Coronation Street’s Geoff Metcalfe could have orchestrated the row between Yasmeen Nazir and Cathy Matthews on tonight’s episode, according to Corrie fans.
Geoff (Ian Bartholomew) insisted he wanted to spend some quality alone time with wife Yasmeen (Shelley King), plotting a movie-night for two.
When Cathy (Melanie Hill) called over to the house to vent about her run-in with shopkeeper Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin), Yasmeen started to panic.
Terrified that Cathy might spoil Geoff’s plans, Yasmeen attempted to usher Cathy out of the house – only for the Corrie villain to return.
Playing nice, Geoff insisted Cathy should stay for lunch, as the trio sat down to munch on ham sandwiches.
Yasmeen grew increasingly anxious over Cathy’s presence as the meal went on, with tensions eventually reaching boiling point.

Things reached a climax when Cathy quizzed Yasmeen over her marriage to Geoff, wondering whether there were any issues between them.
Yasmeen snapped: “There isn’t any dirt to dish. If anyone’s a problem in this relationship it’s me.
“It’s not always a mans responsibly to be open and honest. Women think of themselves as perfect but they aren’t.”
Taking the outburst personally, Cathy demanded to know what Yasmeen truly thought of her.

Yasmeen exploded, saying: “You really want to know what I think? I think you find it easier to blame others rather than address your own shortcomings.”
Cathy stormed out the door, before turning and asking: “What the heck has gotten into you?”
Watching the scene unfold, viewers were convinced Geoff had planned the fight, for Cathy to serve as “witness” to Yasmeen’s increasingly erratic behaviour.
One said: “Geoff wants Cathy to stay as a witness.”

A second agreed: “What’s Geoff up to? I’m convinced he’s trying to break the friendship between Yasmeen and Cathy.”
While a third chimed: “Wow how manipulative Geoff is engineering a row with Yas and Cathy.”
Can Cathy and Yasmeen ever mend their broken friendship?
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7pm.
