ITV soap Coronation Street is getting ready to celebrate Christmas with the long-anticipated wedding of Fiz Stape and Tyrone Dobbs.
These two have been in a will-they-won’t-they relationship for years, getting really close to walk down the aisle on several occasions. It seems like this time it is truly happening, with Fiz actress Jennie McAlpine discussing a potential Easter egg for fans.
The Corrie star has shared her hopes to find Fiz’s ring from her previous engagement to Tyrone (Alan Halsall).
“In the precinct did you see there’s a pawnshop? Do you remember about five years ago Tyrone and Fiz got engaged and they had to pawn Fiz’s engagement ring? So I’m wondering if it’s in there somewhere,” she explained.
“I didn’t actually get an engagement ring this time but I think apart from that a fresh start is hopeful.”

Despite having been on-off together for decades — their first kiss dates back to 21 years ago — there has never been a wedding between Fiz and Tyrone. Yet.
“I mean, we live in Weatherfield. Possibly we’ve got close and every time we get close to some stability in life it goes wrong with our family,” McAlpine said.
As for shooting the actual scenes, the actress burst the bubble of those who may think filming a wedding may be as magical as the real thing.
“It was freezing on the day we filmed it and you can’t get a thermal vest under the wedding dress. And they take forever, soap weddings. I’m so ungrateful! I’m very grateful for the storyline. But is it fun? Is it ‘eckers.”
