Sally Metcalfe Sally Metcalfe ( née Seddon , previously Webster ) is a Coronation Street resident since 1986 , wife of Tim Metcalfe , ex - wife of Kevin Webster and mother of Rosie and Sophie . Sally moved to the Street when she married Kevin , escaping a domineering father . They were a well - matched couple - young , lively and carefree , they never tired of each other ' s company . Once married , they bought No . 13 from Hilda Ogden and Rosie and Sophie were born in 1990 and 1994 respectively . Kevin liked the conventional setup of him earning and Sally looking after the kids and the house but Sally felt she was being wasted and , at times , taken for granted . The marriage effectively ended in 1997 when Sally found out that Kevin was having an affair with his business partner Natalie Horrocks . They reconciled when he broke it off with Natalie , but it didn ' t last as the trust between them was gone . However , as Rosie and Sophie got older , Sally and Kevin decided in 2002 to get back together and marry again for their sake . The Sally of the Websters ' second marriage was more ambitious and independent . She became a pushy parent with " gifted " Rosie , and had an affair with Ian Davenport , her boss at upmarket car showroom Davenports , where she was working to pay for Rosie ' s Oakhill School private education . She and Kevin led separate lives and they were often mistrustful of each other . They grew closer again when Sally battled breast cancer in 2009 - receiving a successful treatment - but the following year Sally discovered that throughout most of 2009 Kevin had been sleeping with Molly Dobbs and her son Jack was Kevin ' s . Sally evicted Kevin and they got another divorce . She now lives at No . 4 with partner Tim Metcalfe and daughter Sophie . Aside from Kevin , Sally ' s longest relationships have been with working class types such as Danny Hargreaves ( with whom she owned D & S Hardware ) and Martin Platt . More commonly , Sally goes for powerful men who use her , such as Greg Kelly , Ian Davenport and Frank Foster . This ties in with Sally ' s view of herself as an upwardly mobile woman with a head for business , despite the fact that her longest spells of emloyment were behind the counter at the Corner Shop , a childminder , and a machinist at Underworld . She currently works as PA at the factory and lives at 4 Coronation Street with her husband Tim Metcalfe . Biography . Sally Webster , then Seddon , first appeared as a teenager in 1986 when she met Kevin Webster after he accidentally drenched her when driving through a puddle ; Kevin instantly took a liking to her and he offered her a ride home so she could change and they began dating . Sally ' s family , the Seddons , were dominated by a violent father , and Sally herself had a chequered past . Kevin was the lodger of Hilda Ogden , who initially disapproved of Sally and when asked if she could move in outright refused . However when Sally ' s mother visited demanding money from her daughter to give to her father , Hilda got a glimpse of her terrible home life and took pity on her by allowing her to move in on the condition she and Kevin behaved themselves ( although they often tried to break this rule ) . Sally gradually settled down and she and Kevin soon wed . Sally was always full of spirit , tended to the bossy side and always wanted Kevin to better himself . Several times , she tried to get him to buy the garage , urging her lacklustre husband to become his own boss . Kevin was never that keen on running the place which frustrated Sally to no end . Sally has two daughters by Kevin , Rosie and Sophie . When Sally gave birth to her first child in 1990 , she was in a taxi on Rosamund Street , so she named her baby Rosie . In 1994 , she named her second child Lauren , but Rosie kept calling her ' Sophie ' . Sally and Kevin found themselves preferring ' Sophie ' to ' Lauren ' so the couple legally changed their daughter ' s name . Sally worked as a childminder for a time , and also worked in Mike Baldwin ' s factory as a clerical assistant . After Kevin had an affair with an older woman , Natalie Horrocks When Sally found out she did everything in her power to get revenge on her including flooding her bathing ( while writing ' whore ' on the bathroom mirror to make certain Natalie knew she was responsible ) which led to a cat fight in the street , Sally found being a single mum was very difficult . She took Kevin back temporarily , for the sake of the girls and for security which had always been lacking in her own childhood but that didn ' t last long when she was drawn to the devilish and violent Greg Kelly . That affair blew up her marriage again . It took Sally a while , and several men , including local mechanic Chris Collins with whom she enjoyed a passionate affair , to find her way inevitably back to Kevin . Sally divorced Kevin , and was about to marry Danny Hargreaves , whom she had met while running a stall at the open market , but he backed out of the wedding when he learned she had been unfaithful with Kevin . After a brief relationship with Martin Platt , she remarried Kevin for monetary reasons and to give the children stability . There are some indications that she does actually love him once again , although she cheated on him in 2005 . . . Sally - looking for something challenging in the employment stakes - took a job working as a personal assistant to prosperous garage owner Ian Davenport whose daughter Rosie was going to school with . Her fling with rich Ian Davenport was little more than prostitution to gain financial security for her family and help pay for Rosie ' s private school fees . Ian used her as one in a long succession of women . When he had done with her , she was bitter and resentful , she came crashing back to earth , having risked her family for a callous fling and it stung even more because Kevin knew down deep his wife was unfaithful but was willing to overlook it anyway . Sally turned her ambitions to her oldest daughter , Rosie . When Rosie expressed a passing interest in being a pop star , Sally pushed her onto the stage where she was miserable . In a particularly humorous event Sally was indignant when Ken Barlow misspelled Rosie ' s name twice : as " Dozi Wobster " and then " Rozi Wobster " in the " Gazette " ' s review of her school show " Grease " . She then pushed Rosie into a posh private school and railed against Rosie dating Craig Harris , a neighbourhood lad from a family with a somewhat shady and violent past ( too much like her own ) . The final straw was discovering that Rosie and Craig were having sex even though they were approaching it sensibly . Sally ' s emotions and nerves crumbled and she took Rosie on a wild drive across the M62 en route to a boarding school . Kevin caught up and cradled his broken wife , who confessed about her broken dreams and life in a back street , wanting more for her children than she had . In 2007 , Sally decided to take an A - Level in English and was getting help from John Stape , who she seemed to be growing a crush on . On 5th November , Sally admitted her feelings to John during a lesson and was upset when he told her that her feelings weren ' t reciprocated , not admitting he had actually begun an affair with Rosie , who walked in on her mum being upset by John ' s rejection and wanted to know what was going on . Later John told her so Rosie was now fully aware that her mum was interested in her lover . Also John Stape has stopped the lessons with Sally . On 19th November , after John went to the factory to talk to Sally about Rosie and fellow student Lee Harding , Sally got something in her eye . John tried to help remove it but it looked like they were in a compromising position , just as Fiz Brown and Sean Tully entered the factory . Fiz got the wrong end of the stick and thought they were kissing before slapping Sally . It was revealed on Christmas Day 2007 that Rosie and John had been having an affair . Rosie disappeared in September 2008 , leaving Sally and Kevin distraught . They initially thought that she had ran off with Lottery winnings from the Underworld syndicate until Janice Battersby revealed that she had claimed the cash using Rosie ' s identity . Sally and Kevin received a postcard from Rosie which led them to believe that she was in Holyhead and Sally subsequently went there searching for her to no avail . On 5th November 2008 , Sally and Kevin were reunited with Rosie after discovering that she had been kidnapped by John Stape . After Rosie had returned home safely , Sally ' s boss Tony Gordon immediately came around with flowers which aroused Sally ' s suspicions . When she questioned Rosie about this , Rosie told Sally that she had filmed Tony ' s fianceé Carla Connor and her brother - in - law Liam kissing , and that Tony knew about the footage . Rosie told Sally that she had secretly saved the video to a document on her computer at the factory . Sally went to the factory on the pretense of picking up some of Rosie ' s things and downloaded the video on to a memory stick . Sally used this information at Carla and Tony ' s wedding on 3rd December 2008 . After Carla insulted the Websters , a drunken Sally told Liam ' s widow Maria that he had been having an affair with Carla behind her back and showed her the video clip . Miscellaneous information . Sally is ambitious , sometimes even arrogant , and is considered by various Street residents ( Janice Battersby in particular ) to be quite snobby . Such behaviour is apparent in her attempts to live above her station . In the past she has pressured her family to do much of what she tells them . She tried to force her daughter Rosie into a prestigious school ; Rosie did not want to go . Another event saw her become envious of a friend ' s large house . Once , in fear of being constantly regarded by her daughters as the " bad guy " , Sally would intentionally act passive and forgiving whenever the girls acted up , making Kevin out to be the mean , unfair parent when he scolded them for their behaviour . Kevin eventually got his revenge when he and the girls trashed their house while Sally was out . When she returned home and saw the mess , she couldn ' t keep up her act and became angry , feeling as though her role in the family was unimportant . Kevin told her otherwise , declaring that she always keeps the family in order and on their toes , and that she is genuinely appreciated by all . Quotes . “ Oh my God ! Hey ! Here !
