Corrie Spoilers 3rd Jan - 7th January 2022

[Perdita]

Coronation Street's Tim Metcalfe will face a worrying start to 2022 as he receives some big news about his health, which he tries to keep a secret from wife Sally.

The soap previously worked with the British Heart Foundation on a storyline that saw Tim (Joe Duttine) have a heart attack in 2019, causing him to rethink his habits and lifestyle, and now his heart health will be revisited again as part of a new storyline.

As the new year dawns, Tim and Sally (Sally Dynevor) decide to embark on a new health regime and kick things off with a vitamin-packed smoothie.

Tim also reveals to Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) that he has booked both himself and Sally in for thorough health checks with Dr Gaddas (Christine Mackie) as part of their new regime.

After the couple has been for their health checks, Sally reckons that they deserve a treat for successfully passing all the checks. However, Tim is reluctant and it becomes clear that he's hiding something. He later furtively takes a call confirming another appointment, with Sally none the wiser.

Later in the week, Sally's disappointed when her husband refuses to join her for a run, telling her that he has to work instead. Later, he receives a text confirming that he has a cardiology appointment booked at 3pm.

When Sally then finds out from Peter that Tim lied about having to work that day, she feels troubled.

Meanwhile, a nervous Tim attends his appointment with the cardiology consultant, who explains that he is going to need an angiogram. Tim rushes out of the appointment, dropping his wallet on the way.

When nurse Aggie Bailey (Lorna Laidlaw) later returns Tim's wallet to him at home, he asks her not to say anything to Sally about the appointment as he doesn't want to worry her. Sally, meanwhile, is concerned that Tim might be too embarrassed to be seen out with her.

She later insists that Tim come out on a run with her but, worried about his heart, Tim makes slow progress and lets Sally go on ahead of him.

After Tim continues to refuse to share his health news with Sally, Aggie secretly attends his next medical appointment with him.

Tim is shocked when the consultant informs him that he needs a triple heart bypass, adding that if he doesn't have the operation, his next heart attack could be fatal. Tim struggles to cope with the unexpected diagnosis and remains in denial about the situation, despite Aggie imploring him to listen to the consultant's words.

Back at home, Sally feels hurt when Tim turns down her invitation for them to enjoy a sexy night together.

Will Tim find the courage to confide in his wife or could his secrecy cause trouble in their marriage?

Coronation Street airs these scenes in the week commencing Monday, January 3 on ITV.
