Coronation Street star Tony Maudsley has left fans sharing a plea as he teased an on-screen 'sibling war'. The actor took to social media with a gorgeous snap of himself and Jodie Prenger taken on the ITV soap's undertakers set.

Tony, who is known for playing George Shuttleworth, could be seen suited and booted in his black attire for a day at work while Jodie, who later joined the cast as George's sister Glenda, looked like her character's vibrant self in a silky patterned dress under a bright blue coat.

Captioning the post, Tony wrote to his 35,000 followers: "SIBLINGS AT WAR: There's trouble afoot for Glenda & George! #Corrie #TheShuttleworths."

And while many were keen to share their hope that George and Glenda's feud won't last, others were gushing over the pair. @osullivan_sue said: "Ahh I hope they sort it out, love these two."

In upcoming Corrie scenes, Glenda tells a guilty George how she desperately wants to raise the money to buy the Little Big Shotz business off Estelle, he offers to help her apply for a bank loan. But as he looks over her accounts he realises there’s no way she’ll ever get a loan.

With what she's got, Glenda puts a proposition to Estelle, that she buys Little Big Shotz on credit and pays her back in instalments. Concerned, George scuppers the deal by saying she’d have no means to pay the monthly instalments. Glenda then moans to Todd Grimshaw about George’s act of betrayal and Todd assumes she’s referring to their dad Archie’s will, which he discovered staed that Glenda is to have half the funeral business.

But when Glenda demands to know what will, Todd realises his mistake. Later. as she seeks advice, Adam warns Glenda that suing George for half the business would be costly, there’s no guarantee she’d win and she’d be best to forget it.

Glenda’s crushed and afterwards walks slap bang into Michael Bailey, spilling her drink down her front. When Rupert from Rest Easy calls at the undertakers and registers his interest in buying the business, George and Todd are furious to discover Glenda has put it up for sale.
