Online dating 'features in Coronation Street'

Online dating can be a great way for singletons to meet like-minded people and potentially find a partner.

It appeals to all sorts of ages, tastes and personalities, which may be why the bosses of ITV soap Coronation Street decided to tackle the subject matter.

According to Corrie Blog, which reveals snippets of information from the show, discussion about the platform will appear on tonight's (August 22nd) episode.

Eileen Grimshaw is said to check out an online dating site because she is lonely and looking for love.

The factory worker is known for having a number of failed relationships in the past and this could explain why she is keen to try a new method.

Known for her feisty behaviour and caring nature towards her loved ones, Grimshaw may well appeal to males who are looking for a strong-willed woman.

The news source does not reveal whether or not her online dating attempts are successful, although future episodes may make this clear.
