Coronation Street fans have been left fearful for Sally Metcalfe on the ITV soap, after noticing her husband Tim and Aggie Bailey growing close.
The scenes on Tuesday evening have fuelled speculation about a potential affair between Tim (Joe Duttine) and Aggie (Lorna Laidlaw).
The pair have been spending a lot of time together on Coronation Street of late and have developed a close and supportive friendship.
They first became friends when Tim felt able to confide in Aggie rather than Sally ( Sally Dynevor ) when he was diagnosed with a heart condition and faced surgery.
Corrie fans will remember Sally and Tim's intimacy issues following his triple heart bypass earlier this year, which led Tim to confide in Aggie.
The local NHS worker encouraged him to open up to Sally about what his health scare has done to him mentally.
Although Sally was pleased Tim had taken positive steps to getting back on track, he never told her it was Aggie who had given him the advice, leading to some viewers speculating an affair was on the horizon.
Then more recently, Aggie was with Tim when her son James (Nathan Graham) collapsed on the pitch.
On Tuesday evening the characters again spent a series of scenes alone together, as Aggie helped Tim to go shopping for an anniversary presenter for his wife.
The scenes left fans concerned for the fan favourite, with one writing on Twitter : “Tim & Aggie are going to end up having an affair I’m calling it now.”
A second posted: “Tim and Aggie are defo gonna s*** aren’t they,” as another wrote: “I think Aggie and Tim are going to sleep together.”
One fan ominously penned: “Where’s Sally gone, not seen her for a while…”
“I like Aggie and Tim’s friendship and her going to help him get Sally a gift but please can they not ever ruin it by them having an affair?” another fan questioned.
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV and streams on the ITV Hub.
