Fans of Coronation Street have begun to predict sinister motives behind the return of Eliza Woodrow’s father, which was featured in last night’s episode. What exactly is he up to?
Scenes in last night’s episode saw Eliza go missing after lying to Stu and Yasmeen about visiting a holiday club for the day. Stu discovered that there was no holiday club, and the pair searched frantically for Eliza.
Eliza’s father revealed – but what does he want?
Yasmeen and Stu found Eliza in the Precinct, talking to a strange middle-aged man.
Viewers have seen Eliza speaking to this stranger online in recent episodes. This man was then revealed to be Eliza’s father.
But what does he want? Viewers had their predictions about his intentions for Eliza and the family, and the outlook isn’t good.

“Perhaps Eliza can [bleep] off and live with her dad, permanently and never visit. Perhaps the dad will ask Stu for money to [bleep] off,” another suggested, echoing thoughts that he is only in it for Stu’s money.
