Coronation Street fans were bowled over last week when Glenda Shuttleworth made her debut. Last Friday, viewers of the ITV soap were introduced to the sister of undertaker George Shuttleworth. She instantly made an impact on the cobbles, helping to save George's skin at work when he took too many strong painkillers.
Clocking George asleep in the back of the funeral car, she quickly took charge of the proceedings. Later as Glenda, Todd and Sean Tully celebrated how well the funeral went following the wake in the Rovers Return, George sheepishly appeared. He was thrilled to be reunited with his sister, who explained to her new pals that she works a performer on cruise ships. And it wasn't only George who was pleased to see her.
And Glenda soon hit it off with Sean after spotting he had an eye for one of the mourners at Mr Pugh's funeral, dentist Laurence. During Monday night's trip to Weatherfield (August 8), Rovers barman and Underworld machinist Sean appeared glum. As he moped around number 11, Eileen Grimshaw told Glenda it was because of his missed opportunity with Laurence.
