Sue Cleaver reflects on '25 years of laughs' after Coronation Street exit
Eileen Grimshaw had a special send-off during Friday's episode of the soap, where she was seen leaving for Thailand alongside her son Jason Grimshaw, played by Ryan Thomas. Simon Gregson's character Steve McDonald, Tony Maudsley's George Shuttleworth, and Eileen's son Todd, played by Gareth Pierce, all said goodbye to the matriarch before drivers from the local taxi firm honked their horns as she was driven off. In an Instagram post, Cleaver said: 'Well… that's a wrap. 25 years of laughs, tears, costumes, chaos — and one unforgettable journey. A post shared by Sue Cleaver (@officialsuecleaver) 'I'll miss this character like crazy, but what a ride it's been. Thank you for every moment.' Cleaver has played the outspoken and uncomplicated Eileen in the ITV show since 2000. Eileen came to Weatherfield to work at the local taxi firm, Streetcars, to provide for her two tearaway teenage children, Jason and Todd. She soon became friends with her boss Steve and came into conflict with Helen Worth's character Gail Rodwell (also known as Gail Platt). Cleaver took part in I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2022, where she opened up about reconciling with her birth mother, and was eliminated third. She also said her family is 'bizarrely interconnected' to other Coronation Street stars, including Worth who is godmother to one of her half-sisters, while her other half-sister's husband, John Bowe, appeared on the cobbles as Duggie Ferguson. In 2024, she released a book A Work In Progress in which she discusses how she feels she is not past her prime. In recent years she has appeared as a panellist on ITV chat show Loose Women.

Coronation Street spoiler videos for next week as unexpected pregnancy confirmed
Coronation Street continues to deliver the drama next week, as confirmed in our new spoiler videos, with unexpected bombshells dropped, secrets investigated and a horror showdown on the cards. Weatherfield is nothing if not dramatic! Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) is suspicious of mum Lisa (Vicky Myers) and thus asks her outright why she's being so secretive about what's in the files she was looking at previously. Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon), meanwhile, witnesses something and puts two and two together, believing that she's caught Lou Michaelis (Farrel Hegarty) up to no good. But is she on the right track? Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce), however, receives the biggest of all shocks when Theo's (James Cartwright) daughter Millie makes an unexpected revelation.

Betsy agrees to leave things be, but it appears from her expression – not to mention the fact she sneaks out of the bistro! – that she has other ideas in mind.
