Next week on Coronation Street, what begins as a heartfelt farewell to Julie Carp quickly unravels into an emotionally charged event for Eileen Grimshaw. Between a shocking accusation and an unexpected romantic gesture, Eileen’s world is turned upside down, just as a familiar face returns to the cobbles.
Julie’s Final Farewell Goes Off the Rails
Julie, who took her own life after fighting stage four sarcoma, is finally laid to rest. But her funeral is not peaceful at all. When Eileen gives Brian Packham a letter written by Julie, he’s shocked to learn that her life insurance payout has been bequeathed in full to Eileen.
Even after insisting she was unaware of the policy until Julie died, Tracy Barlow takes no time at all turning the knife, implying that there could have been ulterior motives for Eileen. The vicious suggestion hurts, and Eileen lashes out at George Shuttleworth, angry that the day which is supposed to be dedicated to her sister has become a circus.

Just as she is able to react, the moment is disrupted. Jason Grimshaw enters, fresh from Thailand, surprising his mum totally.
Will Eileen Say Yes—or Walk Away?
