He had romances with Maria Sutherland and briefly with Fiz before getting engaged to Molly Compton.
Tyrone and Molly
After they tied the knot, Ty and Molly’s relationship ran into trouble when she began an affair with Kevin Webster.
She left Tyrone for a while but when she found out she was pregnant, she moved back home and the pair were thrilled when little Jack arrived. But Tyrone wasn’t aware that the baby could be Kevin’s.
He was devastated when Molly revealed the truth shortly before she was killed in the dramatic Corrie tram crash in December 2010.
Kevin and Sally split, and Kev took on the care of his son.
Ty’s domestic violence ordeal
Tyrone Dobbs in Coronation Street met policewoman Kirsty Soames in a bar and the pair quickly fell in love.
But Kirsty had a dark side, firstly warning Ty to stay away from friend Fiz, and then threatening another friend Tina McIntyre.
Kirsty got pregnant but her erratic temper continued to cause problems for poor Ty and she began physically attacking him.
And when baby Ruby was born, Kirsty continued abusing Tyrone. She was jealous of other women and resented him giving up work to care for their daughter. She eventually convinced everyone that Ty was abusing her and he went on trial.
But Kirsty ‘fessed up to her crimes in court, Tyrone was released and she went to prison instead. She died recently and Tyrone went to her funeral.
Tyrone and Fiz and the girls
Tyrone and Fiz have been through all sorts of drama since they blended their family. Little Hope was diagnosed with cancer and the family’s determination to have a perfect Christmas plunged them into financial difficulties.
And later, Hope’s behavioural troubles drove a wedge between Fiz and Tyrone.
