Former Cobbles star Ryan Thomas shared a love heart emoji, with Craig Tinker actor Colson Smith adding, "Get that rested up for Christmas Party," with a party popper emoji.
Ahead of his surgery, Halsall recently revealed a huge twist on the horizon for his character that involves his on-screen grandmother Evelyn. Since Tyrone was reunited with his estranged mother Cassie, he's grown apart from Evelyn — with trouble not far away.
"Although Evelyn keeps saying Cassie's going to bring problems to the door, Evelyn is about to do something which causes them all huge problems," he told Inside Soap. "And Tyrone then tries to pick up the pieces of the family."
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
