Corrie’s Jason Grimshaw beds married resident just 24 hours after Ryan Thomas returns in twisted revenge scheme
CORONATION Street hunk Jason Grimshaw wasted no time making waves – hopping into bed with a married resident just a day after his dramatic return to Weatherfield.
The shock fling was all part of a revenge plot which Jason (Ryan Thomas) got caught up in.
Despite being away from the cobbles for nine years, Jason flirting game was still intact as he continued to woo the residents in Weatherfield.
Monday’s episode of Coronation Street saw Jason flirt with Danielle (Natalie Ann Jamieson) in the Rovers Return pub – not knowing she was the wife of Todd’s new boyfriend Theo Silverton (James Cartwright).
When Danielle learned Jason was Todd’s (Gareth Pierce) brother, she wasted no time in getting payback on Todd for stealing her husband and breaking up her family.
The pair headed back to Eileen’s (Sue Cleaver) house for a steamy afternoon romp.
But when they headed downstairs half dressed… Todd, Theo, Eileen and George (Tony Maudsley) were left gobsmacked.
Danielle turned to Theo and said: “Surprise!”
A confused Jason asked: “Do you know each other?”
And a outraged Todd replied: “She’s his wife!”
Eileen held her head in her hands as the brothers squared up to each other and squabbled over who the biggest embarrassment in the family was.
But they later apologised, admitted they’re both failures and Todd urged his brother to go back to Thailand before he got swept into anymore dramas.
Meanwhile, Danielle took Theo’s wedding ring and dropped it in the drain to prove their marriage was over for good.
Later, Jason opened up to his mum about his bar going up for sale in Thailand.
He said he needed £40k or he will be unemployed and homeless.
Eileen suggested using Julie’s (Katy Cavanagh) life insurance money, while Jason urged her to come with him to Thailand and be his business partner.
Corrie cash crisis: shock exits for 2025
ITV bosses are locked in a battle to save the cash-strapped soap.
This means that a number of stars have either been axed from or have abandoned the long-running serial drama.
Colson Smith – Craig Tinker
The character of Craig Tinker has been axed by bosses after 14 years. After he was told of the news in Autumn 2024, Colson Smith confirmed that would be written out of the show with scenes to air later this year. Craig’s on-screen mum, Beth Tinker, also left the show in the summer when actress Lisa George was written out from the role.
Sue Cleaver – Eileen Grimshaw
After 25 years playing Eileen Grimshaw, former I’m A Celebrity campmate Sue Cleaver will quit the show. The Sun on Sunday reported in January that she’s already begun to film her exit scenes. However the character will not be killed off in case Sue opts to make a return in the future.
Luca Toolan – Mason Radcliffe
Bosses decided to axe the teenage character after just 16 months after he first joined the show. Recent scenes saw Mason stabbed by his criminal brothers after his pal Dylan brought a knife in an attempt to defend him.
Sue Devaney – Debbie Webster
In November 2024, we revealed that Debbie Webster is set to be killed off after 40 years on the cobbles. The character will die as part of a heartbreaking long-running dementia storyline.
Charlotte Jordan – Daisy Midgeley
The actress became the fifth star to leave Coronation Street in just one month. We revealed that she will bow out of the ITV soap later this year after four years on-screen. Charlotte told sources that she’s hungry to see what other opportunities await.
Shelley King – Yasmeen Metcalfe
The actress has played Yasmeen Metcalfe on the cobbles for the past 11 years and we revealed in January that she finished filming her final scenes. This follows the departure of her on-screen partner Stu Carpenter.
Eileen insisted that she had a life in Weatherfield, but Jason pointed out that she isn’t entirely happy and should think about his offer.
The Sun revealed that Sue will be departing from the ITV soap after 25 years – as she plans to pursue new acting projects.
She said: “I’ve had 25 privileged years of working on Coronation Street.
“The door is still firmly open but as I reached my 60th year, I decided it was time to embrace change, look for new adventures and live fearlessly.”
Meanwhile, actor Ryan Thomas said he wanted to pay the soap that made him famous back.
He said: “It was a mix of nostalgia and gratitude for what the show has done for me. When they told me Eileen was leaving, it felt right to be a part of that storyline for her and revisit where it all started.”
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 or stream from 7am on ITVX.
