CORONATION STREET
MONDAY-FRIDAY / ITV / 7.30PM / SOAP
A year is a long time in soap, and 2021 isn’t one that Weatherfield’s Tyrone and Fiz are likely to forget. Back in April, the normally dependable Ty left his partner shell-shocked after walking out on her and their daughters Hope and Ruby to be with twentysomething beautician Alina.
The mechanic has since realised that his heart lies at No.9, but Fiz has moved on and has a new man in her life, Phill. As Christmas approaches, can Tyrone make her see that they belong together? Or is a festive reunion one wish that Santa just can’t fulfil?
TV Times caught up with stars Alan Halsall, 39, and Jennie McAlpine, 37, to find out more...
How would you sum up 2021 for Fiz and Tyrone, and where are their heads at this Christmas?
JENNIE Their split was a total shock to Fiz, because she thought everything was fine. She has cracked on, but I don’t think Fiz would necessarily think she has done a good job, given Hope’s behaviour, and she has had a lot of help from [Tyrone’s gran] Evelyn.
At Christmas, she is in a pretty good place. This wasn’t her plan, but she’s trying to make the best of things. She’s got lovely Phill – although his mother [Mimi] is not so lovely! – and she’s trying to co-parent with Tyrone. It’s not what she wanted, but she has learnt, ‘I’m OK, I can do this.’
ALAN Tyrone thought he was making all the right decisions, and it turned out he was making all the wrong ones. He thought the grass was greener and it wasn’t, and it was mistake after mistake. So it’s been a real lesson for Tyrone this year.
