Geoff threatens Sally after Yasmeen's prison confession in Coronation Street
The abusive husband showed his true colours, but his wife still loves him
The walls are closing in on Coronation Street creep Geoff Metcalfe (Ian Bartholomew) which is bad news for Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor), who became the target of her father-in-law's volatile temper after she confronted him about his abuse of wife Yasmeen Metcalfe (Shelley King).
Sal visited Yas in prison, who is on remand for Mr M's attempted murder, and was stunned to hear her friend finally open up about the months of coercive control and psychological manipulation she endured.
Geoff's treatment of Yasmeen, subtly chipping away at her self-confidence, resulted in her fearing for her life and pushed her to attack him when the abuse took its toll and she believed she was in danger.
Despite Yas now realising the ordeal she endured was down to Geoff's abusive behaviour, she insisted to stunned Sally he didn't deserve the violent outburst she inflicted as her mental health spiralled - and admitted she still loves her hubby and believes he's a good man beneath his troubles.
Returning home, Sally was forced to tell Geoff she had seen Yasmeen and what she told her, unsettling the bullying bloke who has been playing the victim throughout the storyline and painting his other half as the unstable enemy.
