Corrie’s Eva Price is desperate to make fiance Aidan Connor pay for cheating on her with her best friend, Maria Connor, but the whole revenge plot is starting to get on top of her.
Step forward a knight in shining armour who promises to make it all okay. But will Eva be tempted to fall into his arms?
Eva and Adam Barlow had originally joined forces after she discovered he knew all about Aidan’s affair and was blackmailing him. Together they felt they made a better team as Eva wanted to bring Aidan down and Adam wanted his hands on Underworld.

But it looks like their business relationship is about to become much, much more when Eva starts having a crisis of conscience.
With Aidan telling her he’s so excited over the baby he thinks they’re having together, Eva is struggling to keep up with the fake pregnancy.
When she tells Adam she can’t carry on with the lies and they have to return the hard drive they stole from Underworld, Eva’s a little surprised when Adam just hands it over and agrees. Hmm, we’re suspicious too, Eva.
Heading back to the factory to replace it, Eva’s in a mess when Johnny and Aidan return and start talking in the office.
Forced to hide under the table, will she overhear something that makes her rethink calling off the plan?
A torn Eva just doesn’t know what to do. But Adam’s there again to offer support and suggests she get away to clear her head for a while.
She agrees it’s the best option and as she’s thanking him for his support, Adam takes his opportunity and leans in for a kiss. But will she respond?
“He can tell how genuinely hurt Eva is by everything that’s happened to her,” Adam’s alter ego Sam Robertson revealed to Inside Soap.
“There’s a chemistry between them – so when she thanks him for all he’s done for her, Adam acts on instinct. He has genuine feelings for Eva.”
He added: “He’s started to fancy her, and that’s taken him by surprise.”
But as Eva prepares to head to France to spend time with Stella, who she’s lied is “in crisis” will she be pining for Adam as she goes?

It seems the plan is still on though when she hands Maria her wedding planning folder and asks her, as bridesmaid, to be in charge of everything while she’s gone. She also brings the big day forward to share it with Johnny and Jenny.
The thing is, Maria has noticed Eva and Adam’s closeness and is starting to get suspicious – has she rumbled their plot?
“Adam is oblivious to the fact Maria has sussed something is going on,” Sam admitted. “That is a very dangerous position to be in, because there’s no love lost between him and Maria, or between Maria and Eva.”
