Coronation Street’s Jennie McAlpine has said that the relationship her character, Fiz, starts with Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) later this month is serious.
The pair become involved as he deals with domestic violence from his fiancee Kirsty Soames played by Natalie Gumede. Tyrone continues to remain in the relationship so he can secure his parental rights over his daughter Ruby.
Speaking to the Radio Times McAlpine said "Because of the unique situation that Tyrone and Fiz find themselves in, I hope that viewers will not see them as cheating on Kirsty.
"We have to remember that Tyrone doesn't want to be with Kirsty anymore and is only living this lie to gain parental rights to his daughter. Fiz and Ty have grown really close in recent months and they really are soul mates, so it is a serious relationship for them both.
"I would hope that, having been through all this turmoil, there will be a happy outcome for them both. They just need to get Kirsty out of the equation."
She added: "Yes, I think she is playing with fire. She loves Tyrone but she's trying to be with a man who's actually not available at the moment and Fiz is under no illusion of just what Kirsty is capable of, yet she keeps coming back for more.
"I suppose if Kirsty was capable of murder, Fiz would be her number one target. But I'm not sure that she would go that far and I don't want to mention it in case it gives the writers any ideas."
