Eva Price left Coronation Street in 2018 because the actress playing her, Catherine Tyldesley, chose to pursue new opportunities and a different pace in her career. The character’s exit saw Eva moving away from Weatherfield to start a new life, including revelations about her pregnancy with Aidan Connor’s baby and a desire to distance herself from family turmoil surrounding the ongoing drama. Tyldesley later discussed that leaving at that time felt right for her personal and professional reasons, even though Eva’s storyline continued to have occasional fresh appearances in subsequent years.
