Since Steve’s (Simon Gregson) return to the ITV soap last week, the duo’s friendship has been anything but smooth. After Tim (Joe Duttine) saw his pal wearing his favourite jacket that his wife Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor) donated to a clothes swap, it’s been war. Although in scenes set to air next week it looks like a third party is made to step in.

On Tuesday evening, Coronation Street fans watched as Steve wheeled himself into the pub after his trip to Spain.

Immediately getting sympathy for his broken leg, he fibbed that the accident was caused by him chasing a mugger.

Steve later confessed to his friend Tim that he really hurt himself by slipping at a foam party surrounded by girls and commented that his wife Tracy could never find out.

However, in spite, Tim decided to reveal all to Tracy after Steve refused to give back his jacket that Sally donated in the clothes swap against his wishes.

The row escalated even more after Tim found a scratchcard in the pocket with a £250 win.

As Tim points out that both the jacket and scratch card belong to him, Steve refuses to give them back, causing the pair to have a fallout.

In scenes set to air next week, it looks as though the ongoing jacket debate escalates as they bicker at work.

Still at each other’s throats, Eileen (Sue Cleaver) has had enough and is forced to intervene in the argument.

Pushing them both into the solicitor’s office, she demands Adam (Sam Robertson) mediate the situation and sort out the debate once and for all.

It looks as though Eileen isn’t the only person who has had enough of the two men fighting over the jacket either.

Sally tries to entice Tim by promising if he forgets about the item then she will never mention his friendship with Aggie again.

Will Tim be tempted to drop the argument for a sense of peace with his wife? Or will his stubbornness take over and the fight continues?

A theory suggested by Express.co.uk suggests that Tim takes Sally up on her offer and decides to be the bigger person.

Telling Steve that he can keep the jacket, he continues his close friendship with Aggie.

Although when she spots the pair close together, Sally could soon start to regret her bargain as her jealousy and weariness of the situation grows.

Actor Simon Gregson revealed that he has broken his leg in real life and it had to be written into the script for his character.

Speaking to The Mirror, he said: “I’ve broken my leg. I literally just went over and rolled my ankle, outside the back of the house. 

“It was done in six places, I’m able to drive now, but walking across wet fields is a no for me. 

“Because if I slip it’s back to square one.”

Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday on ITV at 7.30pm.
