George's proposal is interrupted by Jason's surprise arrival in Corrie

But will Eileen give George the answer he wants?

 24-30 MAY

Eileen tells George and Brian that the drugs found in Julie’s system were the painkillers prescribed for her, not Julie.

When Brian makes an innocuous remark, Eileen snaps and bans him from attending the funeral. And George feels out of his depth as he tries to comfort Eileen. Confiding in Todd, George tells him that no matter how hard he tries, everything he does seems to annoy Eileen these days.

As the mourners gather, Eileen hands Brian a letter from Julie. Having read Julie’s letter, Brian confronts her over Julie’s life insurance policy, pointing out that she’s the only beneficiary yet failed to mention it. Eileen assures him that she knew nothing about it until after Julie’s death.

When Tracy implies that she orchestrated Julie’s death to get her hands on the money, Eileen’s incensed and rails at George, blaming him for the fact Julie’s funeral is ruined.

Meanwhile, a downcast Theo reveals that his wife never showed up for breakfast as arranged and when Theo spies something on Todd’s phone, he’s left troubled. When a guy called Noah enters the pub and waves to Billy, Theo hurries out. When Theo reveals to Todd that Noah was present at his conversion therapy, Todd’s appalled.

In the pub, they play Julie’s dream game and Eileen is stunned when George tells her that his dream is to marry her. Thankfully, she’s saved from answering by the sudden arrival of Jason. As George hovers awkwardly, awaiting her reaction, will he get the answer he wants?
