Coronation Street is about to erupt—because the doors of the Rovers Return are swinging open for a brand-new dynasty, and they’re not arriving quietly. After years away, fan favourite Eva Price is making a shock comeback to the cobbles—but she’s not the same woman she was when she left in 2018. She’s returning with secrets, surprises, and a blended family that could blow Weatherfield apart.

Eva’s reappearance was the twist no one saw coming, but what’s even more jaw-dropping is who she’s bringing with her. Ben Driscoll, played by Shameless star Aaron McCusker, is Eva’s latest partner—and he’s got baggage in the form of two teenage sons who don’t exactly scream “quiet pub life.” But that’s just the beginning. Rounding out the new arrivals is Maggie, Ben’s sharp-tongued and meddling mother, portrayed by comedy legend Pauline McLynn (Father Ted), who’s guaranteed to stir the pot.

Together, they’re stepping behind the bar of the Rovers Return—Weatherfield’s most iconic battleground. It’s a bold move for Eva, who fled to France to raise her daughter Suzie away from the drama. But now, Suzie is back too, and this new family unit is about to shake up the street like never before.

Insiders hint at explosive confrontations, messy feuds, and deeply buried secrets threatening to unravel the very foundation of the Rovers. According to Corrie producer Kate Brooks, “The Driscolls do not arrive quietly.” That’s putting it lightly. Think scandal. Think betrayal. Think family implosion served with a side of lager.

The emotional stakes are sky-high. Eva’s return doesn’t just mark a nostalgic moment for longtime fans—it reopens old wounds. With the Rovers symbolizing decades of love, loss, and loyalty, Eva’s comeback will have ripple effects that hit some of Coronation Street’s biggest names.

Who will welcome her with open arms? Who will slam the door in her face?

Already, tensions are simmering. Longtime residents are wary. And with beloved characters like Eileen Grimshaw, Craig Tinker, and Mason Radcliffe having recently exited the show, the power vacuum on the cobbles is ripe for takeover. The Driscolls smell opportunity—but at what cost?

Expect turf wars behind the bar, generational clashes between kids and grown-ups, and more than one skeleton tumbling out of Maggie’s handbag. Suzie, once shielded from Weatherfield life, may discover that her new family isn’t as picture-perfect as Eva hoped. And with Maggie’s sharp tongue and Ben’s secrets threatening to explode, how long can this fragile new empire survive?

One thing is clear: Coronation Street isn’t just getting new landlords—it’s entering a brand-new era. And for the Rovers Return, the only certainty is chaos.
