Coronation Street viewers are speculating that Tyrone Dobbs, a long-standing character on the soap, is about to embark on an unexpected affair.
Tyrone, portrayed by Alan Halsall, has been a fixture on the show since 1998 and has been involved in numerous major plotlines. His character's journey in Weatherfield has been filled with drama.
From being a victim of domestic abuse to recently discovering his biological mother after more than three decades, he's not had it plain sailing on the cobbles.
Tyrone has also experienced several failed relationships, including with Maria (played by Samia Longchambon) and a disastrous marriage to Molly Compton (Vicky Binns).
At present, he is married to Fiz (Jennie McAlpine), but viewers are predicting a surprise affair between Tyrone and an unlikely resident of the cobbles. Fans will remember that Tyrone's close friend and colleague Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) is currently battling cancer.
Diagnosed earlier this year with testicular cancer, Kevin has started chemotherapy and has been pushing away those closest to him, including his wife Abi (Sally Carman).
After a recent altercation at the Rovers, where Kevin punched Tyrone, the two managed to reconcile. However, following a deep conversation between Tyrone and Abi, fans are anticipating a potential affair between the pair, reports Leicestershire Live.
Corrie enthusiasts think Tyrone Dobbs and Abi Franklin are set for a scandalous liaison, given their history of infidelity.
Back in 2021, Abi's fling with Imran Habeeb resulted in baby Alfie, while Tyrone's steamy affair with Alina Pop brought little Dorin into the world.
A savvy fan on a Coronation Street Facebook group speculated: "Tyrone and Abi are definitely going to sleep together."
Sparking agreement among the community, as others echoed, "I said the same" and, "They both have form so it wouldn't surprise me." Another concurred, "Looks like it."
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX
