And we also revealed how Katy Cavanagh has returned as Eileen’s sister Julie Carp for her final months on the show, and that Ryan Thomas is reprising his role as Jason Grimshaw for it.

But now spoilers have revealed that Eileen is growing sick of partner George Shuttleworth and their relationship will not be long for this world.

Next week, Julie decides that she wants to spend the fundraiser money on a trip to the Lakes.

However in the cafe she is clearly in a lot of pain, and Roy gives her a heated wheat sack explaining that Hayley swore by them.

With Roy’s kindness and the pain and the memory of Hayley’s cancer battle, Julie breaks down in tears.

When Brian confides in Roy that he’s still very much in love with Julie, Roy urges him to tell her. But how will Julie react?

Later in the week and with the minibus broken down the group trip to the Lakes is cancelled and Julie says she is happy just to be with friends and family.

Ignoring George’s caution to tread carefully Brian declares his undying love for Julie and says he wants to be by her side till the end.

Eileen is irritated and less than impressed with George for trying to sabotage Brian and Julie’s last shot at happiness and orders him to sleep on the sofa.

It puts doubts in her mind about whether George is really the one for her.

Coronation Street legend makes shock return to show after 14 years

Coronation Street’s 2024 shock exits

Corrie has said goodbye to several cast members this year. Let’s break down who’s left the famous soap:

Eliza Woodrow (Savannah Kunyo) has said farewell to Corrie to start a new life in Germany.

The youngster moved to live with her dad Dom Everett, who went back on the £10,000 bribe Eliza’s grandfather Stu had offered to keep him out of her life.

Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) will bow out of the soap this summer when he loses his fight with motor neurone disease (MND) in tragic scenes.

After being diagnosed last year, the fan favourite was devastated to learn he only had months left to live.

Viewers know he is planning to take his own life to end his suffering.

Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) departed the cobbles after being offered the opportunity of a lifetime to study in America.

Though she struggled to decide with her stepdad Paul’s impending death from MND, she was convinced she had to live her life to the full.

Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) has struggled with the sudden departure of his father Peter from the cobbles.

The Weatherfield legend left his family and loved ones behind on Boxing Day, 2023, when his wife Carla Connor encouraged him to travel around the world with a friend.

Simon’s been on a downward spiral ever since and his exit could end in tragedy.

Alya Nazir is set to leave the cobbles as actress Sair Khan prepares to go on maternity leave ahead of the birth of her first child.

It looks likely she’ll be heading to Dublin after securing a lucrative new job, leaving her colleague and fling Adam Barlow behind.

Show stalwart Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen Grimshaw, is taking a break to star in the Sister Act The Musical UK tour. She will be back filming in May once her dates on the tour come to an end.

Her character left the Street after her son Jason broke his back after falling off a moped in Asia.

Later, Eileen is still feeling unsure about her relationship and Julie tells her that she needs to be with someone who makes her heart sing and should not settle for second best.

What will Eileen do? And how will George cope if Eileen decides to end things?
