Coronation Street star Alan Halsall has teased a huge twist coming for Evelyn Plummer. The actor plays Evelyn’s grandson Tyrone Dobbs on the ITV soap.
Soap fans know Tyrone has recently reunited with his birth mother Cassie, who Evelyn told him had died. The lie has cost the pair their previously close relationship.
However fans also know that Cassie has been lying about being clean from drugs. And she has been manipulating her son in the hopes of keeping him away from Evelyn.
Now actor Alan has teased there’s a huge twist coming – and it’s Evelyn’s fault. He told Inside Soap: “Although Evelyn keeps saying Cassie’s going to bring problems to the door, Evelyn is about to do something which causes them all huge problems. And Tyrone then tries to pick up the pieces of the family.”
He added: “He’s trying to keep hold of Evelyn and Cassie, and pin them down into being good. I think he’ll struggle with that. He’s trying to please everybody and I’m not sure he can. A few times he’s thought he’s going to wash his hands of all this but he can’t – this is what he’s longed for…”
Coronation Street shock from Evelyn Plummer
Recently Tyrone made the decision to protect Cassie despite his own daughter Hope finding her collapsed on the floor after an overdose. Actor Alan told how Tyrone was “devastated” by the scenes.
He said: “Tyrone’s devastated for many reasons. His mum is on the floor collapsed and needs an ambulance which is scary for everyone. He doesn’t really know what’s going on but is also trying to protect Hope and what she’s seen. He also feels let down and betrayed by his Mum. It’s a real whirlwind of emotions and Tyrone is so shocked by it all because even in the back of his mind, he probably thought something like this could happen. He also wanted to believe so much that he wouldn’t.”

Poor Tyrone!
