After flirting for weeks, the pair
grow closer when Eva supports Aidan following the bombshell news that
Johnny is Carla's father.
However,
after they bring the New Year in together by sharing a kiss, Eva looks
set for heartbreak when Kate drops a bombshell that could make her think
twice about starting a relationship with Aidan.
Catherine
Tyldesley, who plays Eva, explained: "There is a connection between Eva
and Aidan which grows because she helps him through the whole situation
regarding finding out about Carla being his half-sister. Eva tells him that she went through
the same thing when she found out Leanne was her sister and at first she
was really angry and couldn't deal with it, but now they are very close
and it is one of the best things that has happened to her. It
is clear they fancy each other and then at the New Year's Eve party
they end up snogging the face off each other for the whole night."
Afterwards, Kate
will throw a spanner in the works when she reveals that Aidan had made a
bet that he wouldn't give into temptation by sleeping with Eva,
prompting her to throw a drink over him.
Tyldesley revealed: "Kate comes into the pub and tells Aidan that he owes her a drink as
she had bet him he would sleep with Eva. Eva is furious and throws the drink over his head! It isn't the best start to the relationship."
Speaking about what the future holds
for the duo now, Tyldesley added: "We have filmed into the New Year and
they seem to be developing them as a couple. He does seem to bring the best out in her, he thinks she is bonkers but he also sees a more serious, intelligent side to her. We have got a more serious storyline coming up so you will see a different side to Eva."
