Coronation Street newcomer Ollie’s true identity seems to have been exposed to fans in a new spoiler image, with a link to returning character Eva Price on the ITV soap
There is a familiar face returning to Coronation Street, and it seems they have a secret connection with newcomer Ollie.
After some weird behaviour from the character, who is currently the love interest of Dee-Dee Bailey, we seemingly finally know who Ollie is. Fans had suspected he may be a secret relative or in cahoots with someone on the street.
But it “was not on their bingo cards” when a spoiler picture released by the ITV soap appeared to confirm his real link to the cobbles. With that, Ollie’s real identity came to light – and he’s linked to Eva Price.
Catherine Tyldesley’s character Eva makes her return after seven years next week, joined by the new family the Driscolls. The new owners of The Rovers Return, Eva is joined by husband Ben Driscoll and her overbearing mother-in-law Maggie Driscoll.
That’s not all though as Eva’s daughter Susie is heading back too, along with Ben’s two sons. One of those sons appears to be none other than Ollie.

A promotional picture shared to The Mirror shows Ollie sat with the other family members. While full details regarding the link and why Ollie arrived in Weatherfield are yet to be confirmed, fans have been reeling over the big twist that Ollie is likely to be Ben’s son.
Taking to X as the picture revealed all, one fan said: “Corrie publicity deciding to spoil in advance the reveal that Ollie is Ben’s son is wild.” Another fan said: “OLLIE IS BEN’S SON.”
A third viewer commented: “Ollie being Ben’s son was not on my bingo card, but it makes a lot of sense now… his interest in the Rovers… his interest in Toyah… he was scouting for his fambam.”
Another viewer said: “Would explain why Ollie has been asking lots of questions about people,” as another agreed: “Now it makes sense why Ollie was keeping an eye on Toyah!!”
One more comment read: “Ollie being one of those sons, was not on my BINGO card.” On the big giveaway and what’s ahead for the Driscolls, our Mirror soap source shared it was just the beginning where the twists and turns are concerned.
They shared: “There’s so much in store for the Driscolls, and they very quickly take centre stage – and rightly so. The Ollie link is something fans won’t have seen coming, and there’s plenty more of that on the way so keep your eyes peeled.”
