Coronation Street’s Alan Halsall predicts fan backlash over cheating storyline

by

Coronation Street star Alan Halsall has admitted he expects to receive some backlash from fans over the coming weeks, due to Tyrone Dobbs’ behaviour.

Tyrone has been growing close to Alina Pop (Ruxandra Porojnicu) recently, and the pair even shared a kiss, but Fiz Brown (Jennie McAlpine) has been left gutted after Tyrone decided to come clean to her.

Corrie fans are now unsure what the future will hold for iconic couple Tyrone and Fiz, and whether or not they will be able to survive this.

Speaking to press including The Mirror, 38-year-old Alan said that he thinks some viewers will be sympathetic towards Tyrone – but others will be disappointed in him.

“It will, of course, divide people’s opinion but also I think people will understand and people will have known someone in this situation or experienced it themselves,” he explained.

“As a character, it’s fantastic because we want to be part of big stories. It was a big twist to me and I hope it’s a big twist for the audience.

“I hope people are spitting out their up of tea at half seven on a Monday night, and I’m sure I’ll get clipped round the ear in Tesco a few times for it,” Alan joked, as he revealed he always gets approached in the supermarket.

However, Alan did stress that he doesn’t think Tyrone is acting out of malice when it comes to hurting his partner Fiz.

“I don’t think there’s any intent at all for Tyrone, I don’t think he sees it coming. There’s no malice for anybody,” he explained.

“I think he’s so caught up in it all that he doesn’t realise the damage he’s doing. Tyrone’s not the greatest thinker at the best of times.

“He just gets his head turned by an attractive girl, an attractive proposition. I don’t think he was looking for it or expecting it. It’s just a bit of excitement for him,” Alan added.

“And it’s not that he hates Fizz, there’s no hatred there, there’s no malice there.

“He loves Fizz, just not in that way right now. He loves Alina in that way right now. It’s just such a conflicting for him, that’s why he’s torn going back and forward.”

Earlier this week, Corrie viewers saw Fiz make Alina cry as she confronted her about the kiss with Tyrone – but it’s unsure if the pair will end up enjoying more than a smooch in the near future.
