Tyrone Dobbs makes a huge decision about his mother in Coronation Street

DRAMA is knocking on Tyrone Dobbs’ door again next week with the return of his long-lost mother Cassie Plummer to the cobbles.

The Coronation Street mechanic played by Alan Halsall is pushed to make a big decision in scenes airing next week on ITV.

Tyrone Dobbs was anxious when his wife Fiz left Corrie for Norwich earlier this year for a new job opportunity.

However, the mechanic was able to rely on his grandmother Evelyn Plummer (Maureen Lipman) to lead things at home.

Unfortunately for him, Evelyn abruptly left after a long-forgotten friend named Cath paid her a visit in the Street.

At the time of her departure, Evelyn made it clear she had no idea when she would be back.

But he has no clue Evelyn left the cobbles to help her daughter and Tyrone’s long-lost mother Cassandra (Claire Sweeney) get sober.

Coming up next week on ITV, a hopeful Tyrone leaves a message for Evelyn letting her know it is the girls’ show today at the Bistro and they would love her support.

It’s later on very clear that Evelyn and Cassie are back and there to stay as, over at the precinct, the pair of women move into a rented flat.

Evelyn gets Tyrone’s message soon after but she tells Cassie she won’t be going as she can’t leave her on her own out of fear she will relapse behind her back.

But Cassie has other ideas and convinces Evelyn to let her go out to grab a coffee as she has been clean for weeks and is bored.

When Evelyn spots her purse is missing she fears the worst – could Cassie be up to her old tricks?

Meanwhile Cassie has arrived at the Bistro where Tyrone recognises her as Cath and wonders if she’s heard anything from Evelyn.

A breathless Evelyn hurries into the Bistro, just in time to hear Cassie reveal to Tyrone that she’s his mother.

While Tyrone’s initial reaction remains to be seen, in later scenes, his daughters Hope and Ruby are excited to know more about their new grandmother, wondering when they can meet her.

Meanwhile, Evelyn lambasts Cassie for the terrible mess she has created.

Evelyn calls at the garage and tries to make things right with her grandson by assuring him she was only trying to protect him and her plan was to tell him the truth once she could be sure Cassie was clean. 

Tyrone turns to the only people he can and pours his heart out to Kevin and Abi Webster (Michael Le Vell and Sally Carman). 

Abi advises him to think long and hard before introducing a recovering drug addict into the girls’ lives.

Tyrone later calls at the flat in the precinct – but what has he decided?

Coronation Street airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8pm on ITV.
