Throughout his whole life, Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) has believed his dad Geoff (Ian Bartholomew) to be a kind hearted and gentle man, little knowing that he has been gas lit his entire life by a monster.
But tonight as he discovered the truth about the abuser, Coronation Street fans for cheering him on as he let rip at Geoff, letting him know what he thinks of him.
Sally (Sally Dynevor) had managed to get hold of Geoff’s laptop and escaped the house, despite his vicious threats.
And when Tim and Sally saw the footage of the abused Yasmeen (Shelley King) was subjected to, Tim’s world came crashing down as he realised how horrific his own father was.
Of course, Geoff tried his best to lie his way out of it, but Tim was not having it and he disowned him, chucking him out and leaving him without any allies.
And fans were so proud of him.
Bravo Joe Duttine! Perfectly nuanced acting as Tim tonight. The dawning realisation of Geoff’s cruelty was tangible. #Corrie

Meanwhile, Metro.co.uk reader Jane messaged us, adding: ‘I really felt for Tim when he found out the awful truth about his dad from the laptop. Surely it`s only a matter of time before Geoff will go to jail.
‘It also seems that Tim has turned his back on him,something that abusive people hate as the supply has stopped. I am glad that Tim knows the truth now.’
But will this be enough to liberate Yasmeen and give her justice?
Or does slippery Geoff have more tricks up his sleeve?
