There was an unexpected appearance from a beloved cast member in Monday (September 11)\u2019s episode of Coronation Street, when Evelyn (Maureen Lipman) persuaded Tyrone (Alan Halsall) that he needed to keep his wife Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) briefed about the latest goings-on in Weatherfield.<\/p>\n
Last week Hope (Isabella Flanagan) and Tyrone were shocked to find Tyrone\u2019s mum, Cassie (Claire Sweeney), slumped in the street after having overdosed. Cassie then manipulated Tyrone into taking her side against Evelyn, who warned him that he needed to put his daughters first and keep Cassie away from them. The result was that Tyrone decided to let Cassie stay at his house, while Evelyn packed her bags and moved to the precinct flat.<\/p>\n
In this episode, Evelyn spoke to Fiz on the phone and, following this conversation, she told Tyrone that he should really tell Fiz what had been going on with Cassie because she had a right to know about things that affected her daughter.<\/p>\n
Evelyn was not going to take no for an answer from Tyrone. \u2018I\u2019ll say it again \u2013 this time in Romanian,\u2019 she insisted, alluding to Tyrone\u2019s affair with Alina Pop (Ruxandra Porojnicu) and how much devastation could be caused by keeping secrets. \u2018Fiz has a right to know the facts,\u2019 Roy (David Neilson) agreed.<\/p>\n
Fiz is currently living in Norfolk, where she took a high-paid job as supervisor in an Underworld factory. This storyline was to cover for Jennie McAlpine\u2019s absence as she went on maternity leave.<\/p>\n

So as Tyrone settled down to make the call as his gran insisted, it was a huge and very pleasant surprise to see Fiz herself on his laptop screen as the couple shared a video call.<\/p>\n
We saw just the end of the call, after Tyrone had apparently explained about Cassie and Fiz had given her blessing to his decision to let his mum stay under the same roof as Hope and Ruby (Billie Naylor).<\/p>\n
\u2018I can\u2019t wait to see you,\u2019 Fiz concluded. \u2018Ring me any time you need.\u2019<\/p>\n
Even though Tyrone had only made the call on Evelyn\u2019s insistence, it was a lovely chance to see Fiz briefly and for the show to keep up the connection between Tyrone and Fiz even though they\u2019re currently apart.<\/p>\n
Jennie gave birth to her third child, Doris, in April this year, although because the episodes are recorded months in advance, Fiz didn\u2019t leave the show until May.<\/p>\n
Doris is a little sister for Albert and Hilda, Jennie\u2019s other children with her husband Chris Farr. She explained the choice of the new baby\u2019s name recently, saying: \u2018Doris is a family name and I love that it goes with Albert and Hilda. They\u2019re also all very \u201cCorrie.\u201d\u2019<\/p>\n
