Coronation Street 'to bring back legend' to run Street Cars after Eileen's exit


Coronation Street fans are convinced they know who will replace Eileen Grimshaw at Street Cars after she made her exit from the soap last week after 21 years

The character's swansong involved breaking it off with George Shuttleworth (portrayed by Tony Maudsley) and embarking on a new chapter in Thailand alongside her son Jason (Ryan Thomas), amidst the sorrow of losing her sister Julie Carp (played by Katy Cavanagh). At present, the venture is helmed by stalwart Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) – with Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) also holding the fort as a manager, reports Leicestershire Live. Whispers among the audience soon turned to speculation that Liz McDonald, played by Beverley Callard, might make a dramatic comeback to run the enterprise with son Steve.
