In exciting news for Coronation Street fans, Catherine Tyldesley is set to reprise her iconic role as Eva Price after an absence of seven years.
The actress, who portrayed the feisty and glamorous character from 2011 until 2018, is gearing up to return to Weatherfield later this year.
Tyldesley’s return is sure to stir up a storm on the cobbles, especially with her character’s deep connections to the Rovers Return and its current landlady, Jenny Connor.
Eva Price’s Iconic Departure
Eva Price left Coronation Street in 2018 after a dramatic exit that saw her leave the cobbles for a new life in France with her daughter, Susie.
Her time in Weatherfield was marked by numerous dramatic storylines, including her tumultuous relationship with Aidan Connor (Shayne Ward), the father of her child,
and her eventual decision to keep Susie away from him after his tragic suicide. Fans were left heartbroken as Eva bid farewell to her beloved home, but the door was left open for a potential return.
Catherine’s Exciting Return
After her time away from Coronation Street, Catherine Tyldesley is thrilled to return to the show that made her a household name. At 41, Tyldesley has kept busy with various projects, but she admits that she has missed her time on the cobbles and was eager to step back into the shoes of Eva Price. A source close to the actress revealed to The Sun that, although there had been multiple attempts to bring her back in the past, the timing had never been right—until now.
When approached with the opportunity for Eva’s return, Tyldesley couldn’t resist, and she’ll begin filming in the summer with her return to screen expected in the autumn. Fans can look forward to an exciting and unmissable storyline when Eva Price reappears on their screens.
What Does Eva’s Return Mean for the Rovers Return?
The big question on everyone’s mind is how Eva will return to Weatherfield—and many fans believe she’ll take over the Rovers Return, a pub that holds deep significance for her character. During her previous stint on the soap, Eva worked behind the bar at the iconic pub, and many believe that she could return to reclaim it after Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) runs into trouble.
Recent storylines have shown Jenny’s growing tension with her stepdaughter, Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan), and it seems that the pair will soon fall out, which could lead to further conflict over the pub. Daisy and Jenny are already facing financial troubles, owing money to Carla Connor (Alison King) after stealing from her business. With the pressure mounting, some fans speculate that Jenny could be forced to sell the Rovers, leaving Eva in a prime position to take control.
A number of viewers have taken to social media to share their theories about Eva’s return. One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “I reckon Eva Price is going to end up being the one to buy the pub back off Jenny, Carla, and Daisy.” Another added: “I have a strange feeling one landlady will be swapped for the other. Do you think Eva could get back behind the Rovers bar?” Fans seem to be eagerly anticipating the possibility of Eva’s return to the heart of Weatherfield’s social scene.
Eva’s Return Will Not Disappoint
When asked about her return, Tyldesley expressed her excitement about returning to Coronation Street, saying, “I’ve had a great time working on other projects, but I’ve really missed Corrie. The show holds a special place in my heart, and I can’t wait to get back to it.” The source also mentioned that the storyline involving Eva’s return will be one that fans won’t want to miss, hinting at exciting developments ahead.
With Eva’s potential to take over the Rovers Return and the already established tensions between Jenny, Daisy, and Carla, Eva’s return is bound to shake things up. Viewers can expect plenty of drama, as Eva’s re-entry into Weatherfield will undoubtedly stir old rivalries and create new conflicts.
A Return to the Cobbles
Tyldesley’s return to Coronation Street has been a long time coming, and fans are already buzzing with excitement. As filming begins this summer, it’s clear that Eva Price’s storyline will be a major event in the autumn. With her ties to the Rovers Return and the ongoing drama surrounding Jenny and Daisy, Eva’s return will be one of the biggest moments of the year for Coronation Street.
For fans of the show, this marks the return of a beloved character, and Eva Price’s storyline is sure to keep audiences hooked as she takes her place once again in the heart of Weatherfield. With her undeniable charisma and fiery spirit, Catherine Tyldesley is sure to bring plenty of drama back to the cobbles—just in time for the autumn.
