1. Eva Price Returns – and Instantly Reignites Chaos

After years away, Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley) finally returns to Weatherfield — and she’s bringing plenty of drama with her.

Outside the Rovers, Ben Driscoll (Aaron McCusker) surprises Eva by revealing he’s bought the pub for her. But not everyone’s thrilled: Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) is horrified to see her former rival back, setting up a fiery confrontation.

Things escalate when Eva’s reunion with half-sisters Leanne (Jane Danson) and Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor) turns into a disaster — as Leanne walks in on Nick (Ben Price) proposing to Toyah!

Eva later locks everyone inside the Rovers, declaring it’s time for the Battersby sisters to “sort it out once and for all.” But peace doesn’t last — Eva’s celebration with Ben is spoiled when his mother Maggie (Pauline McLynn) announces she’s moving in… and she may not be the ally Eva hopes for.
