This evening, Trisha recognised Tim Metcalfe at the Fresho car park as she peered into his car window.
Tim took a short moment to recognise her but his memory eventually came back to him.
It turned out that Trisha was someone Tim used to date back in the 80s.
After this encounter, Trisha then turned up at the Rovers and had a drink and a catch up with Tim.
The problem was that Tim had cancelled his anniversary plans with Sally Metcalfe to hang out with the lads. But, instead he ended up chatting to his ex…
Kevin watched the pair interact and was livid, telling Tim that Sally wouldn’t be impressed. And, he was right with his predictions.
When Tim returned home, Sally told Tim that he could sleep on the sofa while she had a nice bath and an early night.
