No Stella, Only Cindy
Eva Price will be making her grand return to Coronation Street. She will be the new landlady of the Rovers Return. However, she won’t be alone; her partner, Ben Driscoll, and his mother, Maggie, will also arrive. They will come alongside Eva’s daughter, Sussie and Ben’s two sons. Even Corrie boss Kate Brooks hinted that the new family unit is ready to shake up things.
However, fans immediately wondered if Stella Price would join her daughter. But Michelle Collins confirmed that it is not happening. She even said that the BBC soap would not let her cross over. Collins also mentioned that jumping between Cindy and Stelle would confuse our viewers. However, she is excited for Catherine Tyldesley’s return as Eva.
She said, “I’ll be watching because I love Cath and she told me she was going back, so I’m very excited for her.” She even spoke about her own time as Stella on the soap. Michelle also mentioned how it shaped her career. However, she emphasised that Cindy Beale now commands her full attention.
Cindy’s EastEnders Chaos Continues
Meanwhile, back in Walford, Cindy Beale is dominating every storyline she is a part of. Her return in 2023 confirmed she never died in prison. She has been living undercover ever since. Back then, Cindy faced shocking confrontations with ex George Knight and their daughters. Cindy had an affair with George’s son. She also had a violent clash with Kathy Beale.
Cindy once shoved Ian Beale in front of a moving car. It then crashed into the Queen Vic. It had caused an enormous explosion that left Albert Square reeling. Fans were stunned by her bold move. It proves why Michelle Collins is a standout on the show.
Michelle also spoke about the upcoming storylines. However, she kept most details under wraps. “I can’t say too much. I’ve just got the Christmas scripts and I’m kind of excited. That’s all I can say,” she revealed. However, one thing is for sure: Michelle is committed to EastEnders at the moment.
And Stella Price’s return to Coronation Street is not happening anytime soon. Instead, fans could see how Eva Price and her blended family settle into the ROvers.
