Maureen Lipman, who portrays the beloved character Evelyn Plummer on the popular ITV soap opera, Coronation Street, has recently shared some exciting news about her future on the show. During a recent interview on Alan Titchmarsh's Love Your Weekend show, the actress confirmed that she has signed a contract to continue playing Evelyn for another year.
When the host, Alan, asked about her plans for the show, Maureen happily revealed that she has no intentions of leaving anytime soon. "I have been signed up to do another year, yes," she said with a smile. "It's good for you, it keeps you on your toes, my goodness me."
Aside from her role on Coronation Street, Maureen also discussed her love for acting in general, stating that she still finds the industry "completely fascinating." Alan agreed, calling it a "stimulating" business.
Maureen joined the cast in 2018, taking on the role of Evelyn Plummer after previously playing Rovers Return relief manager Lilian Spencer. Since her debut, Evelyn has become a fan-favorite with her witty one-liners and entertaining storylines. She even reconnected with her estranged grandson and moved in with him at No. 9.
More recently, Evelyn has reunited with her long-lost daughter, Cassie Plummer, and formed a meaningful friendship with Roy Cropper. It's clear that Maureen's character has had a significant impact on the show, and fans will be delighted to hear that she will continue to grace the cobbles for another year.
However, it was previously announced that Maureen will be taking a break from Coronation Street later this year to participate in a pantomime. But fans need not worry, as a spokesperson for the show confirmed that she will return in 2025. "We look forward to seeing her back on the cobbles in 2025," they stated.
