Exactly and with characters you would not want in the centre for that long. Hopefully today Sharf will have done a runner
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.
Digital Spy
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:

Unfortunately, since Corrie pays little attention to reality any longer, I'm beginning to think you could be right.Quote:

* Though I have my suspicions about that.
well toyah warned eva so when truth comes out she is a fool helping aidan and maria and she will rebound with adam
Why is Eva always envious of others peoples happiness?
I don´t think she is ... but she knows Jenny is not the right one for Johnny so is not happy about their relationship having started againQuote:

The smug look on her face after she told eva aiden is cheating with alya, she wasn't being a concerned friend she was being a spiteful bitch. Im going to be so peed off if she gets promoted at the factory. I wad never a super fan of carla like so many others but it's times like these I wish she would come back
But her relationship is not right and her and Aidan are obviously not right for each other either. I know she does not know that yet but Jenny does. Agree jenny is twisted and Johnny will suffer. If you are not happy with someones relationship but they decide to be with someone regardless you do not scowl all the time its immature.
But from Eva's perspective, Jenny told her that her bf was cheating on her with alya. After embarrassing herself by confronting them, of course then she's not going to be happy for the woman when she gets engaged. To her this woman tried to break up her relationship for no reason.
Well she will soon find out the truth. Noone deserves to have Aidan as a boyfriend
Well except maybe maria. Then hopefully he'll cheat on her tooQuote:

Coronation Street is lining up a long and explosive revenge storyline for Eva Price after she discovers the truth about Aidan and Maria's affair.
Aidan (Shayne Ward) has recently reignited his scandalous affair with Maria, despite the fact that he's in a relationship with her friend Eva.
Aidan has always made it clear that he doesn't intend to leave Eva for Maria, but recent pictures have hinted that the decision could be taken out of his hands when the cheating businessman is caught out by Leanne Battersby.
Sure enough, it's been confirmed that Eva is about to discover the truth about Aidan's betrayal, but it's what happens next that will keep fans on their edge of their seats.
Speaking at a Coronation Street press event today (May 26), show boss Kate Oates said: "The Aidan and Maria story is getting very delicious.
"Eva is about to find out the truth and how she responds to that is very Eva the Diva-ish. There is possibly a long plan of revenge for her."
Catherine Tyldesley previously teased that the storyline – which initially kicked off last year – would run all the way through to the spring, hinting at some explosive scenes when the truth finally comes out.

If you are going to propose to a guy and want it to be meaningful you do that do it dressed like that.
is aidan really going to be a dad with eva or is it part of her revenge lying she up duffy
Coronation Street's Eva Price discovers that she's pregnant next week, but there's no time for celebration as the surprise baby news coincides with the big reveal of Aidan and Maria's affair.
Eva is stunned to realise just how badly she's been betrayed by her boyfriend and former friend, but rather than confront them straight away, she keeps quiet and doesn't say a thing – setting the stage for a huge revenge plot which will run over the summer.
Digital Spy and other media recently paid a visit to the Corrie set to hear Catherine Tyldesley, who plays Eva, reveal all the early gossip on this storyline.
How does Eva react to Aidan and Maria's betrayal?
"It's quite extreme and she very much reverts back to 'Eva the diva', which is great because when I first came into Coronation Street, she was very much of that ilk. It's nice to see her come back to that and see her feisty side. For me as an actress, it's brilliant to play some really juicy stuff."
Is Eva upset or angry?
"Both! She's always mentioned about 'the girl rule' in the past. She's had several moments where she's spoken about that – don't go with somebody else's boyfriend or ex-boyfriend. So the fact that Maria – who had become her best friend after losing Kylie – has done this to her, is a massive no-no."
Does Eva feel silly, as she did always trust Aidan and Maria together?
"Yes, massively. She can be quite naive and she does like to see the good in people, but she does have trust issues because every boyfriend she's ever had has cheated on her and her own father walked out on her when she was a toddler. So the bunny boiler gene has been lying dormant for a while, but it's back with a vengeance."
In the past, Eva might have gone crying to her mum. Is her reaction quite different now Stella has gone?
"We see a change of character, really. When Stella was here, she was quite dependent. You do revert to being a child when you're living with your parents sometimes and she probably would have crumbled.
"So we see a massive change of character. She's been quite sweet and loved-up for a while, but this is it now. She came close to losing it when Jason accused her of cheating, but this is another level."
How did it feel when you read the first scripts for Eva's revenge?
"I was really pleased, but I was literally so scared to turn every page. I was like: 'Oh my God, what is she doing?' She's just so extreme in her response. I loved it and I couldn't put it down. With the scripts I'm getting at the moment, I feel so honoured and grateful that they're giving me these storylines."
Would you have preferred Eva to have taken action straight away after uncovering the affair, rather than keeping quiet?
"No, this is way better. It's a revenge plot and she wants to hurt Aidan as much as she is hurting. What she's about to do is the best way of doing that, in her own head."
What is Eva's end goal?
"She wants to see Aidan with nothing. She thought he was her Prince Charming and she's given herself to him completely, and then he's done this. So she will stop at nothing to make sure he is deeply, deeply hurt."
To make matters even more complicated, there's a surprise pregnancy in the mix!
"Yes, Eva finds out she's pregnant, so this makes things ten times worse. If she'd found out she was pregnant a week previous, it would have been all she'd ever wanted. That was her goal – to meet a Prince Charming, settle down and have a family, but now she's discovered this, it's even more heartbreaking. She can't even begin to get her head round the fact that she's pregnant."
Does part of Eva think things can get back to normal?
"It's there within her and I can see it in the way they're writing for her. She's completely torn. It's because she is sweet natured – yes she does have a feisty side, but when she's doing all of these things to get her revenge on Aidan, you just keep seeing flickers of pangs.
"There are certain things Aidan says and she looks at him and she kind of feels the same way she always felt, but then she'll remember what's happening and she thinks: 'I can't do this'. I really feel for her – she's in a horrendous position because she does still love him."
Adam Barlow also gets involved in Eva's revenge, doesn't he?
"Yes and it's been nice working with Sam [Robertson, who plays Adam] because we hadn't had much together and he's brilliant. He really dislikes Aidan, so he says to Eva: 'If we screw him over together, we might get more than you would on your own'. Eva is really reluctant, but he's quite charming and manages to twist her arm."
Even though Eva is plotting, could we still see a wedding for her and Aidan?
"I couldn't possibly say at this time. But I'd love a big Corrie wedding – I've always said that."
If Eva was your mate, what advice would you give her?
"If she'd come to me and revealed the revenge plan she has in her head, I'd have told her not to do it. I'd probably have said: 'Just walk away, have an amazing life and show him what an amazing person you are and what he's missing'. But the things she's doing, I'd have advised her not to do. They've just got 'backfire' written all over them.
"Eva wants to take Aidan for everything he's got. She just wants him to really, really hurt. When I get the scripts, I'm just cringing at it all. It's wonderful, it's brilliantly written and it's very Eva."
There must be occasions where Eva just wants to blurt it all out to Aidan?
"Yes, totally! She's on the verge of a panic attack in most scenes, because she has to keep her cool and lie the whole time. Obviously it's really awkward because Aidan is completely unaware. He still wants to go in for a kiss and be intimate and it's just making her feel sick. But it's great to play as an actress. Eva has got quite a good poker face!"
Could Maria be targeted by Eva too?
"At the moment, it's more Aidan. Because Eva is pregnant as well, that's making things ten times worse and she's more angry. But there are always lots of little opportunities to hurt Maria and she will take them. There's some great stuff coming up."
Would you like us to ever meet Eva's dad?
"He walked out when she was three. She's spoken about that in previous episodes, saying he just packed his bags and went. That's something I've always thought I'd love Corrie to do, to bring him in. So I hope they do bring in Eva's dad, because he has a lot to answer for. There were few details about why he walked out, as Stella said very little about it."
Would you like to see Stella back?
"I'd love that! It'd be great if Michelle Collins and Sue Johnston both came back as Stella and Gloria. I loved working with them so much."
If Eva decides to try taking over the business as part of her revenge, how do you think she'd cope running Underworld?
"I think she'd probably make a pig's ear of it! I think she'd need help, although she'd have great ideas. It would probably go more down the Ann Summers route. If she took over Underworld, it would go down a much saucier road."
Would you like Eva to have more ambition for herself now?
"Yeah, because she's never really had that. Her focus in life has always been having a boyfriend, so it would be really nice for her to find something to be passionate about. So maybe something like Underworld. We've not seen that side of Eva. I've always thought she'd be great at mobile spray tanning, that sort of thing. She needs to find an outlet."
Will Eva be less obsessed with boyfriends now?
"She's always had that father figure issue and felt that something's been missing, so she's always wanted a man in her life. That is part of the reason she's been so bad at relationships. I think it terrifies her, the thought of being on her own. But I do think this will make her stronger."
Digital Spy
Not keen on these revenge storylines at all. Eva proposed to the guy after all. Why so desperate to marry him? Hope she does become stronger though.
Eva goes and buys a brand new pink Range Rover on Aidan's credit card after she finds out about the affair ... Go Eva!!! :cheer::cool:

Coronation Street fans can get their very first look at Eva Price's dramatic revenge plans in this exciting new trailer.
Eva is left devastated this week as she discovers that her love rat fiancé Aidan Connor has been cheating on her with Maria.
Corrie's brand new teaser shows a distraught Eva confiding in her sister Leanne about her discovery, vowing to take Aidan for every penny she can get.
https://youtu.be/ZLZVh9qFZxA
This paves the way for a major storyline airing over the summer, as Eva tries her best to carry on as normal around Aidan while secretly plotting against him.
Catherine Tyldesley, who plays Eva, recently revealed: "She wants to see Aidan with nothing. She thought he was her Prince Charming and she's given herself to him completely, and then he's done this.
"So she will stop at nothing to make sure he is deeply, deeply hurt."
Shayne Ward, who plays Aidan, also told us: "It's been so well thought out. It's mental and I really want to tell everyone! All I'd say for now is that Aidan shouldn't have done this. Eva will stop at nothing to get her revenge.
"Aidan finds himself in a place now where Eva's pregnant, so he's going to stay with her. That kind of shuts the door on him and Maria. Or does it? I think Aidan is going to end up quite a lonely person, because something's going to happen.
"It's healthy to mix things up. I've been here for two years now and you don't always want your character to be on top, in terms of being a successful businessman, or being in love and having everything. He needs a knock and he needs to be brought down a few pegs."
Digital Spy
She was great in the last episodes
I've always been a fan of Eva. I think she's always been funny and strong enough. It's just that because she's always so kind and friendly and a bit too trusting +also very pretty, she ends up heartbroken all the time. I really don't want to see her to change bitter or cold or bitchy. I just want her to get her revenge and get back to herself again, with a good lesson in her sleeve though.
she always too good for aidan
some papers today claiming she leaving next year
But she denied it on twitter, saying she has just signed another contract for a yearQuote:

Does anyone think she may sleep with Adam and then really end up pregnant so another whose the daddy storyline which soaps just love doing
I could not understand how Eva was one moment begging for forgiveness and the next throwing Aiden out of the flat she conned him out of! Also if you are asking for forgiveness (sincerely) does it not go this way - a) say you're sorry, b) makes amends, c) never do it again. She should have gone straight to the police to ensure that the insurance claim was processed ASAP and her neighbours could go back to work. She is not acting as if she sorry in the slightest, all hot air!
