Eva Price’s comeback to Weatherfield has brought a fresh spark to the Rovers Return but under all the laughter and celebration, there’s something unsettling. The once-bubbly barmaid turned landlady seems to be stepping into happiness again, yet secrets within her new family threaten to unravel everything. As smiles fade and tensions rise, there’s one question, how long before the truth behind the bar finally explodes?
Eva’s Return Brings Cheer to Coronation Street
After seven years away, Eva Price has reclaimed her place at the heart of Coronation Street as the new landlady of the Rovers Return. Joined by her husband Ben and mother-in-law Maggie, whose wealth helped fund the pub purchase, Eva’s comeback has filled the iconic establishment with joy and laughter. The bubbly blonde’s presence has brought a lively energy back to the cobbles, giving fans a nostalgic taste of the Rovers’ golden days.
Catherine Tyldesley, who portrays Eva, shared how thrilled she’s been to return to the set. She said that the Rovers has been “filled with so much happiness and joy,” adding that she’s lost count of the number of parties filmed since her comeback. The actress praised the writing and cast energy, saying it’s been “amazing” to be part of the fun again. But even as the Rovers overflows with cheer, Catherine warned that things aren’t as simple as they seem.
There are Secrets Behind the Smile
While Eva adjusts to her new role, her world might not be as stable as it appears. Ben’s son Will recently returned to the cobbles after going missing, leaving the family relieved but uneasy. At first, his struggles seemed to stem from the difficulty of adapting to Weatherfield life but viewers soon learned that Ben may be hiding something far darker. The tension surrounding Will’s disappearance and Ben’s mysterious behavior has left fans on edge.
Catherine, meanwhile, opened up about her uncertain future on the show, joking that her stay “depends on when they get fed up” with her, and admitting with a laugh that Eva’s voice “can get quite irritating.” Despite her lightheartedness, she made it clear she’s grateful for the chance to revisit the role, praising the writers for giving Eva such rich storylines. Still, her words carried tension, suggesting that bigger, more dramatic turns are ahead.
Catherine said she’s “just enjoying it while it’s there” and hopes the writers have “lots of plans for Eva.” As the truth about Ben’s past begins to surface, Eva finds herself caught between loyalty and suspicion. Fans can expect emotional twists as Eva faces choices that could change everything for her and those she loves.
