Last week, Eileen, who first appeared in 2000, bid farewell to the cobbles.
Eileen was a fixture at the taxi office from the very beginning, working as a switch operator and often seen assisting customers.

But with her departure now aired, fans believe it's only a matter of time before someone steps into Eileen's role at work - and they're confident they know who it will be.
"Now Eileen has left the cab office I wonder who will take her place," one person speculated on a Corrie Facebook fan page.
Viewers quickly suggested that soap legend Liz McDonald (Beverley Callard) could make a comeback and help run the business alongside her son Steve.
Fans are clamouring for the return of soap legend Liz McDonald to Coronation Street, with one stating: "Liz McDonald! Get her back to run it with Steve."
Another supporter concurred, saying: "That would be so good."
A different individual suggested: "Maybe the business starts to fail and she comes back to help Steve?" Reinforcing this idea, a fellow fan expressed: "I'd love that!".
In February of this year, Beverley admitted to taking medication to cope with some mental health struggles.

She spoke about how we needed more access to talking therapies. Beverley made her first appearance on the cobbles in 1989, revealing she was hit with mental health struggles two decades later while she was still working on the show.
"I was first hit with it in 2010 and I was hospitalised for three months.. I was terrified of people hearing about it," she expressed, explaining how people wanted to know why she was missing.
"There was a feeling of guilt, of shame, of people thinking I was maybe weak. Clinical depression is not that, it's the curse of the strong. It affects people pleasers and people who don't stop, so it is important to talk," she said.

The online group of content creators and influencers shared their most recent video in their regular Sunday slot and it included an immediate favourite amongst viewers. This week, the video dropped was a new edition of 20 vs 2, which included mostly women coming face to face with a couple of Sidemen. In a voiceover introducing the video, which ran for more than an hour and 20 minutes in total, KSI says: "Welcome to 20 vs 2. We have two Americans, Marlon and Lacy. They will both have to agree which of the 20 girls they would like to say yes and no to." If the duo both said yes to a girl, they would take part in the next section of the video. This would be in the form of an impromptu date. However, the girl chooses who of the two they would rather go on a date with. While this happens, six others watch on including Josh, Harry, Vik, KSI, Tobi, Ethan and Simon. Each of them have the opportunity to tell Marlon and Lacy what to do like mini challenges. Whether it be how they act or what they say. One person that was involved in both segments on the video and was popular with the Sidemen and viewers alike during her appearance was 35-year-old Anita. It turns out she is a major online personality in her own right, known as Sweet Anita. She has around 1.5 million subscribers on YouTube and claims to have more than 4 million followers across all her social channels. This includes Twitch, X, Instagram and Facebook. Anita herself commented on the video, thanking for the invitation to be involved in the Sidemen's video. In her post she said: "Lacy was such a good boy! Thanks for having me." It didn't go unnoticed by fans who were quick to reply themselves. It received the most interactions of any comment with more than 200 replies and 27,000 thousand likes. Many responded to tell Anita that they were their favourite guest. One person said: "You're iconic." A second simply stated: "Best 20v1 guest ever." Another added: "I love your vibe and energy, you're so unique." while a different account replied: "Anita , you made the vid, hilarious." Anita also has Tourette's. She has regularly shared clips and videos talking about her experiences of her condition and how it impacts her life on YouTube and on her social pages.

Grieving family of Hollyoaks star's mum killed ‘in horror murder-suicide' in France ban joint funeral from taking place
Police initially probed whether it was a gangland hit linked to his former job but are now treating the tragedy as a murder-suicide MURDERED MUM Grieving family of Hollyoaks star's mum killed 'in horror murder-suicide' in France ban joint funeral from taking place GRIEVING family of a Hollyoaks star's mum has banned a joint funeral with their stepfather as cops believe he murdered her before taking his own life.

Police initially probed whether it was a gangland hit linked to his former job, but are now treating the tragedy as a murder-suicide. Dawn's heartbroken son Callum Kerr, an actor and singer, and his grieving sister Amanda want their mum left out of her husband's funeral. Advertisement They have 'firmly' requested Andrew's family not to include her in their service and urged Dawn's friends not to go or post pictures of the couple together. Callum and Amanda wrote in a family statement posted on their social media today: 'It would be inappropriate for her memory to be associated with a service honouring the man who, based on all available evidence, may have been responsible for her death.' The siblings claim murder-suicide is the 'prevailing hypothesis', adding: 'There is also no evidence whatsoever of any third party's involvement at this stage'. They will be climbing Sicily's Mount Etna to mark what would have been their mum's 58th birthday on May 18 next year. Advertisement A GoFundMe page in their mum's previous name Dawn Kerr has raised more than £3,400 for domestic violence charity Women's Aid. It reads: 'In February, our mum was taken from us. There's no way to put into words how that feels. 'But we're hoping this challenge brings some good into the world in her name.

Callum also starred in Netflix's Virgin River - playing young Everett, Mel's father, in the most recent series. The 30-year-old has over 135,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and released his new track Cold Beer Cold just hours after his mum's death. Dawn was found lying in front of her house, partly undressed, while Andrew was found hanged from a radiator. It remains unclear when exactly the pair died.
