Coronation Street's Stu Carpenter (Bill Fellow) is left heartbroken next week as his granddaughter Eliza Woodrow (Savannah Kunyo) makes a life-changing decision.
With her dad Dom Everett (Darren Morfitt) having failed to show up, Stu suggests Eliza get in the car so they can visit her mum Bridget Woodrow (Beth Vyse).
With Eliza uninterested, Stu loses his temper and points out that if her dad cared about her at all, he wouldn’t continually let her down.
