And she is not alone, being joined by her latest partner and his mother, who are both new to the cobbles. The ITV soap shared the news on its social media, with fans loving the two new stars joining the show. A post shared by Coronation Street (@coronationstreet) Shameless actor Aaron McCusker will be starring as Eva's partner Ben Driscoll. The Irish actor also played Jim Hutton, Freddie Mercury's boyfriend, in the 2018 Oscar-winning film Bohemian Rhapsody. Ben's mother, Maggie, will be portrayed by Father Ted's Pauline McLynn.

Read more here: Coronation Street producer Kate Brooks said: '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. "To have actors of Catherine, Aaron and Pauline's considerable calibre at the beating heart of this family is absolutely wonderful, and we can't wait for you to get to know and fall in love with them as much as we have already done. 'Strap yourselves in, it's going to be an exciting and eventful ride.'

In 2017, as payback for Aidan's affair with Maria Connor, Eva faked a pregnancy. Despite later forgiving Aidan in time for their planned wedding, he did not reciprocate and they split up. Eva later discovered she was pregnant with Aidan's child for real and gave birth to her daughter, Susie. Recommended reading: As she didn't want the baby, Eva struck a deal with Toyah Battersby to pass her off as hers and Peter Barlow's child instead. However, Toyah went back on the agreement after Susie was born after seeing how much it was hurting Eva to be separated from her baby. Eva then moved to France to live with Stella.

Major Hollyoaks death as another character is killed by Jez in mammoth exit
Hollyoaks spoilers follow for Wednesday's (August 5) episode that is now available to view on Channel 4 streaming. The episode in question will air on E4 on at 7pm. Jez Blake (Jeremy Sheffield) has struck again, with a huge twist seeing Robbie Roscoe (Charlie Wernham) become his latest victim. Robbie, as viewers know, was held captive by Grace Black (Tamara Wall) for months after the gangster came to believe that her brother-in-law was an informant working for the police. He was subsequently freed from captivity and resolved to leave the village, bidding farewell to his loved ones – but it was soon revealed that, despite his apparent departure, he'd been taken prisoner by Jez, who held him captive in the shed. Jez has been using Robbie as a therapist of sorts, confiding his deepest, darkest secrets in the former nightclub owner. Despite his refusal to set Robbie free, the deranged gardener ultimately decided that he wanted to be a better person after chat with Sienna (Anna Passey) and thus he allowed Robbie to walk, believing he'd have a chance to reunite with Vicky Grant (Anya Lawrence), who had been trying to get in touch with Robbie. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Robbie made a beeline to the village in search of Vicky and upon setting his sights on her, he walked into her line of sight. Vicky, however, could not see him and, in a bone-chilling twist, she walked through Robbie, who subsequently vanished. Much like viewers had suspected, Robbie was simply a figment of Jez's imagination, with a twisted flashback confirming that the Roscoe had been murdered by Jez shortly after his capture. Sienna, meanwhile, had been given reason to suspect that there was more to Jez's lies than meets the eye and, after being tipped off by an unsuspecting Dodger Savage (Danny Mac) about Dilly's (Emma Johnsey-Smith) alleged role in the murder of Ian Stone, she made it her mission to dig up the truth.

In high-octane scenes, helmed by a superb performance from star Anna Passey, Sienna's entire world imploded as she uncovered Jez's secrets, realising that he was to blame for the deaths of Bobby Costello (Zak Sutcliffe) and Robbie Roscoe. The former high school teacher sobbed her heart out as she came to realise that her newfound dad was an evil serial killer. The question is: can she bring him to justice? And will word of Robbie's murder reach the village? Fans had suspected that there was more to Robbie's incarceration at Jez's hands than meets the eye when the former Loft owner appeared rather unfazed by his kidnapping – especially given how much his previous captivity ordeal impacted his mental health. More Trending What's more, there was also the fact that Robbie was seemingly left unattended in the allotment shed for weeks while Jez jetted off on holiday – and his failure to call for help when various characters explored the allotment during Jez's absence. The flashback in Wednesday's episode appears to indicate that Robbie was long dead by the time the aforementioned scenes unfolded, meaning that Jez has been hallucinating this whole time.

The following article contains spoilers from an episode of Emmerdale that hasn't aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX. Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) has revealed some heartbreaking news to Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) in Emmerdale.

Charity has agreed to carry their baby, but Sarah and Jacob's attempt at looking out for her has felt quite smothering. In this evening's episode, wanting some time to herself, Charity suggested that Jacob and Sarah organise an engagement party in the pub. As prep began, Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) kept checking in on Charity. Yesterday, the couple went for a walk but Charity fell over, which caused Mack to wonder if the recent embryo transfer would be impacted. Charity felt fine, but things quickly changed as the party got underway. Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) spied Charity looking worried and followed her into the toilets. There, Charity confirmed that she had started bleeding. Charity kept this a secret from Sarah until the end of the party. Once Sarah returned to Jacobs Fold, Charity told her the news, and that she doesn't think the embryo has taken.
