She's been gone a while as Sally Dynevor took a break from the cobbles to appear on Dancing On Ice, but her soap star character Sally Metcalfe is back. Sally returned to Weatherfield during scenes aired during Coronation Street on Friday night (March 25) having been away to see her sister Gina shortly after husband Tim was home having had a triple heart bypass.
The Street Cars owner was banned from bedroom antics while he recovered. But him and wife Sally struggled to keep their hands off each other, much to horror of Tim's mum Elaine who moved in to help look after her son.
Prior to Sally's return, Tim was seen chatting with pal Steve McDonald about his struggles.
"I've got a meeting with the cardiologist tomorrow, I'm hoping that he's going to lift the ban," he said.
"Yeah when I had the operation, he said that me and Sally had to refrain from intimacy until I got the 'all clear'. Total abstinence."
"All intimacy? Even self-intimacy?," Steve asked, to which Tim replied: "Oh yeah. It's way too risky. Crazy, isn't it?"
Steve added: "Oh, Tracey's a very demanding woman, she wouldn't stand for that."

"Well, Sally's a pretty passionate and all - she put me on a timer. I'm simmering, man," Tim replied.
"I'm telling you, as soon as I get the nod from the head chef, I'm gonna be cooking on gas... if you know what I mean."
When Sally returned home, she realised she was a day early and that they had 24 hours to go until Tim's cardiology appointment. But the pair struggled to keep their hands off each other. Sally tried to put her foot down and steer clear of funny business.
Just as they almost gave in to their desires - in the family kitchen, Elaine walked in and gave them a telling-off.
Some Coronation Street fans found it all a bit too much.

"Tim and Sally’s scenes tonight went beyond being cringy, what on earth were the script writers on? #CoronationStreet #corrie," @HawthorneAcre added.
Others were quick to defend the saucy scenes and thanked the ITV soap for bringing back a bit of 'Carry On' humour.
