Julie’s Shocking Revelation Leaves Todd and George Stunned
Recent Coronation Street episodes have revealed that Julie Carp is hiding a devastating secret. Returning to Weatherfield, she seemed her usual upbeat self, but subtle signs hinted that something was amiss.

Monday’s episode, which is already available on ITVX, confirmed the truth—Julie is facing a terminal illness. During a visit to the Grimshaw home, Todd and George noticed a stash of medication in her bag, prompting her to finally open up.
Julie disclosed that she has been diagnosed with stage four sarcoma, a type of cancer that has spread to her liver and lungs. She explained that while chemotherapy could slow its progression, there was no cure. With a somber tone, she admitted, “If I’m lucky, I’ll see this summer.”
