Corrie’s Tyrone and Fiz take trip down memory lane

Coronation Street have released a new video looking back at the past 21 years of Tyrone and Fiz’s relationship, in advance of their Christmas Day wedding.

The pair first shared a kiss way back in 2011, and this year’s Christmas Day episode will (hopefully) see them tie the knot, thanks to Tyrone’s secret plans for a festive wedding for himself and Fiz.

21 years after they first got together, the show has decided it’s a good time to take a look back at the past two decades to see how we arrived at this moment.

To celebrate, the actors behind the popular pairing – Jennie McAlpine and Alan Halsall – sat down with their co-star Colson Smith for an exclusive interview for Coronation Street’s YouTube channel.

Colson is the actor behind Craig Tinker, who has been part of the Corrie family since 2011, and he takes the pair for a drink at the Rovers to grill them on their past, their future, and put them head to head for a very special quiz.

As well as discussing the upcoming romantic Christmas wedding plan, Jennie and Alan get the chance to watch some of the key moments from Fiz and Tyrone’s on-screen love story, going from their first kiss in 2001 to last year’s festive fight on the cobbles.

Plus, Colson draws on their decades of history in the ‘Brown Vs Dobbs Christmas Quiz’ to find out if the pair really are the perfect match.

Of her chat with Colson, Jennie said: “It is lovely to watch some of the early scenes, it is such a long time ago and you forget things that you filmed together.

“It is very funny looking back on some of the hair and fashion choices!”

Alan said: “I was nervous about doing the quiz as Jennie is a quiz fiend and knows so much about the show. You will have to watch to see who comes out on top.”

The two are recently engaged, after Tyrone proposed to Fiz in Roy’s Rolls. However, Fiz has no idea that Tyrone has planned for them to get married on Christmas Day, and his efforts to hide the surprise mean that she’s expecting Christmas to be a dud.

Tyrone is planning what he hopes is the perfect surprise wedding for his fiancée after learning that she was dreading planning another ceremony – after all, it’s only five months since her last wedding to Phill Whittaker (Jamie Kenna).

With the two girls, Hope (Isabella Flanagan) and Ruby (Macy Alabi) in on the plan too, the three descend the stairs on Christmas morning to find a surprise of their own. Deciding that Christmas will be a damp squib, and completely oblivious to the plans that Tyrone has put in place, Fiz is nowhere to be seen!

Will they manage to track Fiz down before she misses her own wedding?

Catch Up With Colson is available to watch on the Coronation Street YouTube channel.
