CORONATION Street fans have all been left with the same complaint following Tim Metcalfe's horrific attack on the show.

Viewers of the ITV soap opera have been left concerned that the cabbie's mum and wife have been unable to recognise that he is struggling in the aftermath of what happened to him.

During the programme's Super Soap Week, Tim was left for dead by the murderous Stephen Reid in the back of his own taxi on Coronation Street.

Although he managed to free himself and get his way back home to Weatherfield, it has been clear that it has affected him more than he has let on.

Sally and Elaine appeared to be concerned for Tim, particualrly after he suddenly disappeared when he was meant to be driving Elaine home, although they both failed to many any correlation to the fact that Tim was getting back behind the wheel of a car – the first time since the scary attack.

It led to ITV viewers to call out the duo for failing to realise and understand Tim's trauma despite them all having experienced similar situations in the past.

Fans were left flocking to X – formerly Twitter – to give their opinion on the situation.

One wrote online: "As if it wouldn’t even occur to Sally & Elaine that Tim would be suffering trauma- you don’t need to be Freud to figure that out."

Another suggested that Tim's physical injuries alone would cause a setback for a long drive back to Elaine's.

They said: "Why would Sally & Elaine even think someone would be ok to drive after severe trauma and head injury ffs?"

His flashbacks also weighed heavy on viewers minds with one penning:  "I feel sorry for Tim, the flashbacks are horrible, he needs professional help…"

Someone else said: "I reckon Tim will have another breakdown/flashback while driving." 

Before a fellow fan echoed: "Is Tim okay to drive? Those flashbacks are not good."

Tim had taken aim with Stephen ever since the shady businessman threw himself at Elaine.

His feelings never appeared to be genuine as he seemed more interested in her money and a fake life insurance policy.

It gave Tim cause for concern and he was later left baffled when he saw him acting more suspiciously than usual by the canal.

The pair's showdown was the start of Stephen's downfall before he was eventually mowed down by Peter Barlow in front of all his family and neighbours.
