Spoilers have appeared to confirm Jason Grimshaw’s new love interest on Coronation Street.

Actor Ryan Thomas returns to the show this week after nine years away, and it seems he wastes no time in getting to know a certain female character. Ryan had teased there would be romance for the character during his comeback stint, suggesting he would be rumbled after taking a mystery lady home with him.

New spoilers may have revealed who this is, or at least a new lover interest. Regardless of it’s the person Ryan was teasing, it seems Jason gets a new love interest ahead of his exit from the show.

Now it’s been revealed it’s none other than newcomer Danielle Silverton, the wife of Theo Silverton. Of course this is pretty awkward given Jason’s brother Todd Grimshaw was seeing Theo behind Danielle’s back, before they were rumbled.

Danielle caught her husband kissing Todd and Theo has since been keen to end his marriage, wanting to be with Todd. So when Danielle gets chatting to Jason next week, how will she react when she finds out he’s the sibling of Todd?

It seems things get flirty between the pair, and she’s enjoying his company. But will she tell him about Todd and Theo?

Jason won’t be sticking around though and his final scenes will air next week. Jason actor Ryan only reprised the role for the exit storyline of his onscreen mother Eileen Grimshaw, played by Sue Cleaver.

The actress will bow out of the soap next Friday (June 6) after more than two decades in the role, debuting in 2000. Eileen’s final scenes will see her make a life-changing decision, with Jason heavily involved.

Sue has spoken about her exit plot and her leaving the show after 25 years, with her grateful to Ryan for coming back after she asked him to be a part of her last episodes. She said: “I said very much that I would like her to go off to pastures new, you know, to kind of mirror what I’m doing in a sense.

“And I just think it’s time for a change. So it was perfect. I’m so happy with the ending, and I was so humbled by it and the way it had been written and what it is. I felt very grateful to have such a wonderful ending written. It seemed very, very apt.”

As soon as she knew she was leaving, she wanted co-star Ryan to be there for the episodes. She shared: “Ryan was there from the start, and he was inconveniently living in Thailand, and it wouldn’t be too far of a jump to expect that if Eileen was going to make a leap, that she would involve her son.

“And so when I decided to leave, like over a year ago, I rang Ryan, and I said, ‘Ryan, I’m going to tell them that I’m going, and if they ask me about exits, I’d really like to say that you’d come back and take me out, but I don’t know whether they’d go for it or not’.

“And he just went, ‘Oh my gosh, of course, I would’, which was so lovely for me. And it was just so nice to have him back and filming those final scenes with him. It just felt like I’d come full circle really.”
