Following the departure of former girlfriend Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver), Coronation Street’s George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) has been left pining for his lost love.
Sister Glenda (Jodie Prenger), however, suggests her brother throw himself back into the dating pool, advising him to give a dating app a try.
Their conversation was interrupted, though, as Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews), who clearly has designs on the beloved undertaker, seeks his help with a burst pipe in the Kabin, rewarding him with dinner.
She’s later dismayed, however, when Glenda reveals that she’s set her brother up with a dating app account.
After treating himself to some trendy new threads, George visits Glenda at No.11.
While there, Glenda questions the new attire, leading George to sheepishly admit to her that he’s scored a date using the app!
He’s arranged a date with a lady called Samantha, that night in the Rovers.
As the mystery lady arrives for the date, Glenda is taken aback to recognise Samantha as her old primary school friend.
As the two excitedly pull each other in for a hug and delve into catching up, poor George is left out in the cold.
Is this the beginning and the end of his foray into the world of online dating?
