Coronation Street is set to welcome Eva Price back to the cobbles next week as she makes her return as the new Rovers landlady.
She’s also bringing a whole load of secrets and chaos with her as she heads behind the iconic bar.
Here’s everything you can expect from Eva’s return to Weatherfield.
1. Moving into the pub
Eva’s husband Ben blindfolds her on Coronation Street and then unveils his latest purchase – the Rovers. He’s bought the pub, meaning that Eva will be landlady.
Moving into the iconic Coronation Street landmark, Eva and Ben will be joined by the rest of the Driscoll family – Maggie, Susie, Ollie and Will.
And, the family is thrown straight into the chaos as they waste no time in throwing a celebratory party, hosting a Halloween extravaganza, and kicking out a couple of misbehaving punters too. And, that’s all in their first week. It’s fair to say that they’ll be making quite a memorable entrance.
2. Ben’s mum Maggie causes trouble
When Eva rocks up onto the Street, she’s under the impression that she’ll be leaving Ben’s mum and her mother-in-law Maggie behind.
But, she soon realises that she got that wrong! She gets a right shock when Maggie trails behind them and announces that she’s moving into the pub too. And, she’s not one to joke.
Catherine Tyldesley recently hinted at Maggie being the ‘mother-in-law from Hell’ for Eva. Speaking to the Mirror, she shared: “There are so many twists and turns with the Driscolls. The mother-in-law from hell feels like a harsh title but I don’t think I am far off.
“The constant swipes at each other, and Ben is very much stuck in the middle. Things do start to come to a head and he has to make that decision of whose side are you on here. They both get frustrated with him.”
3. Maria and Eva’s feud reignites
Maria and Eva last left each other on bad terms (and that’s putting it lightly.)
So, when Maria sees Eva back on the Street, her face is a picture. And, she makes her feelings very clear, igniting a new feud.
Speaking to the Metro, Catherine teased what’s on the cards for Maria and Eva: “
