to start please.”

Going wild: The two were pictured out on a night on the tiles in Manchester in 2018 (left) and (right) all dressed up for a night out in October
Open: Colson has been very happy to discuss the changes he has made to his lifestyle on social media (pictured back in 2018 with his co-star Alan Halsall, who plays Tyrone Dobbs)
‘I had avoided seafood [on Ben’s advice] but I was sat on the beach and I was like, “How can you not have seafood on the beach?”
‘Well, anyway. I’m not doing that again. I’ve lost about a stone and a half.’
Colson said he was only able to eat to a banana and three slices of toast in the week after eating the dodgy prawns.
Since then, the star has littered his Instagram with pictures of him in sports gear and has of course adopted a much healthier eating plan than just eating toast.
Colson joined Coronation Street as 12-year-old back in 2011 along with his mother Beth, [Lisa George], and his pet rat, who was called Darryl.
His character became a much-loved part of the soap after he joined the police and helped Bethany Platt, (Lucy Fallon), to bring down her rapist.
After becoming firm friends, the couple briefly dated one another.
Colson and Lucy became good friends in real life and were often pictured on nights out together in Manchester.
The actor was cast on the show after being spotted at Northern Film and Drama classes.
In 2016 it was revealed he had already shed three and half stone after hitting the gym and being put on a strict diet.
And it seems as though he worked even harder on his own personal goals from 2019 onwards.
Good work: Fans soon flooded the comment section. One wrote: ‘looking super fit’, while another follower added: ‘looking great!’

Shona was shot on Christmas Day and eventually went into a coma. When she woke up, she had no memory of her life with David and his children Max and Lily.
All she seemed to remember is her own son Clayton, who killed David’s first wife Kylie and took Shona hostage last year.

Unable to remember all the bad things he’s done, or the fact she disowned him, Shona started contacting him again.
It was also revealed she wants to divorce David, leaving him heartbroken.
So happy @KatiexMcGlynn won, she was absolutely brilliant in Sinead’s storyline, utterly heartbreaking
So glad she won, very well played, had me a right mess during the storyline, but so true to life
I do enjoy the #NTAs Not surprised that Katie McGlynn won, she thoroughly deserves that award. Personally, I couldn’t watch her final scenes had to turn off half way through. Too close to home. Well done @KatiexMcGlynn
Couldn’t be happier seeing @KatiexMcGlynn win that award! Thoroughly deserved. What a beautiful person inside & out! Congratulations Katie #Corrie#NTAs
Harsh judgment, considering all the incredible work she put into the storyline.
