Coronation Street: Lorna Laidlaw Weighs In On Aggie And Tim Speculation

Coronation Street spoilers, news, and updates tease that Lorna Laidlaw talked about the speculation that Aggie Bailey (Lorna Laidlaw), the character she plays, is set to have a romantic relationship with Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine). Where do the pair stand? Will their connection lead to intimacy?

Viewers know that Tim is confiding in Aggie about his intimacy problems with his wife, Sally Metcalfe (Sue Dynevor), which have been going on for months. Tim doesn’t want anyone else to know about his issues and the pair eventually starts to meet in secret. Not only that, Tim bought Aggie a necklace as a thank-you gift for all the support she’s given him. They had to agree on a story that it was an old necklace that she found so others won’t think they were having an affair.

But Sally is bound to find out about their secret connection. How will she react? Spoilers hint that Tim will unintentionally send a text to Sally, which will make her believe that her husband and Aggie are having an affair.

Coronation Street – Lorna Laidlaw Clarifies Aggie Bailey And Tim Metcalfe’s Connection

Lorna Laidlaw made it clear that her character and Tim are unlikely to have a romantic connection.

“If the writers put it in, I would absolutely say ‘No’ to it,” the actress said in an interview with Inside Soap.

“Of course, people are jumping to that conclusion. But men and women are allowed to have friendships, and it’s important we show that,” she explained.

She didn’t say much as to what Sally’s reaction would be when she found out about Tim and Sally’s correspondence. But she did hint that “it all explodes.”

The actress explained that things would have been different if they had been just honest in the beginning. But they were trying too hard to prevent people from thinking they were having an affair and that their little lies had already built up and created a bigger problem.

Coronation Street – Laidlaw’s Emotional Response to Departure of Onscreen Son

Laidlaw also opened up about the exit of Nathan Graham as James Bailey. James left Weatherfield after he secured a football coach job for a youth center near Lewisham.

“I’m filling up just thinking about it. My two on-screen boys are not much different in age to my real sons, I found it quite emotional,” she explained.

Graham’s departure has significantly affected Laidlaw, especially because they’ve already created a strong unit.
