Christmas on the cobbles usually brings warmth, family moments, and a bit of festive chaos. But this year, something feels slightly off behind the tinsel and fairy lights. Eva Price and Adam Barlow share a quiet moment that clearly means more than it should, hinting at a past decision neither of them seems ready to face, especially with Christmas Day so close.
A Festive Moment Turns Emotional
Eva’s week takes an unexpected turn when her young daughter Susie casually mentions that she’d love Father Christmas to bring her a baby brother or sister. While Ben Driscoll laughs it off as a sweet childhood wish, Eva doesn’t find it so easy to brush aside. Clearly shaken, Eva slips outside into the pub’s backyard to get some space. Adam soon follows, noticing her distress straight away and gently asking what’s wrong.
From the way he approaches the conversation, it’s clear he senses there’s more to this. Eva admits she feels terrible about keeping something hidden for so long, calling herself a liar and struggling to understand how she managed it. Adam, however, takes a better approach and reminds her that she didn’t have many options at the time, suggesting she did what she thought was best.
The Secret Eva Never Shared in Coronation Street
As their private chat continues, Eva finally reflects on the real reason she’s so upset. She recalls how she once became pregnant but chose to have a termination without ever telling Ben, a decision she still carries with her. Adam had supported her through it all back then, acting as her confidant in moments viewers didn’t see on screen. He reassures Eva that she had no reason to feel guilty.
When Eva starts to wonder if it might finally be time to tell Ben everything, Adam quickly shuts the idea down. He points out that Eva and Ben seem happy and settled now, questioning why she would risk blowing that apart. He also admits he isn’t keen on imagining Ben’s reaction if he ever discovered Adam’s role in keeping the secret. Unfortunately for Eva and Adam, their secret conversations may not stay private for long. Maggie begins to pick up on the fact that Eva is hiding something and soon sets her sights on uncovering the truth.
As Christmas Day approaches, Maggie becomes determined to expose Eva publicly. Viewers will soon learn the full story behind Eva’s pregnancy and Adam’s involvement in scenes airing later this week. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for all the latest Coronation Street twists and festive drama.
