After four decades on Coronation Street, Sally Dynevor, who has portrayed Sally Metcalfe since 1986, reassured fans that her time on the soap isn’t over just yet, despite scaling back her appearances. Recently, her character has been deeply involved in fostering Lou and Mick Michaelis’ children, Joanie and Shanice, as part of a touching storyline with her husband, Tim.
