Tony Maudsley appears to be happy as he shared his reaction at his on-screen sister being cast in Coronation Street. It was revealed today that Jodie Prenger will be joining the ITV soap as George Shuttleworth's sister, Glenda.
The arrival of the 'fun and sassy' character, currently planned for August, comes as George continues to struggle with the arrival of a blast from his past in the shape of former school bully Frank Bardsley. Last month Frank, played by Simon O'Brien, made his first appearance in Weatherfield where he hit it off with Sean Tully.
The pair have since been enjoying dates but George was left to confess his true feelings about Frank to Eileen Grimshaw and despite his best efforts to see if Frank had changed his ways, the undertaker found himself unable to get over his past and decided to go back home, leaving Eileen in the home she shares with Sean, son Todd and friend Mary.
