🚨🎉 GOOD NEWS FOR CORRIE FANS! EVELYN PLUMMER RETURNS AFTER BRIEF EXIT! 🎉🚨

Big news for Coronation Street fans! After taking a break earlier this year, Dame Maureen Lipman is set to reprise her beloved role as Evelyn Plummer on the cobbles, much to the excitement of her loyal followers. Fans were left wondering when the sharp-witted matriarch would return after her departure to attend university and pursue her dream of studying law, a decision encouraged by her good friend Roy Cropper. Now, it seems Evelyn’s time away from the soap is about to end, with the actress returning to filming in the near future for a brief but exciting appearance.

Evelyn’s last appearance on screen was back in March when she learned about her daughter Cassie Plummer’s (Claire Sweeney) troubled past, including her involvement in a shocking incident with Ken Barlow. In the aftermath of Cassie’s betrayal, Evelyn struggled with whether she should stay at university or return to Weatherfield to support her daughter. But now, it looks like Evelyn will be back on our screens for a few weeks to add her unique flavor to the drama once more.

Although Maureen Lipman had announced a ‘gap year’ earlier, explaining that Evelyn would be ‘in and out’ to give the actress a bit of personal time, fans have been eagerly awaiting her return. Sources confirm that she’ll be filming once again and fans can expect to see her on screen soon.

In Evelyn’s most recent storyline, she made the brave decision to support her daughter Cassie, even when the rest of the town turned their back on her. With Tracy Barlow involved in the scandal, Evelyn’s determination to stand by her family left viewers hooked. But what lies ahead for the fiery matriarch in the upcoming episodes?

In related news, co-star Claire Sweeney shared her hopes for Maureen’s return, saying that the actress has been “dipping in and out” of the show. Claire expressed her excitement over the possibility of Maureen returning soon, adding, “Whenever she goes, we had a few drinks with her the other day and we were like: ‘You’ll be back, we’ll see you soon.’”

Last year, Maureen took a bit of a jab at Corrie’s darker storylines, reflecting on the show’s earlier years, a time when many scripts were penned by her late husband, the prolific screenwriter Jack Rosenthal. She noted, “We’ve come to a point in Corrie now where people are getting murdered in knicker factories.” However, she still fondly reminisced about the show’s past and the rich, character-driven stories that defined the show’s legacy.

While the show has evolved with its intense and sometimes political storylines, fans still have a soft spot for the classic moments of dialogue and character-driven stories that made Coronation Street a household name. Maureen’s return promises to bring a dose of nostalgic charm to the cobbles, as Evelyn Plummer continues to navigate family drama, personal struggles, and the complex dynamics of Weatherfield life.

Fans of Evelyn are thrilled to have her back, especially after hearing Maureen’s take on how the show’s focus has shifted over the years. Her return to the screen will undoubtedly add new layers of complexity to Coronation Street, as her sharp wit and no-nonsense attitude once again take center stage.

Don’t miss out on Evelyn’s return! With her fiery personality and unyielding loyalty to her family, there’s no telling what kind of drama she will bring when she makes her grand reappearance on the cobbles. Stay tuned for more updates, and let’s get ready to welcome Evelyn Plummer back to Weatherfield!
