A huge Coronation Street star has hinted at a wedding on the cobbles for their on-screen character and their partner.Tony Maudsley, who plays resident funeral director George Shuttleworth on the ITV soap, has revealed that he would love to see his character marry Eileen Grimshaw.

George arrived on the famous street in 2020 and he has been seeing Eileen since 2021.Things haven't always been easy for the couple, but they seem to be one of the strongest on the show.

Now Tony has spoken to TV Times magazine about George and Eileen's future, and he wants it to be positive. The 55 year old said: "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." Tony didn't miss out on the wedding party as he said: "And Mary and George's sister Glenda as bridesmaids of course." George runs Shuttleworth's Independent Funeral Services, which is located on Victoria Street, and as part of that, George decided to take Eileen's troubled son Todd Grimshaw under his wing.Todd and George have unexpectedly become one of the programme's best duos as they bonded both in and out of work.

With Todd not having a father figure to look up to, George has taken on that role. Keeping that in mind, Todd's actor 42 year old Gareth Pierce, has revealed his thoughts on a potential marriage for his mum.
