CORONATION STREET

MONDAY, WEDNESDAY & FRIDAY / ITV / 7.30PM / SOAP

As Yasmeen’s attack on abusive hubby Geoff continues to send shock waves across the cobbles, it’s not just the locked-up pensioner who is feeling the strain.

Geoff’s son Tim and daughter in-Sally are forming different opinions about what went on next door, and it’s causing friction in their normally solid relationship.

TV Times caught up with stars Joe Duttine, 49, and Sally Dynevor, 57, to discuss the much-praised plot, and find out how they’re feeling about the soap’s return to filming...

‘He might be gullible, but he’s not stupid’

JOE DUTTINE (TIM)

Does Tim believe Geoff is innocent, or is he having doubts?

At this stage, he wants to believe his dad – how could this man he has loved all his life do such a thing? Others on the Street are saying different, but when people are attacked, they defend. Alya is getting on Tim’s nerves; she’s far too gobby. I think maybe what Eileen has said has made him think a little, but when people plant these seeds in his mind, he squares it with himself and dismisses it.

How does he feel about the fact Sally sees things differently?
