Sinead Tinker in hospital following the crash
Sinead Tinker is to be left scared in forthcoming Coronation Street scenes that she could be paralysed following a mini-bus crash.
The Underworld worker played by Katie McGlynn will be seriously injured after the vehicle transporting her and her colleagues is left hanging over the edge of a cliff, and she only regains consciousness once taken to the hospital.
McGlynn explained: "She's hospitalised and she eventually comes round when she's there. She's scared and I think she just wants answers, she wants to know how badly injured she is but I think she knows it's serious because she says she's in so much pain."
Asked what's going through her character's head at that point, she continued: "She's really, really scared and she tells the doctor that she's scared stiff. She's really upset about it but she's relieved when [her boyfriend] Chesney [Sam Aston] comes in. It's really hard for her."
Sinead's later told that she has to undergo an operation, which will see her take a long time to recover from.
"[The doctors] ask her to tell them how much pain she's in and tell her that she's badly injured her back. She has some tests and the doctors tell her she needs an operation. She's so scared, she's really devastated that this has happened."
