TIM METCALFE (229 VOTES)
Duration: 2013-
Played by: Joe Duttine
2012 character poll position (men): Not included
A male character who has definitely become popular since his relationship with Sally Webster.
Introduced as the estranged father of Faye Windass, Tim worked as a builder. Despite Faye’s adoptive mother Anna’s initial disapproval, Tim kept in contact with Faye when he got a job with Jason Grimshaw.
Both Anna and partner Owen Armstrong attempted to force Tim out of Weatherfield but he began a relationship with Sally.
When work dried up with Jason, he established himself as a window cleaner – continuing the lineage of street window cleaners (Stan, Eddie, Jack). His down to earth attitude is a stark contrast to the snobbery of Sally and they are a reminder of Richard and Hyacinth Bucket. In 2015, Tim employed Craig Tinker as his assistant. It was revealed in 2014 that Tim was dyslexic but he has overcome this problem by now.
Surprisingly, Tim has a formed a close friendship with Sally’s ex Kevin. This is a contrast to Kevin’s animosity towards Sally’s men. But this provides and interesting dynamic to the Webster household. Kevin was even best man at Tim and Sally’s wedding in 2015.
Tim is definitely in the mould of Corrie’s classic hapless men – Stan, Jack, Les and Steve and has to be one of the brightest stars of Corrie in recent years after the departures of many classic characters.

Two thumbs up for Sally and Tim!
They had such a sweet moment last week
it reminded me of some of Stan and Hilda's
sweet moments, and I wouldn't have been
at all surprised if she had called him
Chuck.
The only relationship I enjoy more than Sally and Tim is......Tim and Kevin!,
