Coronation Street
Tyldesley played a midwife in an episode broadcast on 13 January 2006. In May 2011, Tyldesley was cast in the regular role of Eva. The actress began filming her first scenes that month. During an interview with Digital Spy, Tyldesley revealed that there had been a lot of competition for the role of Eva and that she felt “incredibly lucky” to have secured the part. Tyldesley said she felt “nervous” when she first arrived on set.
Speaking to What’s on TV, she said that she had a “mini freak out” when filming her first scenes in The Rovers. Tyldesley added that Coronation Street is “absolutely legendary” and is thrilled to be a part of the cast. After impressing producers, it was later confirmed that Tyldesley was to be kept on as a permanent member of the cast. After signing a new six-month contract, an executive said that Eva will be involved in some “cracking” storylines towards the end of the year.
In May 2012, Tyldesley expressed her desire for a long-term stint on the show. Speaking to the Daily Mirror, Tyldesley said “I’ve always wanted to be in Corrie. So when I got the phone call to tell me that I’d got the part, I was thrilled to bits.”She also added that Eva has got “so much scope”.

Before she appeared on screen, Eva was described as being “feisty”. Tyldesley revealed more about her character, saying “Eva is a little bit of a princess! She’s been spoiled rotten, so she’s somewhat high maintenance and a little bit of a drama queen. She’s definitely used to getting her own way.”The actress said her character adores her mother and they share a great relationship.
When Eva enters the show, her circumstances force her to be angrier than she normally is. Tyldesley said that Eva does have a softer side, which she believed viewers would see in the future. When asked why Eva and Karl do not get along, Tyldesley said “I think it’s because they’re both quite similar. When Eva first joins the street, she’s had a little bit of turmoil with past relationships and things like that, so I think she feels like she wants to be quite selfish at the moment, which annoys Karl.
But she’s always been full of self-importance because she’s always been spoiled – she’s not known any different.”Tyldesley revealed that Eva is not a lesbian character, despite a newspaper report, and that she definitely loves the boys. When asked about Eva’s type, Tyldesley said that they would have to be “on her wavelength” as Eva gets bored and frustrated with people who are not on her level.
In May 2012, Tyldesley commented that Eva’s glamorous lifestyle can be “straining” and she enjoys time off work so she can wear normal and more comfortable clothes.

Catherine Tyldesley Emmerdale
Emmerdale’s Catherine Tyldesley reveals the sporting family tree at LCCC suite launch
And the official red carpet opening of Lancashire County Cricket Club’s new hospitality suite The Point was also an emotional one for glamorous Emmerdale star Catherine Tyldesley and her family. For Catherine’s great-great uncles were the famed Lancashire cricketing brothers Ernest and John Thomas Tyldesley, who the LCCC’s former function room had been named after.
But Catherine and dad Graham said they were more than happy for that room to make way for the state-of-the-art new venue. Catherine, who plays prison officer Abi Peterson in the Yorkshire-set soap, says: “I’ve always had an interest in my family tree, and the fact our family is tied into somewhere like the LCCC is really fantastic.
“The Tyldesley name still lives on in the plaques inside the Pavillion, so although the suite has gone it’s great to see what they’ve done in its place.” Despite her ancestors’ sporting pedigree, as two of the club’s most prolific run-getters of all time, Catherine tells me she’s not so clued up on cricket herself.
