Heartbreaking news has left Coronation Street fans across the globe in mourning, following reports that beloved actress Catherine Tyldesley, known to millions as Eva Price, has tragically passed away — just hours after sharing her excitement about returning to the ITV soap. The news has stunned viewers, especially as the talented actress had recently spoken with such enthusiasm about reprising her role and the major developments happening behind the scenes.

Before this devastating turn of events, Tyldesley had been preparing for one of Corrie’s biggest upcoming transformations. She was set to make her grand return to Weatherfield, joining a brand-new family taking over the Rovers Return Inn after Jenny Bradley’s exit. Fans were overjoyed to hear Eva Price was coming home — but her passing has now cast a dark shadow over the much-anticipated storyline.

In her final interview, Catherine spoke passionately about the creative vision of Coronation Street’s current producer, Kate Brooks, and the “classic Corrie magic” being revived. “Kate is such a huge fan of the show,” Tyldesley told The Mirror. “You can really feel her passion in every episode. It feels like the old-school Corrie again, and that’s so important to everyone who loves the show.”

She went on to describe her excitement about the scripts and the bold new direction the writers were taking. “Every script I get, I find myself gasping — ‘Oh my God, can you believe they’re doing this?’ And it works! The team is bringing so much that we haven’t seen before, yet it still feels true to Coronation Street’s heart.”

Fans had also been buzzing about another massive event that Tyldesley was involved in — the historic crossover between Coronation Street and Emmerdale, dubbed CorrieDale. The episode, which has already begun filming, was expected to air in early 2026 and would see iconic characters from both soaps share the screen for the first time ever.

Catherine called it “dead exciting,” adding, “I can just imagine my mum watching this — she’s going to be beside herself! As a lifelong soap fan, the idea of seeing your favorite characters from both shows together in one massive piece of television… it’s just amazing.”

The first confirmed crossover scenes will feature Corrie’s DI Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) and Emmerdale’s Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller), with Catherine’s Eva set to play a key role in uniting the two worlds. Sadly, the actress’s death means those plans may now be rewritten, leaving fans heartbroken over what might have been.

Viewers have flooded social media with tributes, praising Tyldesley’s warmth, humor, and unforgettable presence on screen. “She brought so much heart to Corrie,” one fan wrote. “There will never be another Eva Price.”

As ITV and Coronation Street cast members pay tribute to their fallen colleague, the loss of Catherine Tyldesley marks the end of an era for the beloved soap. Her passion, charm, and laughter will never be forgotten — both on and off the cobbles.
