George offered to buy Craig a drink but he declined and turned to Eileen saying: 'I would like it if I could have a quiet word with you.'
She asked what about before adding: 'Craig, my sister died yesterday and I'm in here having a drink in her memory with her friends so either tell me what it's about or just leave me alone.'
Craig said: 'We need to ask you a few questions down the station in relation to her death.'
Eileen demanded to know what Craig was talking about and who had accused her of doing something.
She turned to George and accused him of reporting her as everyone in the Rovers listened in, before agreeing to go with Craig.
But with her gone, George was horrified to discover the true culprit who reported Eileen - Brian Packham.
Julie's love was furious to think Eileen helped Julie died and said he was proud of reporting her.
George thundered: 'Shame on you.'
Meanwhile at the station Eileen was terrified when Lisa Swain advised her to get a solicitor for an interview under caution.
Viewers know Julie took her own life while facing death from terminal cancer.
As Lisa interviewed her, she demanded to know if Eileen had helped Julie.

But a furious Eileen told her: 'She wanted a cup of tea, I went to get it and that was the last time we spoke.
'If you're implying that I would help her to do it, that I would seriously leave her on her own to die, that I wouldn't be by her side, holding her hand, telling her how much she was loved…'
Then Swain told her that she was facing a murder charge and 14 years in prison should she be charged.
Later at home, Eileen was devastated and told George: 'I'm going to get charged for her murder, killing my own flesh and blood.'
Actress Sue Cleaver will soon leave the soap after quitting 25 years after joining.

Sheep dies ‘after being chased off cliff'
A sheep was killed when it was allegedly chased over a cliff edge in Cornwall, police have said. Members of the public confronted a man following the incident in Polly Joke, near Newquay, on July 27, according to Devon and Cornwall Police, who added that it was alleged the man reacted aggressively. In a statement, the force said: 'We know this incident has had a huge impact on the local community and we can't imagine why anyone would willingly chase or harm an innocent animal. 'Behaviour like this is unacceptable and we will continue to work alongside the investigating officers to bring the offender to justice. 'We believe there were a number of people who witnessed this incident who are yet to come forward but who may be able to assist us in our investigation. 'If you were in the area and have any information that may help us, please, please come forward.' Sam Haylett, of Guildford, Surrey, has denied responsibility for the sheep's death on social media, after a picture of him circulated across several platforms. It was claimed on social media that Mr Haylett and his two teenage sons had chased the sheep, but while he admits he was there, he said another man was responsible. Children 'upset' by shouting man Mr Haylett said: 'Just to set things straight. Yes that is me in the picture that everyone has been sharing around and yes I was down in Cornwall. 'I went away for a week with my whole family to spread my grandma and grandad's ashes at their special place. 'We stopped at a few spots and took lots of beautiful pictures, there were lots of sheep running around the fields and below us.' Mr Haylett said his children became 'upset' because they thought the sheep were stuck, before a man came 'shouting and swearing', accusing his children of chasing the sheep. He said: 'This made the children even more upset! I told him to stop swearing at the children but he continued to shout and said 'How the f--- would you like it if I threw you off the cliff?' to which I replied, 'You would be going first.' Mr Haylett claimed that the man walked towards the single sheep on the edge, which made the sheep run and then slip. He said: 'I'm not sure if it fell down as we were further up and it's very dangerous along there, the man was still shouting so we walked off. 'There was another couple at the top of the path who both said that the man was out of order for shouting at the children and they weren't chasing the sheep.'

For the BBC to survive it must radically change its culture… from top to bottom
Beeb's mess WHAT a sorry mess the BBC has now got itself into. Nothing sums up its self-inflicted plight more than deciding to last night broadcast MasterChef featuring Gregg Wallace and John Torode. 1 After some frantic editing, they stripped the show of all 'jokes' — but still managed to put two stars who were sacked in disgrace just two weeks ago on screen 100 times. Little wonder Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy refused to watch. Meanwhile, as we report today, the probe into allegations of a toxic culture at BBC Breakfast is set to be widened. And the furore over the Corporation's broadcasting of an antisemitic rant by the rapper Bob Vylan continues. It's deeply disturbing that Beeb bosses have been unable to convince Ms Nandy the scandal could not be repeated. From Strictly to Huw Edwards, Auntie lurches from one fiasco to another — with angry viewers fobbed off with that tired old excuse about 'lessons being learned'. This matters because licence-fee payers are forced by law to fund the Corporation — and so have little option but to suck up the mayhem and mismanagement. For the BBC to survive, it must radically change its culture….from top to bottom. Sinking plans LABOUR has unveiled a raft of policies this week aimed at stopping the boats. Each shallow gimmick has already quickly unravelled. John Torode sacked by BBC after being accused of using N-word while singing along to Kanye West song Gold Digger How can ministers catch the people-smugglers 'illegally' advertising crossings on social media given they mostly operate from abroad? How will prosecutors identify those committing a 'criminal offence' by causing overcrowding on the dinghies? Is it the first person on the boat . . . or should it be the last? Labour's one-in-one-out deal with France also looks doomed already as migrants can use human rights laws to fight deportation — while the French have power of veto over any swap. Certainly, the migrants — who arrived by the boatload again yesterday — aren't taking any notice. Kinnock knock DESPERATE patients trapped on endless NHS lists are increasingly turning to private healthcare to get treatment. Many are not rich but use hard-earned savings to do so. Former Labour leader Neil Kinnock — on a massive EU pension and no stranger to paying privately himself — now says they should cough up VAT, too.
