Eva Price returns to Coronation Street as Catherine Tyldesley reprises her role
Eva and Ben will first appear in October, in her first appearance since 2018. Actress Catherine left Corrie having been there for seven years.
Her exit came after Eva decided to move to France for a fresh start. She headed off with her daughter Susie, after Susie’s dad Aidan Connor took his own life.
As well as a link to the pub, Eva has other connections on the Street. She is the half sister of Leanne Battersby, and Carla Connor is also Aidan’s half-sister, making her Susie’s aunt.
So what has Eva been up to since her Weatherfield departure? And how will residents react to her return?
Since her exit, Catherine has starred in dramas including Viewpoint Scarborough and most recently The Good Ship Murder.
