Eva Price star Catherine Tyldesley has dyed her hair blonde ahead of her return to Coronation Street, in a major comeback storyline for the character after seven years17:21, 05 Aug 2025The star is rumoured to return to the soapCatherine Tyldesley has transformed her hair colour ahead of her highly anticipated Coronation Street comeback.The 41-year-old actress is poised to make a dramatic return to the ITV soap, reprising her iconic role as Eva Price seven years after her departure.Throughout her original time on the cobbles, Eva was known for her striking platinum blonde tresses, but following her exit from the soap, Catherine swiftly reverted to her natural brunette shade whilst appearing on Strictly Come Dancing. She maintained the darker hue for subsequent roles in programmes including Scarborough and Viewpoint, but a Tuesday Instagram post revealed she’s once again embraced her blonde persona.The actress posted two photographs of herself with pals during a Manchester dinner outing, and The Sun reports this social gathering occurred just days before she’s due back on set at MediaCityUK to commence filming. Catherine, who originally sported brunette hair when she landed her breakthrough role in BBC drama Lilies before joining Coronation Street, has previously revealed that producers believed barmaid Eva should have blonde locks.Catherine showed off her freshly-dyed locks as she went out for dinner with friends close to where the ITV soap is filmed(Image: auntiecath17/instagram)During a 2019 Lorraine interview, she recalled: “When I first started Corrie I’d done a sketch show and was blonde. They felt Eva was blonde and so did I. I keep walking past windows and mirror and think ‘Oh!’ and forget I’ve done it. A lady came up to me and said I think you should be blonde,” reports the Mirror.Over a span of seven years, Catherine navigated her character through a series of relationships with characters such as Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas), Rob Donovan (Marc Baylis) and Nick Tilsey (Ben Price). Her most significant relationship was with Aidan Connor (Shayne Ward), which began to unravel when he started an affair with Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon).Catherine is naturally brunette and went back to her original look shortly after she quit Coronation Street in 2018(Image: PA)Rather than confronting Aidan about his infidelity, she exacted revenge by purchasing a bright pink Range Rover on his credit card and then faked a pregnancy. Maria uncovered Eva’s deception and revealed it at their wedding, but Eva later found out that she was indeed pregnant with Aidan’s child.To secretly give birth, she retreated to a secluded cottage and planned to hand baby Susie over to Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor). However, following Aidan’s suicide, Eva developed a bond with her daughter and ultimately chose to leave for good in a taxi with her.Catherine Tyldesley is said to be making a return to Coronation Street and has gone back to blonde ahead of filming(Image: ITV)Should Eva make a comeback and take the reins at the Rovers, she’ll be following in the illustrious footsteps of past characters like Annie Walker (Doris Speed), Bet Lynch (Julie Goodyear) and Liz McDonald (Beverley Callard), all of whom have presided over the nation’s favourite pub throughout the show’s run. One such landlady is Jenny Connor, who is set to bid farewell to the ITV soap.Article continues belowHave you joined Threads?

Coronation Street’s Abi Webster star Sally Carman-Duttine insisted she had bittersweet feelings about a huge new role in her and her husband Joe Duttine’s family life15:28, 05 Aug 2025Updated 15:31, 05 Aug 2025Joe Duttine and Sally Carman-Duttine have become grandparents (Image: Jeff Spicer, Getty Images)Coronation Street actress Sally Carman-Duttine has opened up about a touching development in her personal life, alongside husband Joe Duttine. The couple, who got together through starring alongside each other in the ITV soap, exchanged vows in 2022 following a three-year romance.Since saying “I do”, Sally, 50, has embraced her new position as an official stepmum to Joe’s three children from a previous relationship.When asked about navigating such duties, the actress said things had “worked out great” and insisted she loved Joe’s “gorgeous and brilliant” children.In a further admission, Sally said the pair had recently become grandparents.”Joe’s older daughter lives in Australia and she has a little baby boy, so we’re now grandparents,” she shared.”It’s something I didn’t think was going to happen and suddenly I’ve got this gorgeous family.”Coronation Street stars Joe Duttine and Sally Carman-Duttine married in 2022(Image: INSTAGRAM/SALLYCARMAN-DUTTINE)While she adores her stepmother role, Sally confessed to being less enthusiastic about being dubbed a grandmother at 50, and has opted for an alternative moniker instead.”It’s really lovely and I feel very lucky. Although at 50 I’m not happy with the title of grandma,” she told Yours Magazine. “So instead, I’m called Moo.”Sally stepped into the shoes of Abi Webster in 2017, while Joe has portrayed two different characters on Coronation Street, Detective Sergeant Carr, and currently Tim Metcalfe.Despite the potential challenges of mixing marriage with their professional commitments, Sally disclosed the boundary they’ve established while filming.”We stay away from each other as much as possible,” she revealed to The Mirror. “We barely have any scenes together which is exactly the way I want it!”.In stark contrast to her real-life situation, Sally’s character finds herself embroiled in dramatic romantic entanglements on-screen.(Image: ITV)Viewers have recently watched Abi betray her husband Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) by embarking on an affair with his brother Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard).The relationship began after Abi uncovered Kevin’s deception about his cancer diagnosis.When the truth emerged, she turned to Carl for solace, which resulted in a steamy kiss between the pair.Speaking about her current plot, the actress said that while she “can’t justify” Abi’s actions, she understands her motivations.”She’s had her head turned by this younger, more exciting, very attractive man. Things with Kevin have been pretty mundane and bleak because of his illness, so this is a real shot in the arm,” she explained.The star went on to brand her character as “selfish” and “naïve”, and confessed that Abi’s decisions often leave her “scratching [her] head”.Sally also revealed that viewers have confronted her about her character’s choices, adding: “Anything that gets a reaction is good, because it means they’re engaged, so whether it’s pleasant or not, it doesn’t bother me.”Article continues belowCoronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV and ITVX.
