Corrie's Jodie Prenger hopes Glenda will settle down and find love again – with Pedro Pascal
The Coronation Street star was speaking at the RadioTimes.com Soap Awards 2024.
It's been a tough time for Jodie Prenger's Coronation Street character Glenda Shuttleworth, after Ryan Russell's Michael Bailey ended their relationship.
Glenda has long been unlucky in love on the show, but, speaking exclusively at the RadioTimes.com Soap Awards 2024 sponsored by Inspired Villages, Prenger has revealed her hopes that the barmaid will eventually find love - with a certain Mandalorian star.
"I mean, I'm not being funny, but I got dumped, so you're bringing up a very raw situation for me," Prenger joked about the topic of Glenda and Michael.
"I hope she finds love again. I mean, if Pedro Pascal wants to come on the show, I'll be happy to do it..."
