Eileen's dad, Colin Grimshaw, is leaving Coronation Street in May - in a coffin. How this will effect Eileen and poor Rita will be anyone's guess but there's a funeral coming up so get your black hats out. I wonder if Colin's dirty secret comes out before he dies? There's some pictures from Colin's funeral here.
Crikey, well, this has been a long time coming but The Daily Star have got the story first.
Julie Carp's mum will be turning up on Coronation Street at the end of February. Played by actress Sharon Duce, Paula Carp is an old schoolfriend of Eileen Grimshaw's but there's summat mysterious going on as she avoids Eileen like the plague. In a comment on this post, a Canadian fan wonders whether Eileen's dad Colin also, er, knew Paula and she then gave birth to Julie. This would make Eileen and Julie sisters and confirm Colin's status as a right old rogue. It's possible... and I wonder if it's true? And what'll Rita say when she finds out?
