Corrie's Sally and Tim file a report against a neighbour and a showdown follows
Sally and Tim Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor and Joe Duttine) in Coronation Street were recently asked to look after Joanie and Shanice, Lou Michaelis' (Farrel Hegarty) daughters.
Lou wanted to go to the BBQ at the Platt house, but needed someone to pick the girls up from school. With son Brody (Ryan Mulvey) refusing to do so, Lou asked Tim.
The character was reluctant to at first, not wanting to be taken advantage of, but then said yes when Lou pointed out that it would be good practice for Tim and Sal, who are hoping to become foster parents.
Shanice and Joanie were fairly quiet and didn't cause a lot of bother, but their behaviour changed when Tim and Sally got into an argument. It was a minor disagreement and it didn't mean a great deal but to the girls, it terrified them.
Sally and Tim realised what was going on and reassured Shanice and Joanie, explaining that married couples have arguments, but they still love each other very much. On their own though, the couple realised that Shanice and Joanie's reaction was a sign that Lou and Mick (Joe Layton) argued a lot at home.
Lou then called Tim and asked if the girls could stay the night, due to the fact she was in A&E. Again, there was reluctancy, but Tim and Sally allowed them to sleepover to keep the girls safe, rather than help Lou out.
In tonight's episode, Sally and Tim fixed Shanice and Joanie some breakfast and were picked up by Lou. With them out the way, it gave the couple space to discuss the Michaelis' home life and how worried they are about the girls. More Trending
Sally and Tim concluded that they should make a report to social services, and it didn't take long for them to do something about it.

Lou marched over to their house and asserted that Tim and Sally have no idea what her life is like, and she always does her best to make sure Shanice and Joanie are safe.
She said that she would never hurt them, but Sally pointed out that neglect doesn't always mean physically putting someone in danger.

Danny Dyer reveals how dressing dilemma made him give up drugs
Appearing on The Louis Theroux Podcast, the former EastEnders star described the moment he knew he was 'destroying' his life after celebrating a win at the National Television Awards (NTAs). 'I just could not work out how to get my jeans on. 'I was just sitting on my en-suite toilet trying to work out what leg goes in what,' he told Theroux. 'I've sort of had many of them moments over the years, of me being completely off my head. 'But that one really resonated with me. 'It was more because I looked up, my wife was just watching me and she looked shattered and she looked ill.' Dyer, who has spoken before about his drug abuse, said he knew it was having a bad effect on his wife Jo, as well as their children. He added: 'It was just this moment, I thought, shit, you're going to die. You're going to kill yourself. You're not happy. You're spanking all your money on drugs. You're destroying everything around you.' Dyer, who has been filming the second series of hit drama Rivals, also spoke of his frustration at being encouraged to talk in an American accent as he tried to build a career in Hollywood a few years ago. He told Theroux that, instead of convincing them with an American accent, 'everyone thought I was Australian'. Dyer added: 'They wanted me to live there for six months, and I had small children and I hated the fact that they wanted me to speak American all the time, which is what you're meant to do out there.' He told Theroux that he is extremely proud of his upcoming film, Three Quick Breaths, in which he plays the only role, describing it as maybe 'my Hamlet'. 'We shot it in 10 days in Dublin and I had to learn 15 pages a day,' he said. 'Maybe this was my Hamlet, maybe that narcissist in me thought, can I be the only one in a film? I watched it and I'm really proud of it.' The Louis Theroux Podcast is available on Spotify and all podcast platforms.

‘I'm so excited to be back': Michelle Ryan to return to EastEnders as Zoe Slater
The 41-year-old will return to the role for the first time in 20 years, with her character having been involved in some of the show's best-known storylines, including one which saw her tell her mother Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) 'you ain't my mother', before finding out she was. Speaking about her return, Ryan said: 'It all happened at the right time. 'I'd already been thinking about a return because I'd met up with Kacey Ainsworth and Kim Medcalf and we were reminiscing our fond memories of the show, and I'd also joined social media and saw that there was still a lot of love for the character. 'It just so happened that at the same time, EastEnders had announced a new exec who was keen to explore the potential of a return as he was such a massive fan of Zoe and the Slaters, so both of our worlds aligned at the right time, and I'm so excited to be back. 'When Ben (Wadey, EastEnders executive producer) pitched me the storylines, and when I read the scripts, I knew it was the right decision.' Wadey added of his decision to bring Zoe back: 'Before I even stepped into the role, Zoe Slater was on my wishlist of returnees as we haven't seen her on screen for 20 years. 'Her character has transcended time due to her popular storylines. 'I was absolutely delighted when Michelle agreed to return, and I'm thrilled to welcome her back to Walford. 'Whilst I can't say too much at this stage, Zoe's return is just one of the many exciting storylines we have planned.' Producers say Zoe will return with 20 years of 'deep-rooted resentment' towards her mother, fractured family relationships, and siblings she has never met, adding that the character 'will be in for one hell of a ride' when she returns. On her character's return storylines, Ryan said: 'I can't say too much as there is a lot of drama to come, but Zoe is a mess. 'She's not the girl that left Walford 20 years ago, and she's been really struggling on her own. She has her defences up, but this week you will see that she needs help, but whether she is willing to accept it is another story.' Zoe had countless failed love interests, including one with Dennis Rickman (Nigel Harman), which saw Zoe embroiled in the murder of Den Watts (Leslie Grantham) with accomplices Chrissie Watts (Tracy-Ann Oberman) and Sam Mitchell (Kim Medcalf), after her affair with Den and subsequent pregnancy. The character left Albert Square in 2005, when she reconciled with Kat after admitting the truth about Den's murder, but during her time away from Walford, Zoe and Kat's relationship broke down once again and the pair have been estranged ever since. Speaking about how it felt to return to the set, Ryan added: 'It feels like coming home. After doing my first few scenes, it was like I'd never been away.' Zoe made her first appearance in the soap in September 2000 along with the rest of the Slater family, and last appeared on screen in June 2005, when she left Walford for Spain after revealing her part in Den's murder to mum, Kat. She will also appear in Tuesday and Wednesday's episodes before making a full return in the summer.
