Catherine Tyldesley, best known for her role as Eva Price on Coronation Street, has recently revealed that she has been approached by the ITV soap to reprise her former character. The 41-year-old actress had played Eva for seven years, from 2011 to 2018, and was involved in many high-profile storylines during her time on the show.
Eva was introduced as the estranged half-sister of Leanne Battersby, along with their mother Stella, as the new owners of the Rovers Return. She was at the center of attention for various reasons, including giving birth to a baby named Susie, whom she later gave to her sister Toyah to raise as her own child. This decision came after Toyah had struggled with fertility issues and her surrogate miscarried.
However, after the truth about Susie's parentage was revealed, Eva left for France with the infant, just weeks after the father, Aidan Connor, tragically took his own life. Since her departure from the show, Catherine has been busy with other projects such as Strictly Come Dancing, BBC comedy Scarborough, and Midsomer Murders. But she has not ruled out a return to the cobbles if the right opportunity arises.
In a recent interview with Prima magazine, Catherine shared her fond memories of her time on Coronation Street, saying it feels like forever ago but she looks back on it with great fondness. She also revealed that she has been approached by the show for a potential return on a few occasions, but her schedule didn't allow for it. However, she is open to the idea of going back if the storyline and timing are right.
Catherine has also reunited with former Coronation Street co-star Shayne Ward for the second season of Channel 5's drama The Good Ship Murder. The series follows a cabaret singer, Jack Grayling, who uses his former detective skills to solve a murder on a luxury cruise ship. The show also features soap stars Claire Sweeney, Ross Adams, and Lorna Laidlaw, making for a star-studded cast.
Each episode of The Good Ship Murder ends with Jack performing a song in the ship's cabaret lounge, adding a touch of high camp to the high seas.
