The hit and run on Tyrone Dobbs continues to have major ramifications next week on Coronation Street, as an incredibly alarming symptom results in major surgery next week

The hit and run on Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) continues to have major ramifications next week on Coronation Street, as an incredibly alarming symptom results in major surgery next week.

Poor Ty was in the wrong place at the wrong time this week as Dylan Wilson (Liam McCheyne) and Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) stole a car for Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) as part of his car-theft racket.

When the teens noticed they were careening toward Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin), they swerved sharply, ploughing straight into Tyrone.

As paramedics swarmed, Ty was taken directly to hospital, with Carla Connor (Alison King) left to break the news to his devastated wife, Fiz (Jennie McAlpine)

As Tyrone comes around in hospital, he’s clearly incredibly agitated and urgently tells Fiz he needs to see a doctor.

Speaking on Tyrone’s state when he comes round, Alan said: ‘As he’s coming round and he’s clearly in lots of pain, he has this realisation that something isn’t quite right and he can’t feel his legs. There’s just a hell of a lot of fear, wondering how he’s got there, why he’s feeling like this. He is terrified.’

On his immediate fears, Alan said: ‘Initially, there is a concern that he might not get up at all. There’s real fear there, and not just fear from Tyrone but fear from Fiz and the kids and his mum and gran.

They don’t know if he’ll walk again or how life is going to look going forward. But he knows they will all try to stick together and face what the future holds.’

As the doctor informs Tyrone that he’ll need emergency surgery, leaving him, quite understandably, terrified.

Speaking on the research both he and the show have done on Tyrone’s condition, Alan said: ‘The show’s brilliant at doing the research. The thing is with a spinal injury, though, is that they’re different for every single person.

‘So speaking to the medical professionals who are on set, I’m wanting to know ‘how much can I turn my shoulders? How much can I turn my head?

‘But everybody has a different reaction to their surgery, and therefore there is no real timeline. It means that we don’t have to be so specific, because that could also bring its challenges.

‘But it’s being aware that there are people at home who this has happened to for real. The charity is also arranging for us to meet someone who has been living through a similar situation so it will be invaluable to get some insight from them.’
