Tyrone left clutching the only thing his mum had left him – a VHS tape – and Darren clearly knew what was on the tape.
However, as the mystery surrounding the VHS thickened, Corrie fans fixated on one thing they couldn’t get their heads around – how young Darren looked!
In fact, many believed he looked the same age as – if not younger than – his son Tyrone!
One fan joked: “‘Me dad’ lol, looks the same age.”

In a shocking family secret buried for years, Tyrone discovered that the people who he thought were his parents had actually abducted him.
Darren confessed that, after a boozy night out, Jackie had stolen a baby.
He said: “I like you Tyrone, but I’m not your dad. We got bumped up the council waiting list and you were a good kid.
“I wouldn’t lie about this. Not now. I hope you find out where you’re from.”
So who are Ty’s real parents?
Next week, after doing some digging, Tyrone tracks down his biological grandmother, Evelyn Plummer (Maureen Lipman).
And, unlucky for Ty and Fiz, she proves to be the battleaxe from hell!
