Is he heading to prison? <\/p>
Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) found himself facing jail time in tonight\u2019s Coronation Street<\/a> (19th July), as he was arrested for attacking serial killer Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce).<\/p>\n Stephen had been plotting to kill his fianc\u00e9e<\/a>, Tim\u2019s mother Elaine Jones (Paula Wilcox), on a trip to the Peak District \u2013 and tonight we saw him considering life after her death as he read an apt line from a poem.<\/p>\n While Elaine was none the wiser at this point, the situation took an almighty turn when she popped over to see Stephen\u2019s sister, Gail Rodwell (Helen Worth), who was looking over old photos.<\/p>\n When she was shown one of Stephen with his ex-wife, Gabrielle (Helene Maksoud), Elaine rushed away, pretending to Stephen, who was waiting outside, that she needed to go to the shop.<\/p>\n Having already caught a glimpse of Gabrielle on a Zoom call with Stephen, who told her that the woman was a business associate, Elaine realised that something was very wrong. Tim found her in the gardens, where she confided that Stephen was a liar.<\/p>\n Tim and Elaine headed back to her flat, where he broke into the box Stephen had been using to conceal documents. There, the pair found the forged life insurance paperwork, which Elaine was adamant she had never signed.<\/p>\n Tim urged his mum to wait at his house, while he stuck around to confront Stephen.<\/p>\n But their row ended in violence as, after Tim pinned Stephen to the wall, the latter banged his head on the metal staircase after Tim pushed him. Stephen shouted at Tim to leave, only to later collapse in the street with a head injury.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p>\n Stephen was found by nephew David Platt (Jack P Shepherd), who called an ambulance and suspected his uncle had been assaulted.<\/p>\n As Tim explained what had happened to Elaine, and his wife Sally (Sally Dynevor), Elaine dodged calls and messages from Stephen\u2019s family.<\/p>\n Stephen now had a serious head injury and had been taken into surgery, and police detective Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) arrived to take a statement from David.<\/p>\n Later, Craig and his colleague arrived to see Tim, telling him that he had been spotted emerging from Stephen\u2019s flat on CCTV.<\/p>\n Craig then arrested Tim for GBH \u2013 but will this end up as a murder charge if Stephen doesn\u2019t pull through? And will Stephen\u2019s own actions ever be exposed?<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Coronation Street airs weeknights on ITV.
