Coronation Street's Driscoll family win fans' seal of approval amid 'best episode' praise
An episode to remember
Coronation Street fans have been left well and truly impressed with the Driscoll family and their arrival episode.
In last night’s episode (Monday, October 27), Eva, husband Ben, son Ollie, daughter Susie, and Ben’s mum Maggie moved into the Rovers.
And after the hour ep, fans have shared their reaction to the new family – and they’re full of praise.
Eva, Ben and the Driscoll family bought the Rovers
Everything happened so quickly for Eva Price last night. From the moment her husband Ben removed her blindfold and revealed that she was the new owner of the Rovers, it was all systems go.
She reunited with her old mates and loved ones, and even her Street enemy Maria…
It was as if the Driscolls had always been a part of the community, getting to know everyone immediately.
There were sibling squabbles between Leanne and Toyah, dancing and singing between punters, and a few twists in the form of financial issues and a ‘mother-in-law from hell’ rocking up.
It was a true classic Corrie episode, and fans are hopeful that there’s lots more where that came from now that Eva and her family are here to stay.
Eva’s return scenes please Coronation Street fans
Corrie fans have been pleasantly surprised by Eva and the Driscoll’s arrival scenes. And they’re hoping there’s much more to come for the family.
With last night’s episode being a ‘community-based’ episode, fans are loving the break from darker storyline focused scenes.
One fan commented: “That was the best episode of Corrie in such a long time. It felt like the way it was before it went dark. I would love it if they kept it up. Eva’s return is brilliant and I tell you what I think Maggie is going to be an amazing character.”
Another exclaimed: “Really enjoyed that. Best episode in a long time. Great community feel. Welcome back Eva!”
A third person wondered: “Well that was the best episode of Corrie in ages. Why didn’t they bring Eva back years ago?!”
Agreeing, a fourth fan shared: “Incredible episode, best episode in MONTHS maybe even years? Incredible, loved all the scenes, so much laughter and drama being back, and welcome back Eva!”
A final excited fan added: “Just watched today’s Corrie now and wow, the best episode in ages! This is what we want, Eva’s return was fantastic!!”
