George Shuttleworth’s love life is about to get a shake-up on Coronation Street but not in the way he hoped! After weeks of moping and missing Eileen, the Weatherfield undertaker finally gets talked into giving romance another shot. But just as things start looking up, a familiar face throws a spanner in the works and sends his big date off the rails.
Glenda Gives George a Push in the Right Direction
George has been keeping to himself lately, clearly still feeling the impact of Eileen’s exit. It’s been a difficult time for him, but next week, Glenda decides it’s time her brother moved on. She encourages him to give online dating a try and helps him set up a profile.
George goes along with it, and soon enough, he has a date lined up with someone called Samantha. In scenes set to air, he’s seen getting ready for the big night. He even showed off a new outfit to Glenda. There’s a bit of nervous energy, but also hope, it’s his first proper date since the breakup, and he’s trying to be optimistic.

But just as things seem to be looking up, George’s night takes an awkward turn. When Samantha arrives, she immediately recognises Glenda, the two of them went to primary school together. What follows is a long catch-up between the old friends, and George quickly finds himself on the sidelines.
Instead of getting to know Samantha, George watches as his sister and his date dominate the conversation. A source from Coronation Street said this was the last thing George wanted to happen. They explained that while George is often used to Glenda being the louder one, being pushed aside during his own date feels especially frustrating. Now he’s left wondering whether the evening can be salvaged. Or if this chance at a new start has already slipped away. For more such updates on Coronation Street, keep following Soap Opera Daily!
