Sue’s cobbles counterpart Eileen returned to the street last night, but it wasn’t smooth sailing.
After mere minutes in Weatherfield, she came face to face with ex-partner Jesse Chadwick (John Thomson), and it was safe to safe that she was furious.
It was later revealed that Jesse had returned to see Gail Platt (Helen Worth), and that the pair had shared a brief fling in Thailand in 2021.
The news left Eileen horrified, and she was quick to spread it all over the street.
At the end of the episode, she gave a stark warning that Gail may be set for another disaster – is she right?
