Coronation Street's Joe Duttine on Tim's danger from Stephen
Watch your back, Tim.
It's danger o'clock for Tim Metcalfe (played by Joe Duttine) this week on Coronation Street.
The loveable resident of Weatherfield has had his suspicions of Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce) – and he's been spot on.
But as viewers know all too well, you shouldn't get too close to finding out Stephen's secrets because those that do often end up dead.

However, when he's "safely" in his cab, Stephen gets in and a fight ensues, with the serial killer wrapping a tie around Tim's neck!
Tim makes a bid for freedom after wriggling out of Stephen's grasp but he doesn't get very far as he runs into Stephen again and is knocked unconscious.
