Coronation Street's Jason Grimshaw could have big competition on his hands if he wants to reunite with Eva Price.
Eva will be heading back to Weatherfield later in the year, but while many expected her to give Jason another chance, show bosses are thought to be lining up a new love interest for her.
When the Rovers barmaid returns home, she will find love with Shayne Ward's character Aidan Connor, according to The Sun today (July 9).
The new relationship would be a devastating blow for Jason, who still holds out hope of getting things back on track with Eva.
Eva is currently off screen as Catherine Tyldesley, who plays the feisty character, has been on maternity leave. She gave birth to a baby boy Alfie, her first child, in March.
A temporary exit for Eva aired in February, as she decided to leave the cobbles for a while after Jason mistakenly accused her of an affair with his father Tony Stewart. Jason has since discovered that his half-brother Todd was responsible for tricking him into his suspicions.
Former X Factor winner Ward will make his first appearance on Coronation Street next month. His character Aidan is a distant cousin of established regular Michelle.
what about her new fiance that Leanne mentioned?
I would presume that they split up and that is why she is coming back to WeatherfieldQuote:

We know that soap characters that have been written out, be it permanently or temporarily, never attend important family events as it would happen in real life
Did Leanne ever even mention any of her family calling her after Kal's death, Toyah, Eva and Janice would have came to visit herQuote:

It was claimed last week that show bosses are thought to be lining up a new romance for Eva in the form of Shayne Ward's character Aidan Connor.
So Todd succeeded. Surely if he explains to Eva
Jason hurt Eva´s feelings really badly though by suspecting she has a fling with his dad so it would be normal for her not to immediately forgive him once she returns, even if he explains .. the issue of lack of trust will probably be there for ever now :(Quote:

Eva arrives back in Weatherfield with plenty of drama in tow, having fled from France and a failed engagement.
And it looks like she's heading straight for more drama on the street. She has a run-in with Sarah in The Rovers, and then comes face-to-face with ex Jason. Is there still a spark there perhaps?
See what Catherine Tyldesley has to say about Eva's return...

Catherine Tyldesley has confirmed there will be a romance between Eva and Aidan.
The actress has just returned to Coronation Street after her maternity leave and has revealed that Eva is "spoiled for choice" when it comes to the men on the cobbles.
"As an actress, I'd like to see Eva get back together with Jason and, as a viewer, I'd like that, too, because they just work. They're very sweet together and there are still a lot of feelings there; she still loves Jason and I think that's reciprocated," Tyldesley told the Daily Star Sunday.
"They're kindred spirits, so I'd say, "Watch this space." But I'm spoilt for choice! After Eva finds out that Jason slept with Alya, she thinks, "Well, I love Jason more than he loves me and this Aidan guy is pretty fit".
"So when Aidan interviews her for a job as a machinist at the factory, she starts flirting with him – and not just because she wants her old job back."
Her temporary exit for Eva aired in February, as she decided to leave the cobbles for a while after Jason mistakenly accused her of an affair with his father Tony Stewart.
Jason has since discovered that his half-brother Todd was responsible for tricking him into his suspicions.
Tyldesley and her fiancé Tom Pitfield became parents for the first time when she gave birth to a baby boy Alfie in March.

Eva should go back working in the pub if Liz and Steve would hire her back
I am sure it won´t be long before she is back behind the bar ... the amount of time Sarah needs to have off these days, they will need her :)Quote:

Sarah is a perfect replacement for Tina in terms of the amount of breaks they have.
She helped with the food preparation, not sure it was not just for that event though but you might be right, she might have got a job on a permanent basis :)Quote:

In this day and age how come everyone in Corrie works in or around Coronation Street and everyone in Eastenders works in or around Albert Square? And their job searches when they are out of work only extend to jobs within 2 minutes walking distance of their home?Quote:

Coronation Street Christmas 2015 – Catherine Tyldesley on Eva’s new romance
Sparks will fly on the cobbles this festive season and Coronation Street’s Eva Price gets up close and personal with Aidan Connor.
The pair will see in the new year with a kiss followed by a passionate sex session, but not all is as it seems and Eva could have her heart broken early in 2016.
Here Catherine Tyldesley, who plays Eva, reveals what’s in store for her character…
Is Eva ready for another relationship? Eva does like to have someone in her life but I don’t think she has been actively looking for a relationship,she has enjoyed flirting with Aidan and things just progress really.
Does she ever think about getting back with Jason? She will always have feelings for Jason – he is a genuinely nice guy and she knows that but he hurt her and after what she has been through with guys in the past she won’t settle for someone who messed her around.
What kind of qualities is she looking for in a man? She wants someone who treats her well, trusts her, makes her laugh and can look after her.
What does she like about Aidan? Well he is very easy on the eye! He is a successful businessman and he gets her, he likes women and he knows how to make them feel special.
Is he her usual type? She doesn’t have a type as such, her previous men include Jason and Nick, but she is not a pushover either, she needs to feel a connection with someone before letting it go any further.
Does she worry that things could get complicated with him being her boss, or is that part of the fun? I think he might be more concerned about that than her, or rather his family might see it as an issue but she quite likes the idea of dating the boss.
Was she jealous when he went on a date with Sarah? Not really, there was nothing between them at that stage just a bit of banter but it maybe did make her realise she might be more interested in him than she thought
Is his playing hard to get making her more interested? Well it always make things a bit more interesting and Eva likes a challenge.
She finds him alone on the anniversary of his mum’s death – does him confiding in her bring them closer? There is a connection between them which grows because she helps him through the whole situation regarding finding out about Carla being his half sister. Eva tells him that she went through the same thing when she found out Leanne was her sister and at first she was really angry and couldn’t deal with it but now they are very close and it is one of the best things that has happened to her.
What’s going on between them prior to New Year’s Eve? Just lots of flirting really, it is clear they fancy each other and then at the New Year’s Eve party they end up snogging the face off each other for the whole night. The scene took an hour and half to film and we are in the back of shot for the whole time so we basically had to snog for an hour and a half. Poor Shayne, I was wearing bright red lipstick which ended up all over him!
Have Eva’s friends said anything to her about the chemistry between them? I don’t think anyone is surprised. Leanne is not surprised when she finds out he has stayed the night at the flat. I think people would like to see Eva happy, we have had a great response from fans on social media who seem to like the idea of Eva and Aidan as a couple.
How does Eva find out about Kate and Aidan’s bet? Kate comes into the pub and tells Aidan he owes her a drink as she had bet him he would sleep with Eva – Eva is furious and throws the drink over his head!! It isn’t the best start to the relationship!
Do you think Aidan would be good for her?We have filmed into the New Year and they seem to be developing them as a couple. He does seem to bring the best out in her, he thinks she is bonkers but he also sees a more serious, intelligent side to her. We have got a more serious storyline coming up so you will see a different side to Eva.
How are you finding being back at Corrie? I absolutely love it. I did miss it whilst I was away but obviously I love being a mum too. I am so lucky to be able to do a job I love and make it work around being a mum too. I still pinch myself sometimes when I am in a Rovers scene!
How is working with Shayne? Shayne is such fun to work with, we really get on well and he makes me laugh. We are also singing together, doing a duet on the Abba Christmas Party on ITV on Christmas Eve, we are currently rehearsing all the time driving everyone mad!
What do you hope 2016 will hold for Eva?More drama, some happiness, lots of great storylines. I do know about one she is involved in and it is something quite different, I am really looking forward to starting work on it.
Eva Price is on a mission to rescue slave Marta from the clutches of the sinister O’Driscolls – but she ends up biting off way more than she can chew when she finds herself in serious danger.
When Aidan heads round to the house to talk business with Richie, he is put off by his and Julia’s suspicious behaviour and is concerned to notice that one of the bedroom doors is locked from the outside.
When he reports back to Eva, she is certain that Marta is behind the door and she and her friend Billy Mayhew prepare to head in and rescue her.
Aidan begs them to wait until the couple have paid their invoice but as Eva and Billy stake out the O’Driscoll home, they are unable to resist the opportunity to head in when Julia and Richie go out.
While Julia and Richie are heading to Underworld to actually increase their order, Eva and Billy break in and head in search of Marta. They find her cowering in terror and are in the process of rescuing her when the criminal couple return home.
Having tried to call Eva to warn her that the O’Driscolls are on their way back, Aidan is beside himself and heads out fearing for her safety.
Noticing the break in, a furious Richie goes on the attack when he comes across Eva and Billy helping Marta. As Billy starts to call the police, Richie throws his phone out of his hands and violently pins a scared Eva against a wall.
But as things turn dangerous, Aidan bursts in and punches Richie to the ground meaning that the game is finally up for the O’Driscolls.
Terrified of going to prison, Richie begs Aidan to keep the police out of it and offers to pay for Marta’s return to Poland in exchange.
What decision will the heroic trio make as they hold Richie’s fate in their hands?

Obviously they report him as she will not be safe in Poland as his wife will see to that. What happens to underworld after that who knows
Coronation Street's Catherine Tyldesley is staying with the show for another year
Catherine Tyldesley is set to stay for another year on Coronation Street.
According to The Sun on Sunday, the actress has reportedly landed a six-figure contract to stay on the cobbles, despite hinting last month that she might pursue other projects.
Her character Eva Price is currently in an on-off relationship with Aidan Connor, played by Shayne Ward, and is involved in the current slavery storyline after Eva found a mystery woman living at the factory.
Tyldesley returned to filming last July after giving birth to her son Alfie in March, and recently revealed that she's been too busy with filming to plan her wedding to her partner Thomas Pitfield.
Earlier this month, she spoke about the amount of research that the cast did for the current slavery storyline.
"It's something that's very real," Tyldesley explained. "I'm working with a charity called Hope For Justice… and they estimate that there's 20 million people worldwide in some form… who have been victims of human trafficking in some way."
It's really not a good day for Coronation Street, with the show now facing an official investigation over a racially offensive line.
Corrie sparked a backlash from fans last month after Catherine Tyldesley's character Eva Price made a joke about Kunta Kinte, the main character in the 1976 civil rights novel Roots.
We already knew that broadcasting regulator Ofcom were assessing viewer complaints over the issue, but it's been confirmed today (September 26) that a formal investigation will now be launched.
Although an Ofcom investigation doesn't necessarily mean that a programme has done anything wrong, the probe follows 472 complaints from unhappy viewers.
An Ofcom spokesperson told Digital Spy: "We're investigating whether a comment made by a character in Coronation Street was offensive and breached generally accepted standards."
A Coronation Street spokesperson also told us: "We will be responding to the regulator in due course."
The episode, which aired on August 29, saw Eva pay a visit to Audrey Roberts's salon and complain about her hair.
"I have more roots than Kunta Kinte," she said. "No idea who that is, by the way, just something my mum used to say."
It's thought that most of the complaints came from viewers who felt Eva's comment belittled the seriousness of the subject matter of Roots, which tells the story of a slave.
Alex Haley, the author of Roots, said that the character of Kunta Kinte was based on the real-life story of one of his ancestors. The story has also been adapted on television, most recently on the History Channel in the US this year.
Coronation Street previously issued an apology over the row, saying: "We apologise if this dialogue has caused offence."
With this and Marc Anwar's shock sacking, who says all the Corrie drama has to take place on screen?
Digital Spy
Since the joke about Kunta Kinte was a play on words about the title of the book in which he features and not a joke about race or slavery, I don't think it was racist (although as a white person I accept I'm not the best person to make that judgement and am happy to stand corrected).
However, at best it was a brainless remark made by a vacuous character about a very emotive and politically sensitive subject so I'd say it showed a lack of judgement to have included it.
I do not t think it was racist either although I was surprised when I heard it.
alot of people are saying it's not racist. All i have to say on the matter is that people have to understand that we don't have right to tell people who were offended by it that they shouldn't be or that they're being overly sensitive, especially when those of them have family who were slaves. im not slamming anyone, im just putting it out there. no hate
Agree it was an unnecessary comment and Ill thought off when we know people may be sensitive to it.
I'm not sure why you felt you needed to post that rather pointed remark since no-one here has said otherwise.Quote:

However, nobody here has said or even hinted at anything so crass. Pointedly starting your post with "a lot of people are saying it's not racist" is directing it at those of us who said that on this site. Firstly, I qualified my opinion by saying I may not be the best person to make the judgement that it wasn't racist, and secondly I admitted it's an emotive and politically sensitive subject. Thirdly, I'd like to point out that while I'm white, my daughter and granddaughter have black/slave ancestry, so I'm sensitive to racism because it directly affects them.
Lastly, by qualifying your post with "im not slamming anyone, im just putting it out there. no hate" you're admitting that your words could be seen as doing just that!
Let's see what the outcome of the complaint will be and leave it at that for now
I'm happy to let Ofcom make the decision about whether the joke was racist or not, but I'll continue to defend myself if I feel it necessary.Quote:

So why am i saying it here instead of social media you may ask? well on fb nowdays i cant seem to make comments on anything serious without being trolled and made to feel stupid. its honestly something ive thought about for years and happens to relate to this topic for obvious reasons. i know how silly it is to be too anxious about making a comment on social media but i just need to learn to to care less about critisism especially when im talking about something i passionatly believe. and in regard to saying im not hatingbon ajyone here or slamming anyone on here. well i seem to say that alot when stating an opinion. its anxiety related i suppose.Quote:

"I'm getting scripts and my toes are curling. It's getting so cringeworthy," Catherine said on This Morning today (September 28).
"Eva lost Kylie [Platt] and she was her best friend and she's sort of hoping for that with Maria now, all the while not knowing what's gone on between Maria and Aidan."
And when asked if she has filmed the scenes where Eva learns the truth yet, Cath said: "No, I can't wait. It's a slow burner. It'll probably be in the New Year and it goes right through into the spring."
We can't wait, either! I can wait if it improves the script :D
