Alan Halsall: 'Surprise truce ahead on Corrie'

Coronation Street star Alan Halsall has confirmed that his downtrodden character Tyrone Dobbs will soon call a truce with business partner Kevin Webster.

The pair have been at odds for months following the revelation that Kevin had enjoyed an affair with Tyrone's wife Molly before her death.

Tension between the former friends comes to a head again next week when an angry Tyrone uses a spanner to attack an expensive car lifting machine that Kevin has bought for the garage. Tyrone is unaware that he has caused severe damage to the device until the lift suddenly buckles while Kevin is working on a car, leaving him in jeopardy as he starts to be crushed.

Revealing what happens after Kevin is rushed to hospital, Halsall told All About Soap: "Fortunately, Kevin is just suffering from concussion and he's got a broken collarbone. He'll be okay.

"Tyrone lets Kevin believe that Tommy was responsible, but after a while, Ty can't take the guilt and confesses what he did. Kevin suggests they both call a truce. At first, Tyrone's unsure - he has every right to be bitter, but he can't carry on the way he has been and eventually agrees."

Discussing Tyrone's decision, the actor continued: "Tyrone has gone along with the truce for the sake of the business and his own sanity - he needs to stop wallowing in self-pity. He's ready to move on, but this is purely about work - he tells Kevin they'll never be friends."
