 There was an unexpected appearance from a beloved cast member in Monday (September 11)'s episode of Coronation Street, when Evelyn (Maureen Lipman) persuaded Tyrone (Alan Halsall) that he needed to keep his wife Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) briefed about the latest goings-on in Weatherfield. Last week Hope (Isabella Flanagan) and Tyrone were shocked to find Tyrone's mum, Cassie (Claire Sweeney), slumped in the street after having overdosed. Cassie then manipulated Tyrone into taking her side against Evelyn, who warned him that he needed to put his daughters first and keep Cassie away from them. The result was that Tyrone decided to let Cassie stay at his house, while Evelyn packed her bags and moved to the precinct flat. In this episode, Evelyn spoke to Fiz on the phone and, following this conversation, she told Tyrone that he should really tell Fiz what had been going on with Cassie because she had a right to know about things that affected her daughter. Evelyn was not going to take no for an answer from Tyrone. 'I'll say it again – this time in Romanian,' she insisted, alluding to Tyrone's affair with Alina Pop (Ruxandra Porojnicu) and how much devastation could be caused by keeping secrets. 'Fiz has a right to know the facts,' Roy (David Neilson) agreed. Fiz is currently living in Norfolk, where she took a high-paid job as supervisor in an Underworld factory. This storyline was to cover for Jennie McAlpine's absence as she went on maternity leave.
