Glenda Shuttleworth has been busy lately. She’s dealt with a scary break-in at the Rovers, a conflict over the family business, and a brief romance. With all that going on and uncertainty around the pub’s future, it’s no wonder fans are asking if Glenda is leaving Coronation Street. The answer is finally clear, and it’s not what many expected.
From Cruise Ships to the Cobbles of Coronation Street
Glenda first arrived on the Street in 2022, after working on a cruise ship. She quickly made her presence known. As George Shuttleworth’s sister, she found her place behind the bar at the Rovers, bringing her love of karaoke and big personality.
Since then, she has become more involved in Weatherfield life. In 2023, she bought a franchise of the Little Big Shotz theatre school, a perfect fit for her showbiz background. That same year, she briefly dated Michael Bailey, but the romance ended just as quickly as it started.
Not long after, her storyline took a darker turn. During the pub break-in, Glenda was attacked, leaving her shaken and revealing a more vulnerable side.
To make things more complicated, she inherited half of the family funeral business. While the news surprised her, it caused serious tension with George, who reacted poorly. They haven’t completely fallen out, but their relationship has definitely been strained since then.
Jodie Prenger Signs a New Deal to Stay
Despite the turmoil in Glenda’s storyline, fans can relax. Jodie Prenger has confirmed she will remain with Coronation Street for another year. In an interview with Bella Magazine, Jodie shared the news, saying, “I’ve just re-signed my contract! The poor thing’s have got stuck with me for another year!”
She even revealed that she used to ask her agent often to help her join the show. “I was that crazy person outside, pitched in a tent, wanting to get in, and now I’m in!” she joked. Clearly, this role means a lot to her, and viewers are glad she’s staying. Meanwhile, Metro has reached out to Coronation Street for comment, but there hasn’t been an official response yet.
What Could Be Next for Glenda?
With Jodie’s future on the show secure, attention shifts to what’s next for Glenda. She’s currently managing the Rovers, but the pub is still up for sale, and Carla Connor hasn’t had much luck finding a buyer. This raises several questions. Could Glenda take on a bigger role at the Rovers? Or might she face more unexpected challenges?
It’s also important to note that her troubled relationship with George hasn’t fully healed, and the emotional impact of the break-in is still present. Knowing Glenda, she won’t remain in the background for long. Whether it’s family drama, pub politics, or a spontaneous karaoke session, she’s sure to be at the center of something.
