Coronation Street character found dead in heartbreaking twist as fans left 'furious'
Coronation Street fans are in for some heartbreaking scenes next week, as one fan favourite will be saying her final goodbyes to the cobbles.
Julie Carp (Katy Cavanagh) returned to the soap earlier this year ahead of Eileen's (Sue Cleaver) exit from the cobbles. However it was later revealed that she was terminally ill with cancer, and only had months to live.
Sadly, Julie will be saying her final goodbyes next week, and in devastating scenes she will be seen recording devastating videos of herself on her phone for her loved ones to see when she is gone.
In heartbreaking scenes, Julie and Eileen take in the breath-taking views at the lake - as J ulie admits there's no place she'd rather be. Prior to this, Eileen is left furious with George as he plans a romantic evening for the two forgetting he was supposed to be taking her and Julie for a day out at the lake.
Eileen takes a cab to the lake, and meanwhile at No.11, George stumbles across a video where Julie advises Eileen to call time on her relationship with him.
Back at the lake, as per Julie's request, Eileen heads to the refreshment van. She then returns to find her sister lying on her back as Eileen checks for a pulse in a panic.
As an upset Eileen mulls over Julie's death, George worries about Julie's final message to Eileen and the future of their relationship which only annoys Eileen further.
Fans have been left furious with the reveal, as one took to X, previously known as Twitter to write: "Corrie is going to far with all these depressing storylines. Relationships breaking up. Need some fun and happy storylines to balance them out."
Speaking on her return to the soap earlier this year, Katy said: "It was really lovely to get the call. It is something I haven't thought about for many years. And I'm very fond of Julie, so it was a good feeling.
"It also felt good to be asked to be part of Eileen's departure story it is perfect to come and have some closure on Julie and Eileen, to kind of revisit her. And, you know, there was such a lovely vibe between Julie and Eileen," she continued.
"Sue and I go back to my very first job on The Cops so it is a full circle moment. It also attracted me as it was for a short set period of time and I could fit it in with the other things going on in my life."
Julie first left Weatherfield in 2015 after her relationship with Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin) broke down.

However, he swears he didn't commit it. In a desperate attempt, to save her son, Jo takes a huge risk and begins to smuggle drugs over the boarder through her job - but how will things pan out? Fans sat down at 9pm to watch the first instalment on Channel 4, starring Katherine Kelly, but it seemed like a number of fans had the same comment, as they took to X, formerly known as Twitter to complain. It comes after BBC Death in Paradise's Kris Marshall shares heartbreak over being sacked and losing job. Fans had no complaints about the series, just the lack of it. "Too many bloody ads," said one disappointed viewer, while another penned: "More adverts than programme!" Aside from the adverts, the series had good reviews, with excited fans ready to watch the new series. One penned: "I Can't wait! I'm going to have to watch the rest of the series on 4 now!"

"She turns to her ex, Dom, for help. However, no matter how far Jo finds herself from her old life, her mission remains the same: to keep her son alive. "Set against the fast-paced, high-pressure backdrop of international air travel, In Flight follows Jo's relentless quest to protect her family while entangled in a dangerous criminal syndicate."

The Chase fans fume 'worst team ever' as player caught out in brutally short final
The Chase viewers were not impressed with the team performance during Tuesday's episode (August 12) Viewers of The Chase were left shouting at their telly during the final chase after one contestant had a disastrous round. On Tuesday's episode (August 12), Bradley Walsh welcomed four new contestants to the popular ITV quiz show. He introduced Ian, Casey, Nicola, and Wayne to the audience at home before they put their trivia knowledge to the test. This week, the foursome faced off against Mark 'The Beast' Labbett who was certainly on top form. First to step up was Ian who impressed viewers with his remarkable skills, racking up a solid £8,000 in the cash-builder round. However, he crumbled during the head-to-head and was swiftly sent packing after just four questions. Next was Casey, who also wowed the former Coronation Street star with his general knowledge, bagging £5,000 in the cash-builder. Sadly, Casey followed in her teammate's footsteps and was sent home without a penny after failing to make it through to the final chase against the professional quizzer, reports the Express. Hoping to change the tide, Nicola stepped up to the plate but struggled noticeably in the cash-builder round, only managing to scrape together £2,000. But against all odds, Nicola managed to outwit the Chaser and secure her spot in the final chase. Lastly, Wayne took on the challenge and earned a respectable £4,000 in the cash-builder round. But like many of his teammates, he was caught by the Chaser, leaving Nicola to face him alone in the final round. Before entering the final round, The Beast told her to "focus on answering the question that Bradley gives you" but when the crucial moment arrived, she crumbled under pressure. Nicola managed to correctly answer just four questions in the final round, missing "obvious questions" such as "What 16th century Armada was nicknamed the Espanial Armada?" Following a disappointing performance, she laughed: "I think it's fair to say I might get caught" and the contestant wasn't mistaken, with The Beast catching her within a mere 20 seconds. It wasn't long before viewers flocked to X - formerly known as Twitter - to express their frustration online, with one user posting: "that was the worst team I've ever seen" as another agreed: "I actually feel dumber from watching that episode [face palm emoji]." A third echoed: "Never ever have I seen such a failyre... 2k in the pot! ... Only 5 wuestions to be answered! Done in 20 seconds! Shocking" as another agreed: "Shocking final chase." Meanwhile others were quick to offer sympathy to the player, with one user writing: "It's easy to criticise when you're sat at home, it won't be so easy when you're on the show." Another agreed: "It's a brave thing to do on your own, Nicola. Best wishes." The Chase airs on weekdays from 5pm on ITV1 or catch up on ITVX.
