It's been a long time coming, but Geoff Metcalfe's reign of abuse was finally exposed on last night's episode of Coronation Street and fans on Twitter couldn't be happier about it.
You can watch the dramatic moment Tim confronts his dad here:

Up to this point Geoff, played by Ian Bartholomew, had managed to evade justice for his vile treatment of wife Yasmeen Nazir (Shelley King), who has been awaiting trial for attempted murder after hitting back at him - but thanks to some sleuth detective work from his son Tim's partner Sally Webster and granddaughter Faye, it looks like Geoff is about to get what's coming to him.
We all held our breath as Sally took a huge risk in sneaking into Geoff's place to take his laptop after coming to believe there could be CCTV footage on there documenting his abuse, but when Geoff returned home and caught her in the act, we thought it was as good as over
Luckily Sally escaped, and with Faye's help, downloaded the CCTV footage that her father-in-law had captured on his phone of Yasmeen crying as he slung insults and bullied her.
"I'm sorry Tim I know you love your dad but, we're doing the right thing."
Magician Geoff still attempted to defend himself, saying he was upset when one of his magic tricks went wrong. However fans rejoiced when Tim finally disowned his father as he was taken away by police at the end of the episode, and justice was finally served.
"FINALLY!!!!!!! Geoff you piece of cr*p!!!!!! FINALLY Coronation Street I'M SO HAPPY" said one overjoyed fan, while another added: "Me, Mum and Dad just cheered at Coronation Street like excited school children because evil Geoff is gonna get caught tonight."

So what will happen now? While we don't know yet how Geoff's storyline will progress, we have a good feeling about this. You'll have to keep watching to find out whether his crimes finally catch up with him and he ends up in prison as a result.
