Eva Price returned back to Coronation Street today (Monday, October 27), and brought her whole Driscoll family with her for the experience.

She was thrilled to be in charge of the Rovers, thanking her husband Ben for giving her such a wonderful gift.

Maggie Driscoll soon arrived took change the trajectory though.

Eva came back to the cobbles

Eva’s partner Ben surprised her today by giving her the best gift ever – a newly-bought Rovers.

Believing that they’d bought a more rundown pub nearby, Eva was thrilled with the surprise.

Maria wasn’t thrilled though to see Eva back given their (cough, cough, complicated) history.

With Toyah and Leanne causing chaos in the pub over Nick’s marriage proposal to Toyah, Eva kicked everyone out apart from the two sisters. She then locked them in the pub until they settled their differences. With the three women all bonding over their experiences dating Nick, they found something in common and made things right.

Now that Eva the Peacemaker had worked her magic, the real fun could begin.

But, Eva’s celebratory new era was seemingly premature as she reopened the pub to some bad news from Glenda.

Maggie Driscoll made her mark

Glenda worried that she was going to lose her job now that there were new owners. She then spoke to Carla and relished in the fact that Ben hadn’t actually paid for the pub yet.

Eva was rightly livid when she realised that Ben didn’t actually have the money to buy the Rovers. Seeing no other option but to head back to Hull, Eva started to grab her things.

Ben managed to turn things around though, with Eva staging a lock-in as the new pub landlady after the family officially purchased the pub.

But, Ben’s mum Maggie Driscoll then rocked up to the party and burst Eva’s happy bubble by announcing that it was with her money that Ben had bought the pub. She was now the new landlady, not Eva. Ouch. But, can Eva convince Maggie to let her take charge?
