The Star says that Jason accuses Eva of having an affair with his dad, Tony Stewart. But what Jason doesn't know is that Eva and Tony are getting friendly only because Tony is helping Eva buy her and Jason a house at a local auction. Eva wants to keep the secret as a surprise for Jason but he's furious when he sees her giving Tony a kiss, and jumps to the wrong conclusions, accusing Eva of cheating on him.
Eva can't forgive Jason for thinking she's having the affair, quits Weatherfieldand heads off to the States alone to see her mum.
The storyline was created to cover for Catherine's real-life maternity cover but she hopes to be back by the summer.

I'll miss her - Eva has really come into her own since her family left, and she works great behind the bar and in the Grimshaw family unit.
ReplyDeleteAlready looking forward to her return!
The 'Eva laugh' Catherine has created for her character is the best laugh on telly! Enjoy your maternity Catherine, and good luck x
ReplyDeleteYes, that's pretty much what I thought, some upset with Jason and she goes to see her mum.
ReplyDeleteAgree, David, I love Eva's laugh/giggle. It's unfortunate that they often have to write awkward storylines to temporarily write someone out, like a maternity leave or a personal leave. Jimmi Harkishin is due to have a sabbatical soon as well, traveling with his kids. HE's had this in the works for nearly a year as he mentioned it in the Halifax appearance last spring (Nova Scotia)
I am really growing fond of Eva and shall miss her when she leaves. Wish all best with her baby!
ReplyDeleteI will also miss Eva as mentioned above she's a great addition to the Grimshaws and in the Rovers.She's also been a good friend to both Kylie and David too.
ReplyDeleteWhat bugs me about her exit is that it means Sarah most likely will set her sights on Jason thus setting the stage for a Battersby[Leeanne]\Grimshaw Platt fight upon Eva's return.
I thought about that too but remember reading a while back that Tina o'brian and Ryan Thomas's real life break up was messy and one of the reasons she didn't return to corrie sooner. Unless they've buried the hatchet in their personal lives, I just can't see there being a Sarah and Jason reunion.....
DeleteAnonymous at 20:34. I wonder whether that is likely in light of the off-screen relationship between Tina O'Brian and Ryan Thomas. Didn't it end rather acrimoniously? Presumably they're on better terms now (and they do have a daughter together) but it would be unreasonable to expect them to resume an onscreen relationship under the circumstances.
ReplyDeleteGood luck Catherine. I hope that you come back soon!
ReplyDeleteDev'll be visiting his football team in Mumbai I reckon. The seeds have been sewn! - Micky
ReplyDeleteI like Eva..she is one of the good characters. Wish her well with her pregnancy and hope to see her back soon.
ReplyDeleteI've forgotten about Tina's and Ryan's break up.In that case I hope then that Ryan Thomas[Jason] isn't suddenly axed like Bruno LangleyTodd]was a few years ago after he and Tina O'Brien also broke up too.At the risk of sounding cynical,it seems that an interesting character is axed to make way for more storylines for the Platts and I don't want to see Jason go in favour of Sarah.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that Jason would be written out unless the actor wanted to be. One of the best looking men on the street, long history on the show, especially given his age, and connections with many of the other characters...it just doesn't seem likely he would be written out. I just hope that he and Eva get back together again when she returns, as I really enjoyed them together.
ReplyDeleteI thought for a moment that the actress was leaving for good. I'm glad that she is not; Eva is one of the most enjoyable characters these days. Now, if they want to throw Callum under a bus...
ReplyDelete:( I love Jeva forever!! Please don't let Jason move on with any one else!!!
