Eva Price and Aidan Connor in Coronation Street, AKA actors Catherine Tyldesley and Shayne Ward had a tumultuous romance in the show!
And now they have been reunited in a new Channel 5 drama called The Good Ship Murder, which starts this Friday, October 13.
It’s clear the pair have great on-screen chemistry. So what was the story with their Corrie alter egos?
Who was Eva Price?
Eva was the younger half-sister of Leanne Battersby. Her mum, Stella Price (played by EastEnders star Michelle Collins) arrived in Weatherfield in 2011.
Eva had a few disastrous romances with Jason Grimshaw (who also had an affair with Stella!) as well as with Nick Tilsley and Rob Donovan.
But it was Aidan Connor who she fell hard for.
Sleazy affair!
The pair seemed great together at first, but Aidan was soon having an affair with Maria Connor.
Eva was oblivious to the pair’s steamy illicit romance, until she returned home from a trip to France early and almost caught them in the act!
Aidan managed to cover his tracks but just a little while later, he accidentally left his tablet connected to the television.

Such humiliation.
Eva, though, didn’’
