The day had finally come for Tim Metcalfe to undergo heart surgery in Coronation Street.
Fans of the ITV soap have known for weeks that the cabbie needed a triple bypass.
Tim has been seen getting his affairs in order and getting support from nurse and neighbour, Aggie Bailey.
But the one person he hadn't told about his impending op was wife Sally - who ended up thinking he was having an affair.

Tim's heart surgery ended up being brought forwards after a confrontation by Sally saw him collapse and rushed into hospital.
During Monday night's trip to the cobbles, Sally was still in an unforgiving mood as her husband lay in his hospital bed waiting to be taken to theatre.
Kevin Webster also visited his friend while Tim's mum Elaine also made an appearance, shocked to learn from granddaughter Faye that her son was about to undergo major surgery.
But after leaving Tim, Sally was unable to see her husband before his surgery as the police swooped in and arrested the former Mayor of Weatherfield after a story about her having a wee in a public place ended up on the front page of the Weatherfield Gazette.
Sally, however, kicked off and booted a vending machine, with poor Tim thinking he was dreaming as he caught sight of his wife being carted away as he went under.
Before the end of the Corrie double bill, Tim was back on the ward and chatting to his wife.
And fans couldn't help but point out a plot hole.
@justme_30_01 said: "Why isn't Tim in ICU after his triple bypass? He should be in there for 1-3 days."
"Major heart surgery and back on the ward cracking jokes a few hours later?!" @Debraa67 questioned.
@sanns_1506 commented: "I'm sorry [I''m] just half way through this episode and can't watch no more. Tim just had 6 hour major heart surgery acting as if he had teeth out, he would be in intensive care."
"Tim looks very healthy for someone who’s just undergone heart surgery #CoronationStreet #Corrie," @SarahC1305 tweeted.
@MJ_JJ061215 fumed: "What a joke...there is no way Tim would be on a normal ward after a triple heart bypass operation - he would be in Intensive Care. Very bad continuity. #corrie @itvcorrie."
"Blimey, 20 mins after a triple heart bypass & Tim’s sitting up in bed reading t’Gazette! I’ve had a stronger anaesthetic for a filling #corrie," @blokeonradio added.
As the latest episode came to an end, Sally and Tim were back on speaking terms and having a giggle about Sally's misfortune.
But fans were questioning another detail.
CharlMoz91 tweeted: "Tim hasn't got a catheter in? Just something else to add to everything else associated with open heart surgery they've forgotten about. #Corrie."
"Triple heart bypass and they've not put a catheter in? His bed would be the colour of the pints in The Rovers in real life. #corrie," @waldron1994 wrote.
@Tomcau118 added: "Tim looked good considering he had just had open heart surgery & don't they put a catheter in when you need a wee? #corrie."
