Coronation Street CONFIRM there's a twist in Sally Metcalfe's tale of fraud
Will she be released after all?
Author: Emma DoddsPublished 7th Jan 2019
Coronation Street fans have been left in anguish over poor Sally Metcalfe's current situation. In a storyline which distinctly harkens back to the days of 'Free Deirdre Rashid', Sally has been thrown in prison after being tricked into fraud by Duncan Radfield.
The conman, played by Nicholas Gleaves, first came into the show last year when he asked Sally for a council grant to set up a charity in memory of his dead wife, May. Of course, we all know what happened there - and here we are, with Sally rotting in prison for Duncan's fraud.
However, in upcoming scenes, viewers will discover that Nicholas' wife May is NOT dead, she's not even sick - May is found to be alive and well, which is a fact that could come in handy for poor old Sally.
According to the soap's official website, Sally's daughter Sophie Webster will see May at the hospital, most likely visiting her husband in hospital after he was accidentally run over in a showdown with Tim Metcalfe.
With Sophie and Tim distracted on the day, Sally's sister Gina takes it upon herself to save the day and question the woman to find out the story.
