Kirsty, portrayed by Natalie Gumede, was Tyrone Dobbs ex-fiance. The character made her first appearance in the ITV soap in 2011. Tommy Duckworth, during a night out, paid her to flirt with Tyrone, but she ended up enjoying his company. Tyrone later found about this, and was gutted, but Kirsty made it quite clear that she wasnt interested in playing any games, as she really did like him. Kirsty abused Tyrone in an acclaimed domestic abuse story (Picture: ITV)  The pair kissed on his doorstep. Kirsty, who had been a victim of domestic abuse herself, soon headed down a dark path, after she moved in with Tyrone. Her controlling tendencies came to the forefront, and she was an expert at manipulation. She soon became aggressive, and incredibly violent, lashing out at Tyrone and beating him on several occasions, in what would become an award-winning domestic abuse storyline. Tyrone planned to leave Kirsty in the wake of her actions, but he ultimately returned home after she apologised. Kirsty, meanwhile, gave birth to Ruby, and Ty resolved to stay with her in the hopes of getting custody of his child. The young man soon embarked on an affair with Fiz, and when Kirsty found out, she railed at him on their wedding day. A showdown, however, resulted in her falling down the stairs, and she subsequently accused Ty of abusing her.
