LIFE in the cobbles has been drama-packed for Brian Packham since he first welcomed his Italian cousin Isabella.
But the overbearing guest is pushed out of Coronation Street next week. How will it play out?
Brian Packham's patience with his Italian relative Isabella (portrayed by Flaminia Cinque) is wearing thin.
The Kabin owner played by Peter Gunn initially wanted to visit Isabella in Italy but his plans were foiled when she made her own way to the ITV cobbles.
And tensions have been brewing since her arrival, particularly as Mary Taylor (Patti Clare) was convinced she was driving a wedge between her and Brian.
As viewers of the Manchester-based soap may remember, Isabella even went as far as to sabotage George Shuttleworth's model boat in Brian's favour, which caused conflict between the two pals.

Isabella most recently pushed Rita Tanner to quit her job at The Kabin, although the issue was resolved mere moments later.
Brian has tried to keep the peace, finding it hard to chase Isabella out of Weatherfield after she confessed to him that her house in Italy was in shambles.
But in scenes airing next week, Brian and Isabella return from a trip and he admits to Mary that he's had enough of his intrusive cousin.
Mary urges him to be upfront with Isabella, preaching honesty to be the policy.
