Coronation Street fans believe they know who Glenda Shuttleworth's next love interest will be, but she will have to wait months to meet them as they are not currently on the cobbles.
Actress Jodie Prenger plays the much-loved character, who made her debut on the ITV soap in 2022 as George Shuttleworth's sister. Glenda soon got a job in the Rovers Return, and last summer she was asked to step up as manager of the pub until owner Carla Connor could sell following landlady Jenny Connor's exit.
Glenda's Love Life Under the Spotlight
She has remained behind the bar following Eva Price's return and takeover of the boozer, alongside her partner, Ben Driscoll, and his mother, Maggie Driscoll. But one thing often spoken about is Glenda's love life.
Since her arrival in Weatherfield, Glenda hasn't been lucky in love, with her brief dalliance with Michael Bailey not materialising into anything more. Now, fans think the recently confirmed return of Owen Armstrong could change things for Glenda when it comes to matters of the heart.
Fans React to Owen's Return
@Laceyjay99 said: "So glad Owen’s back he’s a decent guy and maybe he could get a woman? Glenda or Mary lol or who else is there lol #corrie." @Raudedauden replied: "Ooo yes Glenda." @Fake_TV_Chef echoed: "Yes Glenda!" @joan94868 added: "I'm voting Glenda."
Owen was last seen in Weatherfield in April 2015 when he announced he was leaving, after his relationship with Anna Windass broke down and his business collapsed, thanks in part to Pat Phelan.
Owen's Return Storyline
He went to Portugal before settling in Scotland, but it's now been revealed that almost eleven years after leaving Weatherfield, Owen is returning to the cobbles in January 2027. He is less than impressed with the actions of Izzy's former partner, as he finds out Gary is behind bars, having been given an eight-month sentence for helping Sarah Platt cover up Theo Silverton's murder.
Determined to help Izzy and his grandson Jake, he makes it very clear he blames Gary for his family’s misfortune and announces he is moving back to live with them. Actor Ian Puleston-Davies is reprising his role and said of his return: "I can’t wait to pick up where I left off ten years ago! It’s brilliant to be back and to get stuck into a cracking storyline. Owen’s back and he’s still angry!"
