Catherine Tyldesley pays sweets tribute to Corrie as she exits

She also teased a little extra surprise

Coronation Street actress Catherine Tyldesley has thanked the ITV soap’s cast and crew as her character Eva Price exits from Weatherfield.

Eva bid farewell to the cobbles following a turbulent time for the Rovers Return barmaid, which saw her former partner Aidan Connor (Shayne Ward) taking his own life and her baby, Susie, being kidnapped.

In December 2017 it was announced that Cath, 34, would be be leaving Coronation Street to pursue other acting opportunities and spend more time with her family.

In a post on her Instagram profile the actress shared a photo of a scene from the show where Eva is cradling Susie. Eva appears to be about to hand her daughter over to Aidan’s sister Kate Connor (Faye Brookes).

In a caption by the picture Cath wrote: “Well this really is it guys. Eva’s final episodes are on this evening.

“The most incredible seven years of my life. With the best team. Thank you universe – grateful every day.”

The soap fave also teased fans of the show that they could expect to see more of her as mock alter-ego Olga, a pensioner who works as a cleaner at textiles factory Underworld.

Cath has been seen playing the comedy creation in short skits shared on the show’s social media profiles, in which Olga gives behind-the-scenes tours of the show.

She wrote: “Keep your eyes peeled for Olga this weekend though. I have a feeling she won’t be leaving quietly…”
