The cruel and abusive Geoff Metcalfe (Ian Bartholomew)’s treatment of his wife Yasmeen Nazir (Shelley King) has shocked fans, as he’s convinced poor Yasmeen and others that she’s an alcoholic.

Evil Geoff has also hidden cameras all over her home and even taken her cash cards away from her.

As if that weren’t more than enough for one person to be dealing with, Geoff may soon step up his foul treatment of his wife…

Is Geoff cheating on Yasmeen on Coronation Street?

It’s not yet known for sure whether Geoff is cheating on his wife, but we do know that he will soon be seen meeting a stranger.

If he is having an affair, then there’s every chance he’d use that as yet another way to make Yasmeen feel worthless.

Ian said of the storyline: ‘I knew where it was going but I wasn’t sure how far it was going to go. All the early stuff was deliberately ambiguous as I wasn’t entirely sure how it was going to develop.

‘Since then it has become clearer that his behaviour is becoming more and more unacceptable in a sociological sense and it is very interesting to play, it is difficult, he is not a moustache twirling villain so with that comes challenges as he is the sort of villain who has very few if any redeeming features.

‘I am shocked each week when I get my scripts and find out what he is going to do next.’

While most people in Weatherfield are none the wiser when it comes to his abuse of Yasmeen, his facade as a loving husband is starting to crack as Tim (Joe Duttine) and Eileen (Sue Cleaver) know that Geoff cruelly locked his wife in a box under the pretence of practising for a magic trick.

The claustrophobic Yasmeen was left to have a panic attack while Geoff went to the pub.

Eventually, Tim (Joe Duttine) came to her rescue and forced the box open, and later he agreed with Eileen (Sue Cleaver) that shutting one’s wife in a box is far from normal.

Could Geoff’s vile secret finally be about to come to light?

Coronation Street is next on tonight at 7:30pm on ITV.
