Eva Price in Coronation Street was the ditzy, loveable, sharp-tongued half sister of Leanne Battersby. Sometime girlfriend of Adam Barlow, one true love of Aidan Connor, and generally an all-round Corrie legend!
Eva the diva, as she was nicknamed, was glamorous and dramatic, and she was at the heart of the action during her seven years on the Street.
Who was Eva Price?
Eva arrived in Coronation Street to live with her mum Stella Price and Stella’s partner Karl Munro, when they took over the Rovers.
Stella was Leanne’s biological mum, making Eva and Leanne half sisters.
Eva had a string of ill-judged romances with Jason Grimshaw, Nick Tilsley and killer Rob Donovan, earning her a reputation as a bit of a man-eater.
But Eva proved to have more about her than just good hair and bad taste in men when she became friends with Billy Mayhew, the local vicar.
Fighting modern-day slavery
Eva came across a girl called Marta, hiding out in the factory – she’d smuggled herself out of the house where she lived when Eva and Aidan Connor went for dinner with Underworld clients.
She realised poor Marta had been exploited by her former ’employers’ the O’Driscolls. Along with Billy, Eva set about exposing the O’Driscolls and helping Marta.
What a hero!
Eva and Aidan
After a few doomed relationships, Eva fell for Aidan Connor.
Eva was head over heels for the handsome factory boss, but Aidan started an affair with Maria Connor.
Poor Eva found out the truth when Aidan accidentally left his phone connected to the couple’s television.
A message from Maria to Aidan flashed up on the screen when Eva was watching. What a shock!
But there was no big confrontation – not then anyway! Instead Eva set about taking stone-cold revenge on her cheating fella.
She pretended to be pregnant, and when Aidan proposed, she accepted and even asked Maria to be her head bridesmaid.
