TWO Coronation Street stars to exit soap next week – and huge clue a THIRD could follow them
It was previously revealed that a famous actor will make a highly-anticipated return to the cobbles as part of the departure storyline.
In January this year, it was announced that former I’m A Celebrity campmate Sue Cleaver, 61, will leave Coronation Street.
After 25 years, she will depart the serial drama and leave her role as Eileen Grimshaw behind.
As part of her exit storyline, Ryan Thomas, 40, will reprise his role as her on-screen son Jason Grimshaw.
He will cause trouble on the street as he flirts with Danielle Silverton (Natalie Anderson).
She is the estranged wife of Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) who of course had an illicit affair with his brother Todd (Gareth Pierce).
However, spoilers also hint that Eileen’s partner George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) could also be departing the show.
On the ITV serial drama, Eileen will contemplate her entire future as she is even left questioning her relationship.
He is set to get down on one knee and pop the question to her, but in awkward scenes Elineen does not seem as keen as he thought.
Meanwhile, Jason has set up a business in Thailand and he wants his mother to join him and move abroad.
Eileen will be extremely tempted by her son’s offer as he asks her to be his new partner in the business.
When he mentions George, Eileen thinks that he would not want to go across the world with her.
But, George is keen to prove Eileen wrong when word gets back to him, and he will make a huge gesture.
He will book a holiday as a test run as he offers to leave Weatherfield with her and her son.
However, will Eileen stay with George as she prepares to leave the street she has called home for 25 years?
Will there be a sad split or will George be leaving the show with Eileen?
Meanwhile, Sue admitted that she feels that the storyline is the perfect send off for her iconic character.
Speaking about her forthcoming departure, she explained: “I said very much that I would like her to go off to pastures new, you know, to kind of mirror what I’m doing in a sense.
“And I just think it’s time for a change. So it was perfect.”
She added to The Mirror: “I’m so happy with the ending, and I was so humbled by it and the way it had been written and what it is.
“I felt very grateful to have such a wonderful ending written. It seemed very, very apt.”
The actress also admitted that she wanted Ryan Thomas to come back for her exit.
Sue told the outlet: “When I decided to leave, like over a year ago, I rang Ryan, and I said, ‘Ryan, I’m going to tell them that I’m going, and if they ask me about exits, I’d really like to say that you’d come back and take me out, but I don’t know whether they’d go for it or not’.
