Coronation Street’s Eva and Aidan’s wedding drama escalates with confessions and fights

The big six episodes a week starts right here

| Updated:

Coronation Street has promised HUGE wedding shocks as Eva Price prepares to marry Aidan Connor.

But with the bride planning to expose her groom’s affair with bridesmaid Maria at the altar, a fight soon breaks out, putting the pair’s lives in danger.

Eva’s revenge plan is already going a bit wrong when Maria announces she can’t attend the wedding because her son, Liam, is poorly.

Without the lady in question there, it sort of takes the shine off the whole plot, but Eva tries not to let it bother her.

However, then Aidan turns up on the morning of the wedding and confesses everything!

After spending the night together before the wedding, Eva’s feeling a little bit confused, especially as her groom has told her how much he loves her and can’t wait to marry her.

But Aidan knows there’s one thing he has to do before he can get hitched. Catherine Tyldesley, who plays Eva, revealed to Inside Soap:

“That morning he says to her: ‘I love you so much, but I cannot walk down the aisle with this in my heart’. And he confesses what he’s done.”

Eva’s completely torn – all of her plans are about to come crashing down and she isn’t even sure she wants to go through with it anyway.

As the guests start arriving at the venue, someone else who’s not supposed to be there turns up: Maria!

She’s lurking behind the scenes, dressed casually in shorts and a t-shirt, so when Toyah, who’s in on Eva’s plot, spots Maria skulking around, she senses trouble.

Taking action, Toyah locks Maria in the bathroom to stop her causing a scene. There’s no love lost between these two anyway, so it gives Toyah huge satisfaction to sort Maria out.

With Aidan unsure whether Eva’s even going to turn up after his confession, he’s relieved when his bride arrives and walks down the aisle.

But is she there to marry him or is she there to humiliate him?

As proceedings get underway, Maria has managed to escape from the loo and is making her way inside.

“She’s all guns blazing,” Catherine adds. “What happens next is fantastic and I think the viewers will be gobsmacked…”

After new truths come to light, Eva chases Maria out of the ceremony and the girls end up having a fight in a fountain!

Speaking at a recent press event, Catherine revealed to Metro.co.uk: “We were in there for two and a half hours but the water was heated so in between takes, it was like a jacuzzi – we were sitting in there with cans of Coke and everything!

“It took a long time though, we were pretty knackered after that fight!”

But it’s not the water fight that puts Eva in huge danger, it’s the stunt that Catherine hinted at next that sees things take a terrifying turn.

She explained: “I’m very high up at one point.

“I am terrified of heights so that was a real challenge for me – especially when a wasp came. Everyone else thought it was hilarious, but I had a breakdown.

“They are the most challenging scenes I have ever shot. It’s very action packed.”

Will Eva survive her wedding day? Is her wet dress a bad sign (we all remember what happened to EastEnders Ronnie and Roxy now, don’t we?!)?

Is Eva set to lose everything – including her life?
