Although she's returned to her house, it looks like Eileen IS going to leave the street for good?
Struggling to find Jan, Eileen meets a sullen Seb who admits that he's told Sean everything. Easily forgiving him, Eileen then heads out to the hospital in search of Jan.
Outside the county ground, Steve and the gang try to charm the security guard to let them scatter the ashes. The lad's charm falls flat but (as predicted) Emma's emotional plea wins the guard over, and her beloved father is scattered on hollowed Wethy County turf. Ditching the urn in a bin, Emma seems to have found closure now the deed is done. Back at The Rovers, the group reconvene and raise a toast to Emma's Dad.
On Maxine's bench, Sean delivers a heartfelt soliloquy to Beth, professing his loneliness and displaying a (rarely seen) depth of character. Eileen and Jan's situation has obviously affected him. Are we glad to see Sean involved in a storyline?
Meanwhile, Daniel and Sinead reconcile and the wedding plans seem back on track. Later at the bistro, Daniel gushes about Bethany's blog, and Bethany blushes at the compliments. Glad to see a smile on her face!
Arriving at the hospital, Eileen heads to Jan's room, only to be told that he's discharged himself and in the next scene, we see him heading away in a taxi. Wouldn't the police & armed guard have stopped him?
Fiz tells Hope that she's going to be homeschooled, much to Ruby's annoyance. Although she's keeping the factory shares, Fiz seems to have forgotten that she and Tyrone were massively in debt, not that long ago?
Later, and after a pint, Tyrone heads home and interrupts Fiz on the phone. Who was she talking too?
Back on Coronation Street, a panicked Eileen is confronted by Seb and Sean, and Sean has a confession to make; Jan has left for good, and won't be coming back for her.
Eileen takes the news hard and vengefully riles at Sean for meddling in her life (again).
Was Sean right to frighten off Jan or is Eileen correct to be mad about Sean's (implied) selfish interfering?
I know they are BFF's from long ago, but Sean never really told Eileen he was homeless, and Eileen's real confidante these days, is Liz, I reckon.
Although I'm happy Eileen isn't leaving, I quite liked Jan. Is this the last we will see of him?
