Glenda waltzes into town!
Musical theatre star Jodie Prenger is joining Coronation Street as George Shuttleworth’s sister Glenda.
Glenda – a cruise ship singer – will land on the cobbles this August and quickly take her position as one of the Rovers’ iconic barmaids.
Jodie said: “I know I sound like a soppy sod, but it’s been on my bucket list to be in Coronation Street since I was little.
“It’s an honour, it truly is a very special moment in my life.
“To be part of something my family and I have loved for so long. And what a character, oh I have to say, total dream part.
“I can’t wait for you all to meet fun and sassy Glenda, George Shuttleworth‘s sister.
“I love Tony Maudsley already, what a fella! Your first day on the cobbles is one of the most nerve wrecking experiences you’ll go though and everyone was just so gloriously lovely, kind and welcoming.
“It was, and is, everything I expected, and more.”
Fiz’s wedding disaster
It’s a wedding on Coronation Street so you can bet your bottom dollar Fiz Stape‘s big day is not going to go to plan.
Sure enough. with Hope kicking off about her dress, interfering mother-in-law Mimi injured and Phill’s ex showing up, it looks like it’ll end in tears.
Couple all this with the registrar being cancelled and Tyrone declaring his love for Fiz hours before the nuptials, what will she do?
Will she marry Phill?
Or does she go back to Tyrone?
Toyah Battersby goes down?
Toyah was responsible for causing husband Imran Habeeb’s death.
She purposefully drove into a wall after realising he had taken away her last chance at being a mother.
She has been charged and released on bail, but feeling completely lost she is thrilled to see ex-boyfriend Spider again.
However he’s about to get her in all sorts of trouble that could see her banged up for good…
Spider Nugent’s back!
Eco-warrior Spider is returning after 20 years but will he want to reunite with his ex?
Or is he bringing tragic news about his beloved aunt Emily Bishop?
He gets Toyah involved in a protest with his fellow activists over the summer. But is he leading her further astray?
Just why has Spider returned? And does he have a big secret?
Sally and Tim this summer in Coronation Street

Wendy Crozier returns to the street
Another major return for the cobbles is Wendy FLAMIN’ Crozier.

But what will happen when she inevitably meets Ken?
Is there another reason she’s back in town? What is Wendy hiding?
Sean’s son returns
For a man who rents a room from a taxi operator, Sean Tully has no qualms about bringing his teenage son to live with him.
