Weatherfield is about to get a whole lot more dramatic as one of Coronation Street's most beloved characters makes her long-awaited return to the famous cobbles. Catherine Tyldesley has officially confirmed she'll be reprising her role as the fiery and fabulous Eva Price in what promises to be an explosive storyline.
From Barmaid to Businesswoman: Eva's New Chapter
The actress, who first graced our screens as Eva back in 2011, revealed the exciting news to her legion of fans. While specific plot details remain tightly under wraps, insiders suggest Eva's return will send shockwaves through the Street, particularly for those who crossed her during her previous tenure.
Eva Price became one of the soap's most memorable characters during her seven-year stint, delivering some of Coronation Street's most iconic moments. Who could forget her dramatic affair with Aidan Connor or her spectacular revenge plot that had viewers gripped?
Manchester's Favourite Returns Home
Tyldesley expressed her excitement about returning to the Manchester-based set, telling fans: "I'm thrilled to be stepping back into Eva's shoes. She's such a vibrant character to play, and I can't wait for viewers to see what she's been up to since we last saw her."
The production team at ITV are equally enthusiastic about the comeback. A show insider revealed: "Eva's return is going to be everything fans have been hoping for and more. We've got some incredible storylines lined up that will remind everyone why she became such a firm favourite."
What This Means for Coronation Street Regulars
While the exact details of Eva's return narrative remain secret, speculation is running wild among the soap's dedicated fanbase. Several current characters have history with Eva, including:
- Leanne Battersby - her former sister-in-law
- Toyah Battersby - who shared many memorable moments with Eva
- Steve McDonald - her former employer at The Rovers Return
The return is scheduled to film in the coming weeks, with Eva expected to reappear on screens later this year. This major casting coup comes as Coronation Street continues to deliver some of its most compelling drama in years.
Longtime viewers will remember that Eva last appeared in 2018 when she left Weatherfield to start a new life away from the drama. Her return promises to answer the burning question: what has the former barmaid turned businesswoman been doing all these years?
