Portrayed by Alan Halsall, the character first appeared on screen during the episode airing on 30 November 1998 and is still a cast member over 25 years later.

[1] Tyrone's storylines have been focused on his relationships with Maria Sutherland (Samia Ghadie) and Fiz Brown (Jennie McAlpine) as well as his doomed marriage to Molly Compton (Vicky Binns) and suffering domestic violence at the hands of his fiancée Kirsty Soames (Natalie Gumede).

The actor confirmed that he was pleased to see Tyrone involved in more storylines, feeling that his character was underused for a long period of time.

[2] Alan Halsall contradicted statements that Tyrone and Molly were the new Jack and Vera, claiming it impossible for him to fill.

[4] In June 2011, it was announced that a new "love interest" for Tyrone would be introduced; Natalie Gumede was cast as Kirsty Soames, making her first appearance later that year.

[5] Executive producer Phil Collinson said: "A big storyline across the summer and into the autumn is Tyrone meeting somebody who's hopefully going to help him move on from Molly and everything that happened.

A Coronation Street source said: "Kirsty will be seen attacking Tyrone and the fallout will be how she feels terrible about it and attempts to show some remorse.".

ManKind, the UK's leading charity for supporting male victims of abuse, praised the storyline for tackling the issue.

After his mother abandons him, Tyrone moves into Jack (Bill Tarmey) and Vera Duckworth's (Liz Dawn) bed and breakfast establishment and adopts a greyhound, Monica.

While seeking a partner for Monica, Tyrone meets and begins dating Maria Sutherland (Samia Smith), a kennel maid and they get engaged in 2002.

When Tyrone opens the egg at The Rovers, Kirk Sutherland (Andrew Whyment) is heard instead, asking how it works.

The following month, Tyrone and Molly visit his mother and discover that she is £1,000 in debt and owes his father's friend money.

Tyrone's joy at his new life is dashed when a month later, Jack (Duckworth) reveals that he has an incurable form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and has only weeks to live.

Tyrone spends Christmas Day with Maria, Kirk and Liam and sees the New Year in with Sally, both feeling 2011 has to be better than 2010.

In early January, Kevin attacks Tyrone after learning that he and Sally spent two nights together and assumes that something has happened between them.

Then, in February, Tyrone dates Julie Carp (Katy Cavanagh) briefly, but they break up as they agree that they are not right together.

In March, Tyrone is incensed when Kevin wins £200,000 on a scratchcard, feeling he has no right to it and tells Sally just before she signs the divorce papers.

The next day, when Tyrone sees Kevin sack Tommy and head off on a call-out, he loses it and attacks the ramp with a 32-inch spanner before going to the Rovers.

Kirsty insists that her job would be jeopardised by having a criminal as a friend so Tyrone agrees to keep his distance from Fiz but is shocked.

Tina makes a complaint regardless but Tyrone persuades her to drop it, due to Kirsty's pregnancy, and she reluctantly agrees.

Kirsty later helps Tommy and Tyrone expose a crooked local councillor but loses her job as she is caught breaking the law.

Unfortunately, Kirsty's violent outbursts continue after Ruby is born, making it clear to Tyrone that pregnancy hormones were not the problem, after all.

Distraught, Tyrone plans to snatch Ruby and run but Fiz and Tommy persuade him that he should marry Kirsty so he will have parental rights.

Tina is horrified when she finds out and tells Tyrone to take Kirsty to court, rather than marry her, but he insists he knows what he is doing and goes ahead regardless.

This sparks another beating when she finds Fiz has given him a birthday card and, feeling guilty, Kirsty wants to call off the wedding, but Tyrone refuses.

Fiz and Tina stand by Tyrone and convince him to fight for Ruby when he is released on bail, but Kirsty threatens to refuse him all access if he does not return to her.

The couple is devastated when they learn that Hayley Cropper (Julie Hesmondhalgh) is dying from pancreatic cancer, and help her and her husband Roy (David Neilson) through the terrible situation.

In October 2015, it is revealed Hope is suffering from a type of childhood cancer called neuroblastoma,[9] plunging Fiz and Tyrone into panic.

In August 2019, Hope is referred to a specialist school due to her disruptive behaviour and is taught at home by care worker Jade Rowan (Lottie Henshall), who moves in with Fiz and Tyrone and is later revealed to be the daughter of John Stape.

In January 2021, Alina Pop (Ruxandra Porojnicu) moves into Fiz and Tyrone's house after she is forced to leave the salon flat due to Ray Crosby's (Mark Frost) development.
