Coronation Street‘s Fiz Dobbs has a major meltdown next week, as the stress of caring for her husband Tyrone takes its toll. Run ragged at home, she takes her frustrations out at work – and starts trashing the factory.

“We’ve all got our tipping point – and we’re about to see Fiz’s,” our Corrie source explains. “She’s been close to the edge for weeks, and not just because of Ty’s condition – the whole family is getting on her nerves. What consequences will there be after her moment of rage?”

What to Read Next

When Tyrone was mown down in a hit-and-run, he suffered some extremely serious injuries. At one point it looked as though he may never walk again, but while doctors are hopeful of a full recovery, progress has been slow.

Adapting to using a wheelchair and struggling with day-to-day tasks has been tough for Tyrone, and this has put pressure on Fiz to care for her other half.

So after another manic morning chez Dobbs, Fiz loses her rag with Hope and Ruby when the siblings start squabbling yet again.

Tyrone makes a half-baked attempt to stop the girls tearing strips off each other. When his pleas are ignored, Fiz is forced to intervene, and rants that she’s had enough of having to sort everything out. She makes it clear that it would be nice if someone gave her a break once in a while.

Still fuming when she gets to the factory, Fiz’s temper rises until it boils over. To the concern of her Underworld colleagues, she completely loses the plot…

“All of a sudden, Fiz starts violently whacking her sewing machine,” our insider continues. “The frustrations of the last few months come flooding out and as Kirk, Izzy and Michael watch on, they don’t know what to do for the best.

“Fiz clearly needs to let off some steam, but she could cause some real damage if nobody stops her.”

Worried for his co-worker, Michael Bailey alerts Tyrone to Fiz’s wobble. Realising how difficult things have been for his wife, Ty vows to pull his weight, starting by earning his keep. Collaring Kevin Webster, he tells him he wants to start working back at the garage on desk duties.

Still wallowing in the misery of losing Abi, work isn’t exactly a priority for Kev and he declares that he’s not opening the garage so he can spend the day lazing in bed!

With Tyrone’s plans to help out Fiz and the family scuppered, how much more can the Dobbs clan take?
