Coronation Street stars Tony Maudsley and Jodie Prenger have signed new contracts to continue playing George and Glenda Shuttleworth on the ITV soap<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both stars will remain on the cobbles for at least another year.<\/p>\n

Maudsley, who joined the soap in 2020 as the local undertaker, confirmed that his time on the show had been extended in a post on social media. <\/p>\n

Alongside a picture of him raising a glass of fizz, he wrote in a caption on Sunday (1 March): “New contract? Cheers Corrie, don\u2019t mind if I do. (I bit their hand off!) Can\u2019t wait to see what\u2019s around the corner for George (aside from more corpses).”<\/p>\n

And the character will have the company of his on-screen sister, with actress Prenger \u2013 who has played the flamboyant and sassy barmaid since 2022 \u2013 telling The Daily Star<\/a>: “I’ve just signed a new contract, so I’m going to be on Corrie for another year. I always get nervous about whether or not they’ll want me to stay, so I was thrilled when I got the offer.”<\/p>\n

She continued: “I knew straightaway I was going to sign. I love being on the show so I’m thrilled to be staying for another year.”<\/p>\n
