Coronation Street fans predict terrifying dark plotline coming for George amid health woes

Coronation Street viewers shared their concerns after George Shuttleworth struggled with lack of sleep on Wednesday's instalment of the ITV soap.

The character, played by Tony Maudsley, appeared exhausted during the latest episode and couldn't keep his eyes open when he was sitting in the hearse.

He was enjoying a night of fun with Eileen and even warned her that he has a problem with snoring while he sleeps.

She was fine with it and said: "I've been married to a serial killer, I can live with a bit of snoring."

"No, you can't. I think it's best we just leave it there," he added, but Eileen insisted: "Your staying over. The neighbours can think what they want. I'll find a way to help, I promise."

Viewers immediately had their predictions about George's future and took to Twitter to share their thoughts.

While some fans think he may potentially kill someone while behind the wheel, others believe he might suffer a heart attack due to the energy drinks.

One social media user wrote: "George will soon fall asleep at the wheel and kill someone."

Another viewer added: "The only thing George isn't getting is sleep !!! Don't drive when sleepy!!!"

"Ah is George ganna have a heart attack I wonder off all these energy drinks and coffee," one fan said.

One posted: "Cue minor storyline where George is rushed to hospital with severe heart palps cos he's had 18 red bulls."

"George is definitely heading for a heart attack with his size and putting away all those energy drinks," a viewer said.

During the episode, there was a moment when George attempted to sneak in a quick nap in the hearse.

However, Eileen's son Todd quickly caught on to what he was doing and told him to tell his mother about his problems sleeping.

Spoilers for next week confirm he makes a huge mistake at work and is called out by Todd, leaving to another confession.

George finally admits that he’s been staying up every night so as not to subject her to his snoring, after Eileen wrongly believes the snoring just hasn't been that bad.
