Coronation Street fans are buzzing with excitement after Catherine Tyldesley was spotted on set, signalling the long-awaited return of her character Eva Price. The actress, who left the iconic ITV soap in 2018, is reportedly preparing for a dramatic on-screen comeback this autumn.

Tyldesley originally joined Corrie in 2011, quickly becoming a fan favourite for her portrayal of the feisty and glamorous Eva Price. Her return comes after months of speculation and follows several attempts by producers to bring her back.
Tyldesley is said to be thrilled to return:
“She really missed Corrie. When she was approached with the idea for Eva’s return, it was too good an opportunity to pass up.”
She is expected to begin filming this summer, with episodes featuring her return airing in the autumn.
