However, George said he would make it up to her and take Eileen out for a meal at the Bistro.

But while George was buying flowers from Mary Taylor for their date, he overheard Eileen telling Mary that she didn't want to go out with some who worked with dead bodies for a living.

Hurt by her comments, George text Eileen telling her the date was off.

Instead, he arranged to meet his business associate in the Rovers Return, where coincidentally Eileen was consoling herself with a glass of wine.

Fans loved George's new love interest, with many hoping they could get together.

Michelle tweeted: "Loving the mystery woman with George."

Ryan wrote: "Who's George's mystery woman? I love her."

Doreen joked: "Eileen is upset cos George is sharing his Jammie Dodgers with another woman."

Another said: "Who's that woman that George is with? She seems very chirpy to be someone who is planning a funeral."

And a fifth wrote: "A new friend George??"
