ITV Coronation Street fans fear they watched Evelyn's 'last scene' as actress reunites with former co-star

Coronation Street fans have wondered if they have seen Evelyn Plummer's last appearance in Weatherfield after she was seen with her case and dog heading for the tram stop. The popular character, played by Dame Maureen Lipman in the ITV soap, appeared to have enough earlier this week after a stint volunteering at a charity shop.

Evelyn was only helping out after Roy Cropper forced her into it when she mistakingly took shop worker Joy's coat from her believing it to be Roy's late wife Hayley's red anorak which had accidently been sent off to the charity shop among other items of her clothing and Roy's belongings.

Having gone back to the shop, Evelyn spotted Joy in a red coat and managed to get it off her before taking it back to Roy who confirmed it wasn't Hayley's. Joy later came to Roys Rolls were both Roy and Evelyn apologised for what happened. And when Joy mentioned they needed another volunteer at the shop, Roy put Evelyn forward.
