The day Eva Price returned to the Rovers with a triumphant smile, Maria Connor knew that the old nightmare was about to begin again.

In the cozy atmosphere of the pub, the two women who used to be “close sisters” now looked at each other like two strangers with scars from the past.

Maria walked over, her voice cold: “Welcome back. I hope this time… you don’t blow everything up.”

Eva only responded with a faint smile – a smile that anyone who has watched Corrie knows does not bode well.

Tension spread throughout the pub. Former staff like Toyah Battersby and Sean Tully tried to pretend to be busy, but everyone heard every gentle but heavy argument between the two “Rovers queens”.

According to behind-the-scenes images, Eva planned to hold a “Rovers New Era” – a grand opening party to mark the new era. But Maria thought this was just a show-off. During the staff meeting, Maria flatly objected: “Rovers is a community place, not my stage.” Eva smiled and replied: “What community doesn’t like a bit of drama?”

The situation became more tense when Leanne – who had been the intermediary between the two sides – now sided with Eva. Leanne said bluntly: “Maria, it’s time for a change. Eva can make Rovers a better place.” This was the last straw, and an underground war between the two women officially began.

Corrie fans call this “Weatherfield’s new power struggle”. On one side is Eva – a symbol of boldness and ambition, on the other side is Maria – a defender of the old order and traditional reputation. Between them is Rovers – a cultural icon of the whole neighborhood. And just one night, just one rumor, and everything can go up in flames.

Will Eva be able to keep the restaurant, or will Maria turn the tables? One thing is certain: the Rovers will no longer be a peaceful place to drink beer – but an arena of intrigue, jealousy and fame.
