If the previous article stopped at the moment when the legendary Corrie was replaced at the funeral, this time the drama continues to explode when the identity of the “replacement” is finally made public.

And the person who stunned the whole Weatherfield is…

Jonathon Myles, a young undertaker who moved to the neighborhood a few weeks ago.

It seemed like he was just a temporary employee, but it turned out that Jonathon was given the right to stand in the exact position that the legend used to hold – and this affected the two people who were most affected by this, Billy and Todd.

From the morning before the funeral, Todd had a bad feeling. He heard George arguing loudly in the office, with sentences like “There is no other choice”, “We have to do it”, “People will not understand”. Todd is an emotional person, so when he realized that someone was about to replace the legend he once admired, he lost sleep and appetite. But when he learns that the person is Jonathon — a near stranger — Todd is instantly enraged and determined to find out the real reason.

Jonathon enters the funeral with a confident but cool expression. But this attitude makes Billy angry. Billy — who always stands on the side of tradition and sentiment — thinks that bringing in a new person on the day of the funeral is an act of disrespect. The two exchange words, and despite trying to keep calm, Billy still has to exclaim:

“You don’t understand where you stand. This isn’t a job — this is the history of this neighborhood.”

Jonathon simply replies:
“I understand better than you think. And I’m here because I was chosen — not by choice.”
