<\/p>\nITV have confirmed that Corrie favourite Eva Price is returning to the cobbles this autumn as the landlady of The Rovers Return, and she won\u2019t be alone!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Catherine Tyldesley is back filming top secret scenes in Weatherfield and she has been joined by two exciting new additions to the cast. Acclaimed actors Aaron McCusker and Pauline McLynn will be arriving alongside Catherine as Eva\u2019s partner Ben Driscoll and his interfering mother Maggie.<\/p>\n
Eva and Ben will be revealed to residents as the new owners of The Rovers Return in October – putting Eva back behind the bar of the nation\u2019s favourite pub for the first time since 2018.<\/p>\n
Eva will be reunited with her sisters Leanne and Toyah, as well as catching up with her old friends and neighbours. But what has she been up to since she left Weatherfield and how will this new clan fit into the drama on the Street?<\/p>\n
Also joining the cast will be Ben\u2019s two sons and Eva\u2019s daughter Suzie and it is safe to say the Price\/Driscoll family will be arriving with a bang and a suitcase full of secrets. Corrie fans will recognise Pauline as Mrs Doyle in Father Ted and Libby Croker in Shameless. She also appeared in Eastenders as Yvonne Cotton in 2014.<\/p>\n
Aaron is best known for playing Jamie McGuire in Shameless, he also starred as Jim Hutton, Freddie Mercury’s boyfriend, in the 2018 feature film Bohemian Rhapsody.<\/p>\n
Catherine left Coronation Street in 2018 after seven years on the cobbles. Since waving farewell to Weatherfield she has appeared in dramas such as Viewpoint, Suspicion, Scarborough and most recently The Good Ship Murder.<\/p>\n
Coronation Street producer Kate Brooks said: \u201cWe are beyond thrilled that Eva is returning as the landlady of the Rovers, with her new blended family in tow. The Driscolls do not arrive quietly, so expect big drama, explosive secrets and raucous knees ups galore…<\/p>\n
“To have actors of Catherine, Aaron and Pauline’s considerable calibre at the beating heart of this family is absolutely wonderful, and we can’t wait for you to get to know and fall in love with them as much as we have already done. Strap yourselves in, it’s going to be an exciting and eventful ride.\u201d<\/p>\n
