Coronation Street bosses recently considered killing off a major legend
A Coronation Street legend's time on the ITV soap came to an end recently, but her story could have had a very different outcome. Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) jetted off to Thailand with son Jason last month after losing sister Julie Carp, who had been battling terminal cancer. It was a devastating time for Eileen, who was under suspicion for helping Julie take her own life, despite the fact that she was innocent. Thankfully, the charges against her were dropped, but the situation caused tension between her and boyfriend George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley). After being invited to invest in Jason's bar across the globe, Eileen decided to end things with George and start a new life. However, things could have been very different, as the producers had originally considered killing Eileen off, as actress Sue Cleaver revealed. '[The producers] said, 'What kind of exit would you like? Dramatic? Do you want a final death?' And I said I didn't,' she told OK! Magazine. 'I said I really wanted Eileen's son, Jason, to come back, and for it to mirror what I'm doing in my own life. For Eileen to get out there, live fearlessly, live bravely.' Sue announced her exit at the beginning of the year, explaining that she wanted to try new things. 'The door is still firmly open, but as I reached my 60th year, I decided it was time to embrace change, look for new adventures, and live fearlessly,' Sue said. More Trending Since leaving the soap, Sue has already revealed her next project. The actress has joined the cast of Snake in the Grass at the Theatr Clwyd and Octagon Theatre Bolton, alongside Nicola Stephenson and Lisa Zahra.

What's REALLY ‘cool'? Key 6 traits revealed by study – and the definition is universal
WHETHER it's James Bond, Maverick, Billie Eilish or Dolly Parton - we all have a celebrity we admire and some are more popular than others. Usually if we admire or like someone, we also think of them as 'cool'. And there's no doubt it's one of the best personality compliments you can get. 1 Even if it's hard to put your finger on why someone is 'cool', science has attempted to do so. Researchers asked thousands of people across the globe what it means to be cool. And it turns out, the feeling is universal - most people agree, regardless of their culture. Asking 6,000 people from countries around the world, scientists found people in at least a dozen countries agreed on the definition. The participants were asked to think of someone who they thought was cool, not cool, good or not good. They then rated the person's personality and values. The researchers used the data to explore how cool people differ from uncool people and good people. Cool people were perceived to be more: Extraverted Hedonistic Powerful Adventurous Open Autonomous. There were some crossovers with what was deemed a 'good' person. Co-lead researcher Dr Caleb Warren, an associate professor of marketing at the University of Arizona, said: 'To be seen as cool, someone usually needs to be somewhat likable or admirable, which makes them similar to good people. 'However, cool people often have other traits that aren't necessarily considered 'good' in a moral sense, like being hedonistic and powerful.' Good people were perceived as more conforming, traditional, secure, warm, agreeable, universalistic, conscientious and calm. Marvel's Captain America, for example, or even Harry Potter, may be seen as 'good' over 'cool'. Co-lead researcher Dr Todd Pezzuti, an associate professor of marketing at the Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez in Chile, said: 'Everyone wants to be cool, or at least avoid the stigma of being uncool, and society needs cool people because they challenge norms, inspire change, and advance culture. 'The concept of coolness started in small, rebellious sub-cultures, including Black jazz musicians in the 1940s and the beatniks in the 1950s. "As society moves faster and puts more value on creativity and change, cool people are more essential than ever.' Only participants who were familiar with the slang meaning of the word 'cool' were included in the study, published by the American Psychological Association. What are the big 5 personality traits? The Big Five personality traits, also known as the Five-Factor Model (FFM), are widely recognised dimensions of human personality that help scientists to group people together in studies. They are used in psychology, career assessments, relationship counselling, and even marketing. It has previously pinpointed that neuroticism, for example, is more linked to an Alzheimer's diagnosis. The five types are: Conscientiousness: This describes someone who is responsible, careful, and goal- and detail-oriented. They have high impulse control and tend to be organised Agreeableness: This describes a person who is respectful, compassionate, trusting and tries to avoid problems. They tend to be more cooperative and are helpful Neuroticism: This describes someone who gravitates toward unsettling emotions, such as anxiety and depression. They get upset easily Openness: This describes a person who is open to new experiences and curious about the world. They are creative and happy to talk about abstract ideas Extraversion or Extroversion: This describes someone who seeks excitement and is active and highly sociable. They are talkative, have a lot of emotional expressiveness and are energised around others

King Charles gives rare grandchildren insight with cheeky comment to ITV star
King Charles spoke to Declan Donnelly at Buckingham Palace on the eve of his King's Trust awards ceremony - and the TV presenter said the King had a "twinkle in his eye" King Charles recently provided an insight into his family experience with well-known television presenter Declan Donnelly. The monarch spoked with the ITV star at Buckingham Palace ahead of presenting the King's Trust awards ceremony alongisde long-term pal Ant McPartlin. Dec told HELLO! that the King asked after his children and demonstrated his parental insight. He recounted: "My son is coming up to three; he's a crazy one. The King said: 'Is he one of these who jumps and dives bombs in the pool and sinks at the bottom?' Yeah, that's him. He's obviously got experience with that with some of the grandkids I would have thought." As goodwill ambassadors for the King's Trust, Ant and Dec have worked with the King before. Declan added: "He's great. He's got a twinkle in his eye, he's got a fantastic sense of humour and he's genuinely interested in people. "He started the trust in 1976, so to see the fruits of that, almost 50 years on, must be incredibly rewarding for him. And it's done what he set out to do all those years ago." With five grandchildren – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet – King Charles has ample experience in grandparenting. His affectionate relationship with Prince William's youngest child, Louis, was on full display during this year's Trooping the Colour, reports OK!. However, the same cannot be said for Archie and Lilibet. The monarch has had limited interactions with the duo since their parents, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, relocated to the United States. It has been reported that Harry and Meghan could play a part in the King's future funeral, with the Telegraph suggesting that plans may incorporate the Sussexes and their offspring into the proceedings. The proposed plan includes Harry walking alongside Prince William, who is set to become King, during parts of the ceremony. Royal commentator Victoria Ward has suggested that the funeral could serve as a moment to mend family ties following Harry's move to the USA in early-2020. She wrote: "Whenever the time comes, the monarch is adamant that his youngest son take his rightful place at the centre of his family, perhaps mindful of that final chance to create family harmony. There is no suggestion that the King's reign will not continue for many more years." While it might appear odd to deliberate over the King's funeral before its occurrence, it is common practice for royal funerals to be meticulously planned well in advance, even when the reigning monarch is in excellent health. Earlier this year, during a Buckingham Palace garden party, the King engaged in conversation with 22-year-old Stamford Collis, a fellow cancer patient. Following their conversation, Stamford revealed that he and the King had spoken about his battles with cancer. He said: "He (the King) was asking me about the treatment I have starting in June and spoke to me about food and diet. He also asked me if I had undergone radiation treatment, which I had earlier this year." In a later part of their interaction, the King imparted some wisdom to Stamford, advising: "It's sometimes about the diet and what you eat. It can help."
