Coronation Street Fans Fixate on Sally and Tim’s Age Gap as Grooming Storyline Intensifies

Tim rejects the grooming label over a past teenage encounter even as he decides to cut contact with the older woman involved.

Overview

  • Sally Metcalfe, played by Sally Dynevor since 1986, is being discussed by viewers who note she is older than husband Tim, citing birth years 1967 and 1972.
  • Recent episodes show Tim crossing paths with Trisha, who he says took his virginity in the 1980s when he was 14 and she was in her 20s.
  • Sally and Brian insist the relationship was grooming because Tim was underage, a view Tim disputes by calling the encounter consensual.
  • Brian confronts Trisha over the allegation, and Sally later sees a social media comment urging punishment for Trisha’s past actions.
  • Despite maintaining his stance, Tim informs Trisha he will no longer be in contact, signaling a break while the storyline continues.
