Coronation Street fans are buzzing with excitement as reports suggest that one of the soap’s most beloved characters,
Eva Price, is set to make a long-awaited return to the cobbles.
Actress Catherine Tyldesley, who originally played Eva from 2011 until her departure in 2018,
is rumored to be reprising her role later this year, sending fans into a frenzy of speculation about how she will be reintroduced to Weatherfield.
Since leaving Coronation Street, Tyldesley has been involved in various television projects, including roles in The Good Ship Murder, Scarborough, and Viewpoint.
Despite her busy schedule, reports indicate that the actress has agreed to return to the ITV soap, with filming expected to commence in the summer for an autumn broadcast.
While the details surrounding Eva’s return remain under wraps, sources suggest that it will be a storyline that fans won’t want to miss.
During her time in Weatherfield, Eva was known for her dramatic storylines, turbulent relationships, and memorable feuds. Her departure saw her leave for France with her mother, Stella Price (Michelle Collins), following the tragic death of her former fiancé, Aidan Connor (Shayne Ward). With her history of high-stakes drama, fans are eagerly theorizing how she might re-enter the fold.
One prevailing fan theory is that Eva could take over the iconic Rovers Return Inn. Speculation began circulating on social media, with one fan posting 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 agreed, writing, “I have a strange feeling one landlady will be swapped for another. Do you think Eva could get back behind the Rovers bar?”
This theory has gained traction, particularly in light of the recent news that Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan), a barmaid at the Rovers, is set to leave the show later this year. Reports have suggested that Daisy’s storyline will wrap up by late summer or early autumn, potentially creating a perfect opportunity for Eva to make her grand return. Some fans believe that Eva’s comeback could even be linked to Daisy’s departure, possibly playing a crucial role in the character’s exit storyline.
According to an insider source quoted by The Sun, Tyldesley has been approached for a return several times over the years, but previous efforts never materialized. This time, however, the timing and storyline reportedly aligned perfectly. “Cath has been away for a while and worked on countless other projects, but she really missed Corrie,” the source revealed. “They’ve tried to get her back a few times, but the stars have never aligned—until now.”
While ITV has yet to confirm the news, fans are eagerly awaiting official confirmation and more details on how Eva’s return will unfold. With the Rovers Return Inn currently under the ownership of Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews), Carla Connor (Alison King), and Daisy Midgeley, there could be major shifts in store for the iconic Weatherfield pub. If Eva were to step in as the new landlady, it would mark a dramatic and fitting homecoming for the character.
Whether she returns to reclaim her place behind the Rovers’ bar, reunite with old friends and rivals, or stir up fresh drama in Weatherfield, one thing is certain—Eva Price’s comeback is set to be one of Coronation Street’s most highly anticipated moments of the year. Fans will have to stay tuned to see exactly how her reappearance will shake up life on the cobbles.
