Coronation Street fans appear to be in agreement over who the current ‘best character’ in the long-running show is – and they’ve made a demand for more.

During the latest trip to the cobbles on Wednesday (September 17), viewers saw the family of Tyrone Dobbs waiting for news as he underwent surgery.

As those who follow the ITV soap will know, the mechanic has what could be life-changing injuries after being the victim of a shocking hit and run.

In scenes aired last week, Carl was seen using the garage for his latest money-making scheme, and he was soon seen approaching Brody Michaelis and Dylan Wilson with details of their next job, having already enlisted the teens to help him to steal cars.

However, things quickly went disastrously wrong. As they stole their next car, Brody and Dylan were spotted speeding down the road by George Shuttleworth. The two lads then started arguing about Betsy Swain and with them distracted, didn’t see her walking through the precinct.

The tipsy and emotional birthday girl was seen leaving a voice note for Dylan, telling him she’s “drunk and alone”, asking him to call her back. She then left one for her mum, Lisa Swain, following their row, where she admitted to sleeping with Dylan the previous night.

She was heard apologising for what happened, but still asked for some space. In what could have been a foreshadowing comment, Betsy is heard saying: “I know mum died, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to, too,” before the stolen car bore down on her.

Betsy braced for impact before there was a crash and a scream. But, when a panicked Lisa and Carla Connor arrived on the scene, while relieved to see Betsy in one piece, they were shocked to see the car had hit passer-by Tyrone instead.

Paramedics were soon on the scene and learning of the incident, Tyrone’s wife, Fiz and his mum, Cassie Plummer, raced to the hospital with the children, where they were then informed that Tyrone was having a scan to check for internal bleeding.

During Monday’s (September 15) episode of Corrie, Tyrone was panicked when he revealed he couldn’t feel his legs. Later, the doctor warned that it was too early to tell whether he would ever be able to feel his legs again, leaving him worried for his future and that of his family.

Meanwhile, as the hunt for the driver continued, a sinister flashback saw Carl setting fire to the car that had struck Tyrone, just after he was seen visiting Tyrone in the hospital, where he opened up about his fears around his mobility.

In Wednesday’s (September 17) episode of the ITV soap, Tyrone’s family were nervously waiting for an update after he underwent a risky surgery to try and fix what was causing his current paralysis.

With Fiz by his side, it was up to Evelyn to keep and eye on the kids, including Tyrone’s son, Dorin, who completely stole the show in viewers’ eyes as they flocked to social media to comment on the young soap star.
