Overwhelmed Tim faces murderer Richie’s daughter in Coronation Street | Soaps

Tim Metcalfe’s (Joe Duttine) whole entire world changed when he knocked on the door of his cousin Richie’s (Nathan Sussex) house in Coronation Street.

The duo reconnected a couple of days ago, after Tim picked Richie up in his taxi. He then invited his cousin back to his house for some drinks.

Afterwards, it became apparent that Richie’s partner Rachel wasn’t happy about him staying out all night.

Richie had been thrown out of the family home, and later told Tim about his plans to stay with a friend in Liverpool. As Richie left, Tim urged him to go back home and speak to Rachel.

Tim then found Richie’s wallet and headed to his house, hoping that he was there trying to clear things up with his wife.

When Richie opened the door, Tim was faced with a horror scene. His cousin’s shirt was covered in blood and inside…was Rachel’s dead body.

Richie is now in prison for the murder of his wife.

As today’s episode opened, Sally (Sally Dynevor) found Tim downstairs. It was the middle of the night, and it was clear that Tim had been awake for most of it.

He kept replaying the moment where he knocked on Richie’s door, and how he pushed his cousin to speak to Rachel. Tim had no idea that his cousin was capable of such horror, but that also didn’t stop him feeling as though things would’ve played out differently if didn’t encourage Richie to go back home.

Rachel and Richie’s daughter Lucy has been put into foster care, but Sally learnt in the morning that the placement had fallen through.

Tim wanted Lucy to move in with him, Sal and the Michaelis siblings. Sally was a bit overwhelmed at the thought of another vulnerable child arriving, but she recognised that Tim was desperate to help.

Lucy arrived, and things got chaotic very quickly. She disappeared from the house at one point, but was later found at the bus stop by Tim, Sal and Glenda Shuttleworth (Jodie Prenger).

Over dinner, Sally and Tim attempted to be gentle with Lucy as they spoke about what might happen to her dad, but they then received quite a shock.

Lucy screamed in Tim’s face and stated that she knows he doesn’t really care about her. The youngster had gone from being incredibly quiet to shouting very loudly, and the situation left Tim and Sally pretty horrified.

Everything has changed and now, they’ve welcomed the daughter of a murderer into their home.

Surely things can’t get any worse?
