Henry dated Gemma back in 2018
The couple will be reunited five years later
Posh boy Henry is rich and heir to his family’s fortune.
During his time in Weatherfield, Henry started dating Gemma Winter (Dolly-Rose Campbell).
However, she broke up with him after learning he made a bet with his friends on how long he can stay in a relationship with her.
Since leaving the ITV soap, George has appeared in various movies, such as Badnaam, Patrick Swayze: Ghost & Demons and the North Side.
But his most surprising role is featuring as a voice character in a video game.
He has lent his vocals to the gaming world on more than one occasions.
The most recent gig dates back to 2021 in the Dead Man’s Phone video game where George voiced a character named Matthew McPherson.
George’s first voiceover job dates back to 2003, when he lent his vocals to the Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup video game as the character Lee Jordan.
He returned to the Hogwarts franchise again in 2004, in the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban video game.
Meanwhile on Coronation Street, landlady Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) is desperately trying to find a new buyer in a bid to stop the pub from going out of business and closing for good.
She tried to impress brewery owner Philip Newton, hoping he might buy the pub from her.
However, Jenny was left devastated to learn they lost interest as the accounts didn’t show the pub has a profitable business.
He suggested selling up and turning the iconic pub into flats instead.
But, later this week, another buyer is interested in the pub… Henry.
Could Henry be the new owner of the Rovers Return?
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
