Coronation Street‘s Evelyn Plummer will return to the cobbles next week after six months away.
The fan favourite character (played by Dame Maureen Lipman) made the bold decision to pursue a law degree back in January and headed off to university.
What to Read Next
In real life, Dame Maureen decided to take a step back from her full time role on the soap, instead appearing as a recurring guest star. At the time, she explained that she wanted to spend more time with her fiancé.
Evelyn briefly returned to Weatherfield in March and, after learning about Cassie’s drug relapse, she stuck around to help her struggling daughter.
Next week’s episodes will see the battle-axe back on our screens when she reconnects with her good friend Roy Cropper.
In scenes that will air on 5 September, Roy visits the hospital while suffering with a sore back and is delighted to bump into Evelyn.
As the pair get chatting, Roy catches Evelyn up on the street’s recent goings-on. Evelyn doesn’t wait for an invitation to Carla Connor and Lisa Swain’s dinner party and arrives at the Bistro for the event.
Will the residents of Weatherfield be happy to see her?
Meanwhile, Carla and Lisa’s dinner party could suggest a big celebration is on the cards. Following a failed proposal in the Rovers, Carla is determined to pop the question properly. But will things go to plan for the couple?
