Coronation Street’s Catherine Tyldesley says Eva Price is going to kick off when she finds out about Aidan Connor’s affair with Maria Connor.
And next week she unknowingly pushes the couple closer together when she steps in to help Maria as her life continues to spiral out of control thanks to Caz Hammond.
Here Catherine reveals the week of drama ahead…
What does Eva make of what Maria’s going through?
Eva is currently trying to befriend Maria and she is looking to fill the space that has been left when Kylie passed away. Seeing Maria, Eva almost feels a little bit guilty because, in her eyes, everything in her own life is just wonderful; she’s got the man of her dreams, she is settling down and she sees her old self in Maria. So the main thing is, Eva wants to find Maria somebody, ironically, as good as Aidan.
How does she feel about her relationship with Aidan at this point?
To Eva, this is it now. After a succession of disastrous relationships, she has finally found somebody who she believes is the one, the one that she will stay with forever. Aidan is her Prince Charming and as she is completely unaware of what has happened with him and Maria, she is totally on Cloud 9. There is no reason for her to be suspicious at this point.
What kind of state is Maria in when Eva comes to her rescue?
Maria reckons everybody thinks she is a fruitcake and the fact that she pushes Michelle hasn’t done her any favours. Eva is a very caring person and she really sympathise with Maria. She feels really sorry for Maria because she has been through alot and is going through a lot so Eva just wants to be a good friend at this point.
How does the row with Kate break out and what happens?
Eva does stick up for Maria but Kate is team Caz at the moment so the whole thing is very awkward. Eva doesn’t want to fall out with Kate because she sees her as family but she does take Maria’s corner on this and it causes friction.
What’s Eva’s reaction to the bloodied scissors?
Eva is a very strong character so she goes in to Lady Macbeth mode, very “Get rid, hide them.” She keeps her cool, she is very under control and so they agree to wrap them up and put them in the bin – why would anybody find them? Eva feels that everything is fine and sorted at that point and I think she genuinely does believe that this is the end of that situation.
Why does she suggest Aidan stays with Maria?
Eva can see that Maria is scared because she is living alone with Liam and she hasn’t got a man, as such, to call on. So Eva feels, as a friend, that because she is obviously going out with a very butch, masculine guy that he should stay and look after Maria. Again, Eva is completely unaware that in a roundabout way she is pushing Maia and Aidan closer together. She feels confident enough for her man to stay at another woman’s house; she trusts him completely and that is a massive leap for Eva because she has been cheated on so many times. The fact that she has even done that is pretty amazing which makes me feel even more sorry for her.
How does he react to the idea?
Aidan is slightly awkward and shocked. He doesn’t want to show his feelings for Maria too much but in the end he does agree to the idea. He is very hard to read and I think the audience will see that he is slightly torn but at the same time he is chuffed because he does care about Maria.
What do you make of Eva’s kindness?
I think she is lovely. We have seen Eva grow from being quite cold from when she first came to Weatherfield because she was so deeply unhappy and because of the whole thing with her mum and Leanne. I think Leanne has brought a softer side out of Eva actually and she is now a really caring person just like her mum, Stella. Eva has become more like Stella in that way, everyone’s agony aunt.
Are you enjoying filming these scenes in the build-up to Eva finding out?
I am loving it! Every I get a new block of script in my pigeonhole I am like, “Oh my God! Is this it? What’s going to happen?” I am a viewer as well, I love the show, so I am just as excited to see what happens.
Would you have sussed Aidan out by now?
Yes, I think I would! Eva lives in a bubble, she goes into this fairytale world which is lovely, but she does have rose-tinted glasses on and I think I am very good at reading body language so I would have twigged. To her, everything is all fairy dust and unicorns.
How are you hoping Eva reacts when she does find out?
In the past Eva has said the thing that upsets her most about her fellas having affairs is the girl code. For example, if the other girl knows that the man is involved, that almost makes Eva more angry than the guy doing the dirty and she has mentioned that several times. So I have a feeling that she will get revenge on both of them but I think she will really gun for Maria. We might even see a little cat fight… I’m hoping, I’d love that, I’ve not had one yet!
Well the next question is… would you love a proper cat fight with Samia?
Yes, yes! As an actress it would be loads of fun to do and it is something that I have not done before. I have poured a lot of pints over heads but I have not had a full on catfight. I think Maria deserves a kick up the backside as it were.
Who do you think would win?
I think Eva would be so angry and so filled with rage, I mean this is it for her! For me as an actress, on the outside of things, having played her for several years, I can see her really losing the plot over this. She has been through this [being cheated on] so many times and for her to finally give her all to somebody and… it’s happened again, well…!
What’s the best thing about working with Samia and Shayne?
They are so much fun. Me and Samia, in between takes, we just gossip all day. We have a lot of the same interests, our boys aren’t too dissimilar in age and our husbands are both PTs so we have loads in common. And with Shayne, he just cracks me up, non-stop. We are always singing which is great and he is as daft as I am so it’s nice to have someone on set who has the twelve year old’s mentality sometimes haha!
Have you had lots of reaction to the storyline?
I haven’t had any negativity towards Eva, everyone is in her corner and rightly so I think. If I was a viewer and not playing Eva, I would be team Eva too.
What advice would you give Eva if she was your friend?
Wow, that’s a really good question. I would say to Eva drop him like a hot brick! I would also say be single for a bit because she has jumped from relationship to relationship. She hasn’t found her own passion in life yet so I would like to see her get even then be an independent woman and rise from the flames as it were.
Coronation Street
Coronation Street's Catherine Tyldesley has teased an "explosive" end to that Eva, Maria and Aidan love triangle - and just in time for Christmas by the sound of it.
In typical festive soap land fashion, it looks like self-professed "little miss Christmas" Eva is going to have her heart broken. Well, it is the most wonderful time of the year.
Admitting that Eva is "completely unaware" of Aidan (Shayne Ward) and Maria's (Samia Ghadie) relationship, Catherine revealed "it's quite sad to watch", as her character is totally in love. *Sob*.
"Over Christmas, we see her living the dream. She is so in love," she said. "It's heartbreaking - every time I get a script I feel so sorry for her because she's finally found her Prince Charming.
"She's completely unaware that Aidan's feeling torn... It's quite sad to watch."
And although Catherine doesn't know "how" or "when" Eva uncovers the truth about Aidan and Maria, Christmas is as good a time as any, right?
Things will no doubt intensify this week as we see Maria arrested for 'murder' after Caz's schemings come to fruition.
With Aidan feeling guilty about stashing the scissors, will this latest development bring the two even closer?
Whatever happens, you're sure to be in for a treat - so expect that catfight.
"I've been told that it's going to be quite explosive," Catherine revealed. We wouldn't expect anything less.

Poor, unsuspecting Eva Price still has no clue that her boyfriend Aidan has been cheating on her, but could all that be about to change in the new year on Coronation Street?
The drama unfolds after Jenny overhears Johnny telling Aidan to stop messing about with other women behind Eva's back. After later spotting Aidan having a confab with Alya, she incorrectly assumes that the two of them must be having an affair.
Scenes to be shown on Wednesday 4 January see Aidan inviting Alya round to his flat to talk business, only for Jenny to leap to the erroneous conclusion that they're organising a lovers' tryst. Jenny then tells Eva about what's going on, informing her that should she go round to the flat, she's bound to catch the two of them together.
Barging into the property with all guns blazing, Eva is mortified to find a perfectly innocent business meeting in progress. Protesting his innocence, Aidan ends up tearing a strip off Jenny for trying to split him and Eva up.
But inwardly, he's breathing a sigh of relief that Eva hasn't actually found out the truth: that he has - in reality - been cheating with Maria Connor. Aidan may be safe for now, but how long will it be before Eva gets to the true facts?

Coronation Street's Eva Price resorts to blackmail next week as she fights back against Peter Barlow's cunning plans for the factory.
In a storyline that came slightly out of the blue, Peter (Chris Gascoyne) and his nephew Adam have both suddenly decided that they have a claim on Underworld – and they're ready to fight for their rights.
Despite the Connor family scoffing at the Barlows' ambitions, they start to panic next week as they realise that Peter and Adam could actually be onto a winner.
Aidan hears the bad news from his solicitor Ben, who advises that Peter and Adam could potentially have a very strong case.
Things then get even worse for the Connors when Adam and Peter clock Aidan's exchange with Ben, realising they could have a huge payout on the way very soon.
Peter gets so excited over the news that he even promises to take his son Simon on an adventure holiday, but Eva is appalled when Aidan tells her that the worrying situation could bankrupt Underworld.
Fortunately, Eva has an ace up her sleeve as Simon has just confided in her about his dad's secret affair with Toyah Battersby.
Calling at the Barlow house, Eva warns Peter that she'll tell Leanne everything unless he drops his claim against the factory immediately.
After some panicked discussions, Peter and Toyah both decide to give into Eva's vicious threats, fearing that Leanne could lose the baby if she finds out they're a couple and gets herself stressed out.
Hating what he has to do, Peter approaches Aidan and reveals that he's now dropping the whole case – but will Adam be willing to back down so easily?
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Wednesday, January 11 at 7.30pm on ITV.

adam and peter are pathetic
agree. Peter does not deserve anything from the factory after his betrayal of Carla. Even though i hate Adam he may have a point.
what he did to Carla is irrelevant. He chose to give up his share of the factory for nothing and that's his problem. As for Adam if he wanted the factory then he shouldn't have sold it to Liam and Paul Connor. If they win then the factory will go belly up and all those women + Sean will be screwed. Not liking Adam so farQuote:
