Coronation Street fans make sad prediction about 'missing' character

Coronation Street fans believe they'd worked out a much-loved character is not returning to Weatherfield after comments made during Wednesday's episode.

The week's second instalment of the long-running ITV soap saw a desperate Fiz and Tyrone trying to stop the publication of a book about Fiz's murderous ex, John Stape.

They met with Adam Barlow to discuss their legal options, and were given a glimmer of hope when Adam suggested they could get an injunction to stop the book being published.

However their hopes were quickly dashed when they learned the court fees, plus the barristers fees and potential costs for the other side's legal team could amass some £200,000. Tyrone and Fiz were on different pages when it came to taking action.

Tyrone was adamant they needed to at least try to have the publication banned, for Fiz's daughter Hope's sake. He thought they should go ahead with the court case and risk losing the money.

Arguing the case with Fiz, he suggested they could sell their home on Coronation Street and move into the flat above the salon if they were in desperate need of the cash. His comments made some viewers think his grandmother Evelyn, played by Maureen Lipman, will not be returning to the cobbles.

Evelyn has not been seen in Weatherfield since September, with it being reported Dame Maureen Lipman had taken a break from the soap to perform a one-woman play. But after Tyrone suggested selling their collective home without a mention, fans are now worried they have seen the last of her.

Taking to Twitter, Lydia said: "No mention of Evelyn while they're talking about selling number 9. Is that her gone for good now? [cry emoji]" Steph said: "Evelyn is never coming back is she?", while Ryan said: "Lulu said: "Best not make Evelyn homeless, wherever she is".
