Overview
- ITV’s new teaser shows Ben Driscoll buying the Rovers for Eva and a packed opening party, followed by the arrival of his mother Maggie with “shocking news.”
- Eva returns with husband Ben (Aaron McCusker), his mother Maggie (Pauline McLynn), Ben’s sons Will and Ollie, and Eva’s daughter Susie, with Ollie already known on-screen as Dee‑Dee Bailey’s love interest.
- Producers and Catherine Tyldesley signal that Eva’s long‑running feud with Maria Connor will flare up again, while an encounter with ex Adam Barlow is played as friendly rather than romantic.
- Tyldesley says she had been asked back before but accepted this comeback because the timing finally felt right for her personally and professionally.
- The Rovers is set for an Eva‑style refresh, with Tyldesley teasing a festive look featuring pink touches, flowers and bows.
