Big changes are sweeping across Coronation Street, and none are more seismic than the shake-up at the Rovers Return. Longtime landlady Jenny Connor faces a crushing blow as her time behind the bar comes to an emotional and dramatic end. Carla Connor’s unexpected and ruthless business decision sends shockwaves through the cobbles, leaving Jenny heartbroken and Glenda Shuttleworth stepping into a role no one saw coming.

As the new week begins, the Rovers Return is brimming with potential buyers. The historic pub, a staple in the heart of Weatherfield, is officially up for grabs after a storm of betrayals and financial missteps. Jenny, who once saw herself as the lifeblood of the pub, is left with no other choice but to walk away—pushed out not just by circumstance, but by Carla’s final, devastating move.

The trouble began months ago when Jenny and her stepdaughter Daisy Midgeley decided to secure ownership of the pub using embezzled money—£250,000 stolen from Underworld’s accounts by the now-deceased Stephen Reid. When Carla discovered the betrayal, she was furious. Though an uneasy agreement for repayment was made, Carla’s health struggles, including the cost of a second kidney transplant, put a strain on her finances and her patience. She demanded the money back—immediately.

Unable to produce the full amount, Jenny’s hopes of salvaging her place at the Rovers crumbled. Even after inheriting £60,000, she attempted to work out a deal, but betrayal struck again—from within her own circle. Daisy, reeling from secrets and resentment, catfished Jenny and her mother Christina, intercepting Jenny’s inheritance and leaving her with nothing to bargain with.

Now, the unthinkable has happened. With Jenny’s resources depleted and her back against the wall, Carla officially takes action—putting the Rovers on the market. As prospective buyers stroll in and out of the pub’s doors, Jenny makes a heartbreaking decision to step aside and pack up. Her once-proud reign as the Rovers’ landlady ends not with dignity, but with bitter defeat.

To make matters worse, Carla swiftly names a new manager to take over: Glenda Shuttleworth. With Ryan Connor joining Debbie Webster’s new venture and staffing gaps appearing at the pub, Carla sees Glenda as the best option. Jenny, meanwhile, is left to quietly move in with her confidante Rita Tanner, haunted by a legacy lost.

Glenda’s first shift as manager, however, doesn’t exactly go smoothly. Faced with staffing issues and unfamiliar responsibilities, her optimism is quickly tested. Carla may have handed her the keys to the pub, but the real challenge lies in living up to Jenny’s legacy. Will Glenda rise to the occasion, or will Carla come to regret forcing Jenny out so harshly?

Elsewhere in Weatherfield, the drama continues to escalate, especially with Kit Green. Kit, revealed last year as Bernie Winter’s long-lost son, continues to wrestle with his past, secrets, and a growing connection to two of the Street’s newest and most problematic residents—Mick and Lou Malis.

Kit’s initial arrival was rocky. Resentful over being put up for adoption, his reunion with Bernie was made even more complicated by the recent death of his adoptive mother. His relationship with his newfound family—especially half-sister Gemma—has improved since then, particularly following the tragic death of Paul Foreman. Yet, Kit remains a figure of mystery and tension.

Now, new flashback episodes promise to shed light on Kit’s turbulent early life. A photo discovered by Bernie in Kit’s bin reveals a link to Mick and Lou that dates back to their youth. The upcoming flashbacks will expose secrets that explain Kit’s present-day behavior, tracing his rebellious streak to formative experiences with Mick and Lou. Played by younger actors in these scenes, viewers will witness how the trio’s complicated histories collide with their current circumstances.

Tensions mount further when Kit learns that Lou and Mick’s son, Brody—recently released from a secure training center—might actually be his biological child. When Kit uncovers Brody’s birthdate, the timeline forces him to consider the unthinkable. Could Lou have kept a child from him? And what role does he have in a teenager’s life that has already been shaped by Mick’s influence?

Jacob Roberts, who plays Kit, hints that the truth may hit his character hard. Despite any biological connection, Kit might feel there’s no going back, no way to undo the years of damage. Still, he begins to lean on Bernie for support in this confusing time. Her unwavering presence—despite their rocky past—could prove to be Kit’s anchor.

Meanwhile, viewers were left reeling after the recent emotional exit of beloved character Julie Karp. After spending a final day by the lake with her sister Eileen, Julie’s terminal cancer storyline ended in heartbreak. A powerful video message to her loved ones foreshadowed her final goodbye, delivering poignant reflections on love and life. But when Eileen returned with tea to find Julie lifeless, the grief hit home.

Eileen’s son Todd later suggested Julie may have taken her own life, believing she chose her final moment while Eileen was briefly away. The implication rocked viewers and added an emotional weight to an already devastating episode. Julie’s death, paired with Daisy’s abrupt departure, has left fans questioning the rapid succession of losses on the show.

With major characters leaving, shocking betrayals reshaping beloved institutions, and dark secrets coming to light, Coronation Street is entering a new chapter—one filled with heartbreak, revelations, and transformation. Jenny may be gone from the Rovers, but her spirit lingers. As Carla pushes forward with her plans and Glenda adjusts to her new role, Weatherfield braces for even more upheaval.

Will Carla come to regret ousting Jenny? Will Kit’s past drag him back into old patterns? And could Brody’s parentage spark a new war on the cobbles? One thing’s for certain: nothing in Coronation Street will ever be the same again.
