1972-2012: Absent father
Timothy Metcalfe was born on 28th January 1972, the son of Geoff Metcalfe and Elaine Jones. Though brought up in England, Tim had strong ties to Wales, as his father lived there in Marloes Sands when Tim was an adult and his future partner Jenny Butler, mother to his daughter Faye, was from Newport, Gwent. Tim didn't enjoy school and left with a poor grasp of reading and writing. His skills deteriorated further in the years he spent labouring on building sites, content to earn enough to get b...
2013: Reunion with Faye
In January 2013, Tim was contacted by ten-year-old Faye through the internet. Faye was curious about the father she'd never known, bearing no malice towards him for walking out on her, and arranged to meet up with him behind her adoptive parents' back. Upon seeing Faye in person, Tim hugged her and took her for a hot chocolate in a nearby cafe. Tim was instantly at ease with his daughter, which allowed them to make a connection despite Faye's shyness in his company. When Anna saw Faye and Tim...
2013-2014: Enter Sally
While working his notice, Tim did some odd jobs for Sally Webster at 4 Coronation Street. She lent him a sympathetic ear regarding his recent problems, giving him the strength to tell Faye he was leaving. As expected, Faye took the news badly and started ignoring Tim. Tim fancied Sally but assumed she wouldn't consider him a potential romantic partner due to her highly-strung nature. In fact, his feelings were reciprocated, with Tim bringing out a happier, more playful side to Sally. After a...
In 2013, after some trouble with Faye, Tim decided to move away from Weatherfield and start afresh in Newcastle, continuing a pattern of giving up at the first hurdle which had defined his life. He left school with poor reading and writing skills, and as he was too proud to admit to being illiterate, he could only go for unskilled labouring jobs. W...
Faye Windass
Tim was absent from daughter Faye's life for eight years, missing out on her early childhood. When Faye got in touch with him online, Tim proceeded at a pace she dictated, enjoying the moment and putting no pressure on her to see more of him. However, when she expressed a desire to move in with him, Tim supported Anna Windass in keeping her at 6 Coronation Street; despite wanting Faye in his life, Tim wasn't up to the challenge of being a full-time dad and he didn't make much effort to alter...
Anna Windass
As Faye's adoptive mother Anna Windass feared losing Faye to Tim and tried to expel him from her daughter's life. Even when Tim made it clear that he didn't want Faye living with him, Anna resented the fact that he was Faye's hero and she and Owen Armstrong were seen as the bad guys. In March 2013, Faye tried to matchmake Tim and Anna, seeing it as the perfect solution to their problems; with her school play coming up, she pretended that tickets were rationed to two per family, knowing that O...
Sally Webster
Tim first exchanged more than pleasantries with Sally Webster in July 2013 when he did some work at 4 Coronation Street while working his notice before moving to Newcastle. Sally got to know Tim and convinced him not to run away from being a dad. Tim wasn't Sally's type but, her ego bruised after some bad online dating experiences, a vulnerable Sally got caught up in the moment and responded to a kiss from Tim by inviting him into her bed. In the cold light of day, Sally had no regrets about...
Tim liked to enjoy his free time, and going out drinking with mates was his main past-time. Some of his pursuits suggested that he was a man-child at heart; in 2014, he and Kevin were two hours later for Christmas dinner after spending the day playing on Jack Webster's new Scalextric. They treated the matter very seriously and had a rematch six mon...
Creation and casting
Producer Phil Collinson announced on 9th August 2012 that Faye Windass's then-unnamed father would be making an appearance. He was originally intended to create difficulties for Faye's adoptive mother Anna Windass. Collinson: "We know that Faye's mother is dead, but there's a father out there somewhere and he's going to come along and challenge things for Anna." Joe Duttine's casting was announced on 13th January 2013, just eight days before he made his on-screen debut with Episode 8045 on 21...
Relationship with Sally Webster
Introduced as a shady character, Tim was quickly established as a deadbeat but well-meaning father to Faye, and his thorny relationship with Anna and Owen Armstrongsoftened. In July 2013, Tim was paired romantically with Sally Webster and his storylines became more comedic, with much of the humour coming from Tim's fear of commitment. Duttine played Tim as a man guarding his independence: "Sally's really nice and he definitely does like her. I think he's hanging onto his eternal youth a littl...
Abandoned storyline
In May 2014, the Manchester Evening News reported that producers were casting for a disabled actor in his 40s to play a "cheeky chappy" . Stuart Blackburn revealed in an interview that the character would be called Howie and would be a cousin of Tim: "[Howie] will be providing much more fun for the Websters. In the past, Tim's relationship with Howie has been incredibly fragile. They never see eye to eye, and Howie loves winding up Tim." Blackburn stated in the interview that they were holdin...
