Catherine Tyldesley shares own doubts over Eva's future in Coronation Street
We're loving Eva being back
Catherine Tyldesley has officially returned to Coronation Street as Eva Price, but she’s already doubting her future on the soap.
The Driscolls moved into the Rovers last week and brought with them a whole lot of chaos.
But, Catherine’s ‘pinch-me-I’m-back’ moment is a lot to process as she’s already worrying that soap bosses will decide they’ve ‘had enough’ of the character.
Welcome back, new landlady Eva Price
Eva Price was overjoyed last week when her husband, Ben Driscoll, surprised her with an incredible gesture – he’d bought the Rovers Return.
The pair wasted no time settling in, moving into the pub with Ben’s son Ollie and Eva’s daughter Susie as they began their fresh start together.
But the celebrations were short-lived. Things took a dramatic turn when Ben’s mum, Maggie Driscoll, turned up unannounced and revealed a shocking truth – Ben had actually used her money to buy the pub.
After some fiery clashes, the family finally reached a compromise. Eva would step into the role of landlady. But, Maggie would still hold the reins behind the scenes.
Just as it seemed peace might be restored, more chaos hit the Driscoll household. Ben’s other son, Will, suddenly disappeared. When he eventually came home, viewers were stunned to learn he was hiding a dark secret. Will had been seeing an older woman and was being groomed.
Catherine Tyldesley worries about longevity of Eva’s future on soap
Coronation Street actress Catherine Tyldesley is loving being back on the cobbles. She doesn’t take it her job for granted though. For now, she’s admitted that she’s just enjoying each day on set. A lengthy future for Eva on the Street hasn’t been promised.
Speaking to the Express, Catherine said: “Well, it depends when they get fed up with me! I mean that laugh can get quite irritating!”
She then added: “I’ve always felt extremely grateful to the writing team because they have always given Eva so much, so fingers crossed they don’t get bored of me too fast. I’m just enjoying it while it’s there and we will see what happens but I would like to imagine that they have lots of plans for Eva.”
There’s lots more drama to come for Eva in the near-future though, so here’s to hoping she sticks around to give us even more!
