Corrie fans frustrated over Tim's huge 'mistake' as Stephen leaves him for dead

Coronation Street fans were quick to spot a huge Tim Metcalfe "mistake" on Monday's episode after Stephen Reid left him for dead.

During the latest episode, Tim was distracted from Sally's plans for their wedding anniversary when a passing mention from Brian of Stephen's interest in the canal dredging project left him suspicious. Tim then decided to head to the canal towpath, where he used discarded objects nearby to poke at the water before a corpse's hand floated to the surface.

A horrified Tim then ran to his taxi, dialling 999 to report the dead body but his phone was playing up and before he could ring back he was interrupted by a menacing Stephen sitting in the back. After pretending that things were fine, Stephen then noticed Tim was heading to the police station and he took off his tie, strangling Tim in the driver's seat.

However, Tim then reclined his chair, which left Stephen crushed and he was able to make a run for it. However, Tim then decided to stop and tie his shoelace with Stephen then whacking him over the head from behind with a metal rod, leaving Tim unconscious on the floor.

It then appeared that Tim had survived but Stephen had other plans as he tied up his hands and then strangled him, leaving him lifeless. Stephen then discarded the metal rod, throwing it high into the air.
