In Coronation Street tonight Tyrone is about to discover something we’ve known for a while – cue that adorable dumb(founded) face he’s given to pulling.
The drama unfolds as he leaves Evelyn a message letting her know about the girls’ show and how much it would mean to them to have her there.
Meanwhile Evelyn is moving into a rented flat with Cassie – superbly played by Claire Sweeney – at the precinct. When she picks up Tyrone’s message, Evelyn tells her addict daughter she can’t go to the gig as she won’t leave her alone.
Cassie does, however, manage to persuade her mum to let her out to buy a coffee – arguing she has been clean for weeks now.
When Evelyn realises her purse has left the flat as well as Cassie, she fears – reasonably – that she has gone to score.
But Cassie is at the Bistro, where she bumps into Tyrone – who of course thinks her name is Cath and she is James’ friend. He asks ‘Cath’ if she’s heard anything from Evelyn.
Speak of the devil, Evelyn then appears – breathless and in a flap – just as Cassie drops the almighty bombshell on Tyrone that she is his mother!
Well, you can imagine how that goes down…
