Actor Pauline McLynn Embarks on Coronation Street Journey (in the UK)
New Publicans Arrive at Coronation Street's Rovers Return Inn
The long-running soap opera, Coronation Street, is set to introduce a new family of publicans at the Rovers Return Inn – the Driscolls. The Driscoll family, led by the charismatic Ben O'Driscoll, played by Aaron McCusker, is set to bring a fresh wave of drama and excitement to the iconic pub.
Aaron McCusker, known for his roles in Shameless and Hope Street, brings an Irish charm to the role of Ben O'Driscoll. He is joined by his on-screen family, which includes his mother Maggie, played by Pauline McLynn, his two sons, and Eva Price's daughter, Susie Price.
Pauline McLynn, famous for her role as Mrs. Doyle in the television series Father Ted, takes on the role of Maggie, Ben's mother. Catherine Tyldesley, who played Eva Price for several years, will reprise her role as Ben's wife and co-owner of the Rovers Return Inn.
Eva Price last appeared on Coronation Street in 2018, when she left to start a new life in France with her daughter. Her return to Weatherfield and the Rovers Return promises to be a dramatic event, with big secrets and raucous parties galore.
Executive producer Kate Brooks is thrilled about Eva Price's return, stating that the Driscoll family will be at the "beating heart" of a new, dramatic chapter for the Rovers Return. The introduction of the Driscoll family is said to bring "big drama, explosive secrets, and raucous knees ups galore" to the show.
Sadly, the departure of some beloved characters has also been announced this year. Sue Cleaver, who played Eileen Grimshaw for 25 years, is among those who have left Coronation Street. Colson Smith, who played Craig Tinker, and Luca Toolan, who played Mason Radcliffe, are also among the stars who have bid farewell to the cobbles.
As the new Driscoll family settles into the Rovers Return, viewers can expect to be at the heart of the action, as the Driscolls navigate their new life in Weatherfield and the challenges that come with running a pub in the iconic street.

With the Driscoll family at the beating heart of a new, dramatic chapter, the show is set to offer big drama, explosive secrets, and raucous parties – a surefire boost to the entertainment sector.
