George offered to buy Craig a drink but he declined and turned to Eileen saying: “I would like it if I could have a quiet word with you.”
She asked what about before adding: “Craig, my sister died yesterday and I’m in here having a drink in her memory with her friends so either tell me what it’s about or just leave me alone.”
Craig said: “We need to ask you a few questions down the station in relation to her death.”
Eileen demanded to know what Craig was talking about and who had accused her of doing something.
She turned to George and accused him of reporting her as everyone in the Rovers listened in, before agreeing to go with Craig.
But with her gone, George was horrified to discover the true culprit who reported Eileen – Brian Packham.
Julie’s love was furious to think Eileen helped Julie died and said he was proud of reporting her.
George thundered: “Shame on you.”
Meanwhile at the station Eileen was terrified when Lisa Swain advised her to get a solicitor for an interview under caution.
Viewers know Julie took her own life while facing death from terminal cancer.
As Lisa interviewed her, she demanded to know if Eileen had helped Julie.

But a furious Eileen told her: “She wanted a cup of tea, I went to get it and that was the last time we spoke.
“If you’re implying that I would help her to do it, that I would seriously leave her on her own to die, that I wouldn’t be by her side, holding her hand, telling her how much she was loved…”
Then Swain told her that she was facing a murder charge and 14 years in prison should she be charged.
Later at home, Eileen was devastated and told George: “I’m going to get charged for her murder, killing my own flesh and blood.”
Actress Sue Cleaver will soon leave the soap after quitting 25 years after joining.
