Coronation Steet‘s Eileen Grimshaw is set for even more heartbreak next week, as a tough conversation proves to be too much.
Eileen’s sister Julie Carp recently turned up again on the Cobbles, and Todd and George Shuttleworth recently learned that she had been diagnosed with cancer, and it was terminal. Although Julie wanted to keep it a secret from Eileen, she eventually found out.
In scenes set to air next week, Debbie Webster turns up at Street Cars and demands to know where her booking is, and is angry when Eileen can’t find it.
Eileen, who is unaware about Debbie’s memory issues, which are starting to manifest, apologises and says she’s got a lot on her mind due to Julie’s cancer. Brian Packham is horrified to hear the news.
Later in the week, Julie tells Eileen and Todd that she wants to start talking about her funeral.
Unfortunately, it all gets too much for Eileen and she walks out.
This storyline is leading up to an exit for Sue Cleaver, who announced back in January that she would stepping away from the ITV soap after 25 years.
Despite her departure, Cleaver has been announced for a live event taking place in London in mid-September. Hosted by This Morning‘s Sharon Marshall, the night will feature Cleaver, Jane Danson and Patti Clare sharing behind-the-scenes secrets and reliving some of their favourite moments.
Other dates have been announced across the UK and will feature different cast members, and tickets are available now.
