2020-[]
We first hear Mary Taylor complaining about George Shuttleworth, after he was rude to her in Prestons Petals, Mary did the flowers for a funeral George was conducting after his usual florist let him down, although Mary was annoyed as he didn’t seem grateful.
George Shuttleworth made his first appearance on the 16th September 2020, in the second part of the episode. We first see him in the Rovers Return apologising to Mary, and talking about his late dad Archie Shuttleworth. In January 2021, Gail Rodwell put some of her family history on a website, and found that her and George Shuttleworth share 2 great, great grandparents.
George started dating Eileen Grimshaw. In April 2022, it appeared he had a secret but all it was, he snores very loud and likes to sleep alone, hence why he is reluctant to sleep at Eileen's for a night.
