Bet later changed the prize to a week in Majorca for her and her friends in the Street . Eddie was then soon on the scene when Lynn Johnson ' s body was found in 9 Coronation Street in January 1975 . As Ray Langton and Jerry Booth , who had actually found the body , had been taken straight to the police station for questioning no one was able to tell the puzzled residents why there were police both outside and in No . 9 and why a stretchered corpse had been taken away . Royle , asking questions of everyone inside the Rovers , was able to supply some of the answers . Several months later he reappeared in the area when Hilda Ogden gave a press story about how , like the other residents , she was withholding her rates as a protest . Spurred on by an appreciative crowd as she told hapless council representative Mr Stanton what she thought of his rate demand , she got Eddie to follow her and Stan to the Rovers where all the other non - payers would be for a group photograph . As Eddie raised his camera , Hilda asked for her fellow protesters to step forward and join them . No one did , all sheepishly admitted that they ' d caved in and paid up . " We ' re on our own again , chuck " was Hilda ' s disappointed response . Finally , in March 1976 , he covered a change of luck for Hilda when she won a trolley dash at Mike Nikopolos ' s delicatessen .

Her dreams came crashing down though when she realised what a next of vipers Elevation actually was . Fellow worker Chloe Bebbington managed the almost unique act of bullying Karen during her brief employment there , setting her up by pointing out that a customer was eating a hamburger in the store , something that Jay detested .
