Coronation Street‘s Tyrone is set to struggle in the coming months, with his injury storyline continuing, and putting a strain on his marriage to Fiz.

Alan Halsall’s character was left with life-altering injuries following a hit-and-run incident. Dylan Wilson and Brody Michaelis stole a car, and hit Tyrone as they swerved to avoid hitting Betsy Swain. It resulted in him having fractured vertebrae, undergoing emergency surgery and not being able to feel his legs when he woke up.

Viewers on Monday (October 13), saw his recovery take a step backwards when he fell out of his wheelchair while at home.

Manchester arena bomb survivor and vice president of the Spinal Injuries Association Martin Hibbert has been giving the soap’s research team help with the storyline.

After meeting Hibbert and his wife, Gabby, Halsall said: “We are so grateful to Martin and Gabby for giving up their time to talk to us about their experiences.

“We might be telling this story on screen but at the end of the day we go home to our family and friends and leave behind what the characters are going through.

“Even just trying to negotiate getting round the set in the wheelchair has been a real eyeopener for me so to hear Martin’s own stories about how his life has changed has been really helpful and also humbling.”

Fiz actor Jennie McAlpine added: “For Fiz trying to juggle family life and caring for Tyrone is really difficult.

“It was invaluable for us to meet them both and hear Gabby’s side of their story, for them their lives changed in an instant in so many ways and that is what Fiz is having to deal with whilst looking after Tyrone.”

Hibbert added he was “impressed” that Corrie has chosen to tell this story.

“Spinal cord injury can happen to anyone, at any time, and having such a big TV programme shine a light on the realities of living with it will make a huge difference.

“By showing that ordinary people can be affected, it helps to raise awareness, break down barriers and start vital conversations about life after injury. It was an honour for Gabby and I to share our experience and see first-hand the care and respect the team are putting into getting this right.”
