Big news is brewing on Coronation Street as fans prepare for a major shake-up at the Rovers Return Inn. The legendary Weatherfield pub, a symbol of community and chaos for decades, is about to enter a brand-new era with fresh faces behind the bar and plenty of drama on the horizon.

Carla Makes a Big Decision

In next week’s episodes, Carla Connor finally reveals the fate of the Rovers to her fiancée Lisa Swain. After months of uncertainty following Jenny Bradley’s departure and Glenda Shuttleworth’s brief stint as landlady, Carla confesses that she has sold the pub. The new owner’s name, she shares, is Ben — but beyond that, she keeps her cards close to her chest.

The revelation sparks speculation about who Ben really is and what his arrival might mean for the Rovers’ future. Could Weatherfield’s most iconic watering hole be facing yet another storm?

Eva Price Returns to the Cobbles

Fans won’t have to wait long for answers. Earlier this year, it was announced that Catherine Tyldesley would reprise her beloved role as Eva Price, returning to Coronation Street in spectacular fashion. Eva will make her comeback with partner Ben Driscoll, played by Aaron McCusker, and his outspoken mother Maggie, portrayed by EastEnders legend Pauline McLynn.

The new family won’t be arriving quietly. Eva and Ben will bring along Ben’s two sons and Eva’s daughter, Suzie, creating a lively blended household that promises chaos, laughter, and plenty of emotional fireworks.

“Explosive Secrets and Big Drama Ahead”

Speaking about the new storyline, Corrie producer Kate Brooks teased, “We are beyond thrilled that Eva is returning as the landlady of the Rovers, with her new blended family in tow. The Driscolls do not arrive quietly, so expect big drama, explosive secrets, and raucous knees-ups galore.”

Brooks added, “To have actors of Catherine, Aaron, and Pauline’s calibre at the heart of this family is wonderful. Strap yourselves in, it’s going to be an exciting and eventful ride.”

With the Rovers under new management and Eva Price back in town, one thing’s certain — life in Weatherfield is about to get loud, lively, and unmissable.
