Meanwhile, Tyrone's mum Cassie, played by Claire Sweeney, has continued to struggle with her drug addiction, and in a recent episode was attacked while doing a drug deal.
Sweeney previously said of her character: "I love Cassie and I hope the audience love her as much as I do. She's vulnerable, she's troubled and she's got major problems.
"As I'm reading the scripts, I want her to sort herself out because we all love Tyrone – you don't want anything to upset him, do you? It's nice to see a different side to Evelyn as a mother as well.
"Cassie is feisty and she's going to cause some trouble on the cobbles. She's a loose cannon, but then she's vulnerable as well."
