Despite being happily married to the most popular woman in Weatherfield, Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) is in search of something new in upcoming Coronation Street episodes.
Don’t worry, he has no intention of betraying Sally (Sally Dynevor). In fact, he wants them to conquer a challenge together.
A few months ago, the couple were on hand to try and support Mason Radcliffe (Luca Toolan) shortly before he died.
The teenager was sleeping in Tim and Sally’s shed and was eventually allowed to kip on their sofa. They proved to be a great influence on Mason, who was trying to turn his life around at the time.
Sadly, his hopes of staying on that path of redemption got ripped away when he was stabbed to death.
It’s perhaps spending time with Mason that has influenced Tim’s idea as in upcoming episodes, he talks to Sally about fostering.
They decide they don’t want to look after a young child like Hope (Isabella Flanagan), but have no idea she’s overhearing their conversation.
Later on, in the garden, as Tim and Sal continue talking about becoming foster parents, Hope and Ruby (Billie Naylor) send a water balloon over the fence, hitting them both!
In the week, despite Sally making her reservations about the fostering idea, Tim heads online and secretly books himself in for an information session.
Going down this path without Sally knowing definitely isn’t the best idea – but will she eventually agree with Tim’s plan?
