Timothy Osmond "Tim" Metcalfe is the biological father of Faye Windass and husband of Sally. Tim abandoned Faye to her heroin-addicted mother Jenny Butler when Faye was two years old, later coming to regret the decision. He was given a second chance when Faye found him on the internet and arranged a meeting. His return caused problems between Faye and her adoptive mother Anna Windass, particularly when he moved into Coronation Street, but once the novelty wore off for Faye a healthy relationship emerged which worked for all parties concerned.
