Former pub landlady shocked by plans for iconic Coronation Street pub
Former pub landlady Jenny Connor has been left heartbroken after discovering that Ronnie Bailey has made plans to replace the iconic Rovers Return pub with flats. Jenny had been desperate to get the pub back on track but was devastated when she learned of Ronnie's betrayal. The future of the pub hangs in the balance as the staff contemplate their next move.
Rovers Return closure a cause for concern
Earlier this year, business at the Rovers Return became a cause for concern for Jenny Connor. Despite her efforts, the pub was eventually shut down by a company called Waterford's. Jenny and her employees were then thrown out of the pub, leaving them devastated.
Changes ahead for the pub
Viewers have been fearing that the Rovers Return may never reopen its doors again. However, soap boss Iain MacLeod has assured fans that changes are definitely on the horizon for the iconic pub. In scenes coming up on ITV next week, Ronnie Bailey reveals that he has received a call from a property developer friend, who wants to convert the pub into flats.
Will Jenny be able to save the Rovers?
As the Rovers faces an uncertain future, Jenny and her former employees, including Glenda Shuttleworth and Sean Tully, are determined to save and reopen the pub. However, they face many obstacles along the way, including Ronnie's betrayal. Soap boss Iain MacLeod has hinted at a twist, revealing that the reopening of the pub will be based on a "slightly shaky foundation of a criminal act".
Reopening on the horizon
Despite the challenges, Iain MacLeod has confirmed that the Rovers Return will not stay closed forever. In fact, he revealed that the pub will reopen on New Year's Eve. However, the circumstances surrounding its reopening will be tied to Stephen's legacy and involve a questionable act to gain access to the keys.
Jenny's return to the Rovers
A recent snap shared online by actress Claire Sweeney, who plays Cassie Plummer, and her Dancing on Ice partner Colin Grafton has hinted at Jenny's return to the Rovers. The photo showed Jenny Connor's name at the top of the pub door, indicating that she will reclaim her role as the Rovers landlady. Fans are eagerly awaiting the moment when Jenny gets her pub back.
Coronation Street airs every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8pm on ITV.
