Joe Duttine and Sally Carman have been together for several years

Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) is in serious danger in Coronation Street this week as he goes up against Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce).

Super Soap Week sees the storyline come to a head as the character once again becomes suspicious of the businessman – and later finds a

body floating in the canal.

And with things becoming even more dramatic in the aftermath of his discovery, speculation is rife that Tim could become Stephen’s final victim – but we’ll have to keep watching to see whether he’s about to make a sad exit.

‘Coronation Street’s been absolutely brilliant for me, and it’s been an absolute joy to work on’, Joe told us, reflecting on the prospect of leaving the show.

‘So, if that’s the way the character has to go, that’s the way he has to go, and I’ll just be grateful for the time I’ve spent here. Obviously, I’d be incredibly sad, but that’s the nature of the show.’

Even if he is bidding farewell to the show, it won’t be the end of Joe’s link to Corrie – as he’s married to one of his co-stars, Sally Carman, aka the soap’sAbi Webster.

The pair, who recently reached a romantic milestone, recently treated fans to their snaps of a weekend away in London – with Sallyvisiting landmarks like Trafalgar Square and a number of restaurants.

‘Had a lovely couple of days in London with this handsome fella,’ Sally wrote, alongside the carousel of photos. ‘Big shout out to the sun for showing up.’

How long have the pair been together, when did they marry – and do they have children?

How long have Joe Duttine and Sally Carman been together?

Rumours that Joe and Sally were dating first began to surface in 2018.

The pair were photographed at the soap’s summer party that year, amid reports they had been on a string of dates together, and told co-stars they were in a relationship.

Sally announced in 2019 that she and Joe had moved in together in a sweet Instagram post.

Sally captioned the message with : ‘We’re in #homesweethome #thelightisntwonkyhonest’.

They took things to the next level when the pair announced in 2020 that they were engaged, after going into lockdown together.

They confirmed their happy news just days after the Coronation Street set was shut down in the wake of the pandemic, with Joe sharing a photo of he and Sally toasting their happy news – and her stunning emerald ring on clear display.

Joe wrote alongside the picture: ‘She said yes everyone, convid 19 can f**k off…’

However, the happy couple later admitted during an appearance on Lorraine that things were far from easy when they first met.

When asked if the pair clicked immediately, Sally stumbled before she said: ‘… Slowly.

‘Friends for a while but then we started sharing puddings and that’s when I thought maybe something was on the boil.’

Despite their union offscreen though, the couple don’t share a lot of scenes together in the soap – which comes as a relief to Sally, as she has admitted she finds it incredibly hard to work with her other half.

‘He’s the funniest man I’ve ever met, to the point where I get sweaty and everyone’s like: “ugh, can you just get on with it?” she told the Daily Star.

‘I never want to work with him ever again. I just can’t do it!’

How long have Joe Duttine and Sally Carman been married?

The couple finally tied the knot in July 2022 after delaying their wedding several times due to the pandemic.

Sally, who wore a blue dress for the occasion, once again shared the happy news with her Instagram followers – showing a photo of her and Joe kissing in front of a ring of balloons.

‘We did’, she wrote, followed by a yellow heart emoji, which is perhaps a reference to her social media caption from 2020, when she announced her and Joe’s engagement with a simple: ‘I did’.

They recently celebrated their first anniversary, with Joe paying tribute to his wife in the form of a watercolour drawing marking their special day.

‘One year, happy anniversary Mrs,’ he captioned the Instagram post – with co-stars including Andrew Whyment and Sally Ann Matthews among those sending congratulatory messages to the couple.

Do Joe Duttine and Sally Carman have children?

The couple do not have any children together.

However Sally is stepmum to Joe’s three children, aged 25, 14 and 12, from a previous relationship.

‘They’re gorgeous kids, it’s so easy and I feel really lucky to have that extension of a family,’ the actress previously told the Mirror.

‘Not to be a mother figure, because they’ve got a mum and they don’t need another, but just to have a relationship and some part in their journey into adulthood is amazing.’
