Tim Metcalfe

Tim Metcalfe is the biological father of Faye Windass who came back into her life in 2013.

Tim became a father in 2002 when Faye was born. However he had problems with her mother, which caused him to leave and ended up losing contact. In the years of his absence, Faye got taken into care due to her mother's drug taking, and ended up being adopted by the Windass family in 2011.

By 2013 Tim had been working as a builder. Faye tracked him down using the internet, got in contact with him and secretly went to meet him, without telling adoptive mother Anna Windass and her partner Owen Armstrong. They got off to a good start, but when Faye returned home, Anna and Owen discovered on her laptop that she had been contacting "Tim", and revealed that he was her biological father. Anna didn't approve of Faye seeing Tim. However after feigning illness to stay off school she secretly went off to see him once more.

After he got laid off, and wanted to be closer to his daughter, Tim found himself employment working for Jason Grimshaw. However work dried up when Jason's home the Rovers Return Inn burned down and he found it hard to find work. In April, Tim moved into the Corner Shop flat, coming to a rental arrangement with Dev Alahan. Faye convinced him to invite her, Owen and Anna for a meal for the evening at the flat, however Faye later faked an illness and Tim offered to look after her. During her stay he talked about his past with her mother - admitting that he did love her, but couldn't bear it. Faye wanted to stay with Tim, but had to be dragged out by Anna when she refused to return home.


 * Actor Joe Duttine was cast as Tim. He previously played the role of Detective Max Carr in 2010. According to reports some fans on Twitter acted surprised at Duttine's casting as Tim since he had previously played Max Carr, despite the fact that several actors have played different characters during the history of the show. A Coronation Street spokesman addressed the concerns by stating "Joe is a talented actor who brings something completely different to the role of Tim Metcalfe than he did to his previous role."
