Coronation Street fans are certain they have worked out who the “new Jack and Vera Duckworth” are on the ITV soap.
The legendary cobbles residents were two of the most much-loved characters to appear on Corrie. Vera (Liz Dawn) made her debut in 1974, while hubby Jack (Bill Tarmey) joined in 1976.
The beloved couple became firm-favourites with viewers, and the pair had their fair share of drama. From affairs to being owners of the Rovers Return, Jack and Vera played a part in several big storylines.

Sadly in 2007, fans of the soap were left heartbroken when Vera died from heart failure. While two years later, husband Jack followed and passed away in 2010. Off-screen, Jack actor Bill died in 2012, and in 2017, Vera actor Liz passed away aged 77.

But now, fans reckon the soap could be set for a “new Jack and Vera” in the form of two current residents on the ITV soap. Fans will recall, that soap alum Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) has been left heartbroken after wife Tracy (Kate Ford) left him.
Tracy had cheated on Steve with former footballer turned decorator Tommy Orpington (Matt Milburn) earlier this year. And when their affair was exposed, she quickly quit the cobbles and moved abroad to Spain with her new beau.
This week, Steve attempts to move on and agrees to go on a date with a woman he’s been chatting to an app. However, fans are convinced he’ll actually end up with a Weatherfield resident instead and will become the “new Jack and Vera.”
Online, viewers shared their theory that Steve will strike up a romance with Glenda Shuttleworth (Jodie Prenger). On X, formerly known as Twitter, one person said: “I’m shipping Glenda and Steve.”
Someone else added: “I’m rooting for Glenda and Steve to be the next Vera & Jack – true Corrie gold.” A third penned: “Steve and Glenda could be a young Jack and Vers.”
Another chimed in and mused: “I’m thinking the script writers should maybe put Steve and Glenda together. Would be a good comedy couple and provide a bit of light relief from all the doom and gloom and violence.”
A fifth wrote: “Steve and Glenda would make a great couple.” A sixth agreed and proclaimed: “Steve and Glenda would be a great match to be fair!!”
