Coronation Street: What did Maureen Lipman say about Evelyn and Arthur?
Actress Maureen Lipman said Evelyn is devastated as it took her a lot of courage to let her guard down and consider a relationship.
As reported in Digital Spy, Maureen said: “She has strong feelings for Arthur and gives him plenty of slack because she knows her predilection for emasculating men who fancy her.
“When he lets her down, she is hurt. It has taken a lot to let her guard down enough to even consider intimacy.
“She’s actually dead scared to get her vest off, as she hasn’t considered what’s underneath for twenty years!”
Maureen added: “She hates feeling hurt because it makes her weak so she lashes out defensively. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.”
