After 25 years on the cobbles, tonight’s episode (Friday, June 6) saw Eileen Grimshaw leave Coronation Street for a fresh start in Thailand.
She bid the Street goodbye and joined Jason in a taxi as she headed to the airport for her new venture.
But, as Sue Cleaver departs from the ITV soap, what is she up to next?

Eileen’s exit in Coronation Street
This evening, Eileen decided to take Jason up on his offer and help him run his bar in Thailand.
With Eileen now being a free woman without the risk of prison hanging over her for Julie’s death, she was ready to go on holiday to Thailand without the stress.
But, George didn’t think that was a good idea anymore. He thought Eileen was kidding herself into thinking their relationship was working, prompting her to make the decision to leave Weatherfield without him and move to Thailand permanently.
She told George she loved him like a friend instead of romantically, with George thanking her for her honesty and telling her he was staying put.
Eileen then packed her bags and said her goodbyes to everyone, making Todd Grimshaw promise that he’d come and visit them.
She and Jason then got into a taxi and headed off to the airport.
