Coronation Street star teases huge wedding for beloved couple – but with disastrous twist
CORONATION Street star has teased their idea of a dream wedding for their beloved character and partner.
George Shuttleworth actor Tony Maudsley has confessed he would love to see his character marry Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver).
Speaking to TV Times magazine, the actor revealed: “I’d love George and Eileen to marry. Sue [Cleaver] and I have lots of ideas about their wedding – it would have to be a big thing.
“I want Eileen to arrive in a horse-drawn hearse, and for George to have messed up the arrangements so they end up tying the knot in a crematorium chapel.
“And Mary and George’s sister Glenda as bridesmaids of course.”
Meanwhile, Todd Grimshaw actor Gareth Pierce has teased whether we might finally found out who his character’s dad is.
Since joining the ITV soap back in 2001, viewers no very little about Todd’s biological dad – except that his name is Duncan.
His true identity and whereabouts are yet to be confirmed.
Gareth has addressed whether we could see his boss George become Todd’s stepfather officially, if he married his mum Eileen.
Gareth said he can see George as more of a father figure for his character.
He revealed: “The lack of a father figure roots some of Todd’s behaviour, and cements his relationship with George in an unspoken way.
“It would be interesting to explore the dynamic if he actually became Todd’s stepdad, and we’ve still never met Todd’s real father.”
However, Todd and George have currently come to blows in recent episodes as they row over work.
Todd is forced to come to a decision about his future at the funeral directors, and it could lead to a huge falling out.
Todd ends up being replaced at the parlour, but can the pair work things out?
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
