Fans of Coronation Street are anticipating heartbreak as Eva Price’s new husband, Ben Driscoll, may be involved in a shocking affair. This twist comes shortly after Eva’s return to the popular ITV soap. After a seven-year hiatus, Eva made her comeback this week, much to the delight of viewers.
Eva’s Return to Weatherfield
Eva, portrayed by Catherine Tyldesley, left Weatherfield in 2018 for a fresh start in France. She was last seen navigating life after the tragic suicide of her daughter’s father, Aidan Connor, played by Shayne Ward. This week, she returned, excited to reunite with familiar faces and embrace a new life with her young daughter, Susie Price.
New Beginnings and Revelations
Upon her return, Ben Driscoll, Eva’s husband played by Aaron McCusker, surprised her with the purchase of the Rovers Return, making her the landlady. The couple’s reunion with old neighbors and family, including her sister Leanne Battersby and rival Maria Sutherland, added to the joy of their new life.
While unpacking their new home, Eva’s daughter Susie and Ben’s son Ollie, who is Dee-Dee Bailey’s boyfriend, made their appearances. The discovery that Ben is Ollie’s father shocked Dee-Dee, portrayed by Channique Sterling-Brown, especially given her previous clashes with him.
Predictions of an Affair
Despite the initial excitement, fans on social media are speculating about potential infidelity involving Ben and Dee-Dee. With Dee-Dee’s upcoming exit from the soap announced earlier this month, many viewers have taken to fan pages to express their theories.
- One fan remarked humorously about the unfolding family dynamics.
- Others expressed similar sentiments, anticipating that the storyline might lead to Dee-Dee’s departure.
Channique has shared her bittersweet feelings regarding her exit, stating she is eager for new adventures post-Coronation Street.
Final Thoughts
This upcoming storyline promises to add drama to Coronation Street, with fans eagerly watching to see if the cheating predictions come true. New episodes air Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8 PM on ITV1 and ITVX.
