Coronation Street viewers beg Tim to ‘open his eyes’ as Elaine reveals her true identity

Tim thinks his dad was abused by Yasmeen

Coronation Street viewers have begged for Tim Metcalfe to ‘open his eyes’ after Elaine revealed her identity to him.

For over a year, Tim’s dad Geoff has been abusing his wife Yasmeen. However it’s become apparent in recent episodes that Yasmeen isn’t his first victim.

Recently a woman named Elaine came into the picture and revealed to Alya she is Tim’s biological mother.

In last night’s episode (Wednesday, July 29), Elaine went to Tim and told him who she really is.

She told him that she is Geoff’s first wife, her real name is Philippa and Geoff told people she had died.

She revealed to Tim she is his mother.

Tim insisted that Geoff’s wife, Tess, was his mother, but Elaine revealed Tess was her best friend and Geoff was having an affair with her whilst Elaine was married to him.

However, unable to hear the truth, Tim threw her out of the cab office.

Ugh, open your eyes man!

He tells Geoff that if he sees her again he will call the police and Geoff breathes a secret sigh of relief.
