Jason Grimshaw has returned in Coronation Street, and it hasn’t taken him long to get himself up to his neck in trouble. The handsome builder’s homecoming is brewing up more than just family gatherings, it’s paving the way for a romance surprise that could ruffle a few feathers near home.
A Racy Meeting at the Rovers
Jason might have been gone for years, but the cheeky flirtation he so obviously favors obviously hadn’t vanished. No sooner had he returned to the Rovers than he was flirting shamelessly with a woman who obviously impressed him immensely, none other than Danielle, Theo Silverton’s estranged wife.
The two had drinks and laughed together in a booth, and the spark had clearly been lit. Jason turned the charm on, and Danielle seemed to love every second of it… until he spoke his brother Todd’s name. That’s when the situation shifted.
Danielle Connects the Dots in Coronation Street
The moment Jason mentioned Todd’s name, Danielle realized who she was actually sitting with — the brother of the man her husband had cheated on her with. Her face told the whole story. She attempted to be cool, but the shock was etched on her face.
She maintained appearances, at least for now. But with a history like that, it’s only a matter of time before those pent-up emotions come boiling to the top. Off-camera, Ryan Thomas, back as Jason for a brief stint, razzed about his character not quite outgrowing womanising. He revealed that Ryan was a home-wrecker. And. this time around, it might put him squarely in the middle of drama with his brother.
A Return Complicated by More than Romantics
Jason’s return actually screens on Friday, 30 May, and there’s more to it than romantics going wrong. He’s there to surprise his mum Eileen, as part of her departure plot. Jason’s return signals the beginning of Eileen’s farewell, and he’s the one who encourages her to move to Thailand.
But if Jason continues to step on love landmines, Eileen’s goodbye may be served with a side of sibling drama. Will Danielle reveal the truth about who Jason truly is? And how will Todd handle the news if he discovers his brother’s doings?
Things are warming up quickly in Weatherfield, and the Grimshaw family could be in for a dirtier farewell. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for additional sizzling Coronation Street spoilers and behind-the-scenes insider rumors!
