We can now reveal that Catherine has been spotted on set, signaling further she is all set for her big Coronation Street comeback.
A source told The Sun: "'There has been lots of excitement on set because Catherine has been seen around the place.
"She's not back filming just yet, but it won't be long."
Catherine was set reprise her famous Corrie role.
A source told us at the time: 'Cath has been away for a while and worked on countless other projects but she really missed Corrie.
'They've tried to get her back a few times but the stars have never alligned.
'But when she was approached with the idea for Eva's return, it was too good of an opportunity to pass up.
'She'll start filming again in summer and be back on screen for autumn.
'She's so excited and can't wait to get back on the cobbles and it's definitely not going to be a storyline to miss.'
BECOMING A CORRIE STAR
Catherine was an instant hit when she joined Corrie in 2011, as feisty barmaid Eva.
Coronation Street actors Shayne Ward and Catherine Tyldesley lead soap stars in The Good Ship Murder
She was on the ITV soap for seven years until 2018 and during that time was involved in some HUGE storylines.
In her most memorable storyline she fell pregnant with tragic Aidan Connor's baby and attempted to give her daughter to Toyah Battersby.
Cath's character also enjoyed several steamy relationships with Adam Barlow, Rob Donovan, Jason Grimshaw and Nick Tilsley.
Eva left Weatherfield after she moved to France with her mum Stella.

COMEBACK TALK
Earlier this year, Catherine opened up about the possibility of returning to the cobbles.
She teased fans by insisting she would "never say never".
"Coronation Street feels like forever ago, but I always look back with such great fondness,' she told Prima magazine.
"They've asked me to go back a couple of times over the years, and it just so happened that I was busy with other projects.
"But if they approached me with an amazing storyline and the time was right, of course, I'd go back. So it's always a case of never say never.'
LIFE AWAY FROM CORRIE
Since leaving Coronation Street, Catherine has continued to dominate our TV screens.
She has gone on to star in BBC One series Scarborough and Channel 5 drama The Good Ship Murder, as well as compete on the 2019 series of Strictly Come Dancing.

Unassuming 3-bedroom property in Yorkshire on sale for £289,000 has 'insane' and 'bonkers' decorations
A three-bedroom property up for sale has taken the internet by storm with its 'insane' and 'bonkers' shrine to a rock icon. The semi-detached home in Goole, Yorkshire, which is up for grabs for £289,000, has caused a stir on social media for its unusual decorations. The unassuming house, with a grey exterior, is described as being a 'truly unique property' and even has its own bar. However, a closer look inside and it is clear to see owners are huge Elvis Presley fans, with the home boasting its own shrine to the King of Rock 'n' Roll. A video shared on the TikTok page, housinghorrors, started with: 'The interior of this house has an Elvis Presley shrine. Check this out, this is insane.' Once the video cuts to the lounge of the house, the host said: 'I have never seen anything quite like it. Now it is safe to say whoever lives in this property absolutely loves Elvis Presley.' 'Now I don't know where to look. Let's just start here because they have all this kind of little figurines of Elvis Presley. They have got photos, merch, the lot. 'I have never seen anything quite like it. It is absolutely insane.' The shrine has all things Elvis-related, including mini figurines, posters, ceramic plates and even guitars. The video host goes on to say: 'The more you look, the more insane it gets. Where do you get all this stuff from? 'It is safe to say whoever lives in the property is an avid Elvis Presley fan. 'They've even got his CDs and this Elvis Presley mural.' It then goes on the show the shed-converted bar, which is also Elvis Presley themed. The bar is also filled with Elvis memorabilia, including pictures of the rock icon, retro bar signs and cushions with his face on. The host of the video continues: 'This is the absolute icing on the cake. 'In the back, they have even got their shed converted into an Elvis Presley-themed bar. 'I just don't know where to even start. It is absolutely bonkers. 'I tell you what, I fully rate it. It is so unusual. 'It is bonkers, but I tell you what, it kind of works.' And TikTok users reacted overwhelmingly positively to the property's homage to the American singer. One user said: 'I'm moving in it's amazing.' While another added: 'Leave me the stuff and I'll have the house.' 'I would love this house if the Elvis memorabilia came with it, it's amazing. My dream house,' a third added. While another added: 'It would stay, I love it. Elvis collection will be worth a fortune.' 'My house if I didn't live with others,' one person joked. One user wrote: 'Leave me the stuff and I'll have the house'

Patrick Kielty 'in dark place' if fears over Cat Deeley moving back to US come true
Patrick Kielty and Cat Deeley announced this week they are to split after 13 years of marriage Insiders have expressed concern that Patrick Kielty could be "in a very dark place" if his ex-wife Cat Deeley decides to return to the US with their children. The couple, who were married for 13 years, announced their separation this week, causing shockwaves and concern among their close circles. Residents in Dundrum, County Down - Patrick's hometown - have voiced their worry for the 54 year old star, who tied the knot with Cat in Rome back in September 2012. Those close to Patrick, father of two children with Cat, fear he would be heartbroken if his former spouse returns to the US, where they previously resided. An insider revealed: "Everyone is worried about Paddy. The fear is that Cat will go back to America with the little ones. That will leave him in a very dark place," reports the Mirror. Cat took over presenting duties on ITV's This Morning last year alongside Ben Shephard, following the departures of Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby. However, since confirming her split from Patrick, it has come to light that 48 year old Cat found the transition back to the UK challenging. There are growing concerns that Cat, who began her career hosting SMTV Live on Saturday mornings, might quit her role at ITV and head back to the US. Television insiders told Mail Online: "Cat's time on This Morning has not been a failure, but it has hardly been a roaring success. "It is a job which puts her under so much scrutiny, day-in and day-out, and unlike most British presenters she has plenty more lucrative options to choose from in the States... there is concern that all of this family drama could lead her to walk away." Cat and Patrick, a comedian and TV host, resided in Los Angeles for over 14 years, where Cat hosted the reality TV show, So You Think You Can Dance. They returned to the UK and Cat promptly began on This Morning, believed to be one of several ITV daytime shows facing budget cuts. The broadcaster recently unveiled plans for a revamp, including reducing Lorraine by 30 minutes and discontinuing it entirely during school holidays from January. It's thought that This Morning will relocate from its White City base in west London to a smaller, less expensive studio in central London. Cat has been candid about her struggles adjusting to the 5am starts for the four days a week she presents This Morning, revealing that it resulted in her and Patrick sleeping in separate beds most nights.

Last September, Patrick, who presents The Late Late Show which is recorded in Dublin, dismissed suggestions that the couple were finding it hard to make time for each other. Patrick and Cat announced their split in a joint statement to the PA News agency which read: "We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved. We will continue to be united as loving parents to our children and would therefore kindly ask for our family privacy to be respected."

Love Island alum Olivia - known for giving her take on a variety of issues on ITV daytime series Loose Women - switched to the channel's earlier time slot this summer. 4 A Love Island host has revealed her plans to follow in the footsteps of Olivia Attwood, as she eyed up a gig on This Morning Credit: Goff 4 Olivia has landed a gig on the This Morning sofa Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 4 Amy says her presenting skills have developed while hosting the Love Island podcast Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Olivia, 34, revealed her huge new telly role in June before exclusively telling The Sun she has "put the work in" for the plum broadcasting job. And Love Island Aftersun star Amy Hart, who is also one of the faces of the Love Island podcast, has shared her desire to land a This Morning gig too. Amy attended acBluey Kind of Day Out at John Lewis, and told The Sun: 'It's my absolute dream job. I'd love to do any presenting on This Morning. 'I just love presenting and I feel like through the podcast I've really grown as a presenter. So I'd love to carry on doing anything like that.' Amy continued: 'Olivia is amazing, and she's done so well. I'd like to make documentaries like she does too. There's a couple that I'd really love to make. 'We're just putting together the ideas for them and that kind of thing at the moment.' Olivia is one of a number of stars filling in for regular hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard over the summer break. But the Olivia Meets Her Match star was forced to clap back at trolls who criticised her appointment and insisted "there's much more to me." Though she's not the first reality star to host the show, with fellow summer star and X Factor icon Rylan Clark having already proven a dab hand on the set, Olivia's villa background hasn't gone down well with some traditionalists who have gone so far as to say they'll "definitely stop watching'. But Olivia, 34, is confident in her abilities and feels she's earned her stripes to become ITV's new golden girl. Amy Hart hits back as she reveals Curtis Pritchard fans wanted her SACKED from job on Love Island She exclusively told The Sun: "Those who know me understand the hard work I've put in to get where I am today. "I'm forever grateful to Love Island for being the springboard to my career, but I'm excited to show there's so much more to me beyond the villa." She continued: "It's been a lot of hard work, but I've always stayed focused on my goals and believed in myself and I'm very thankful for ITV in believing me." Amy attended the Bluey family event on Tuesday, alongside a string of other famous faces. John Lewis' flagship store on London's Oxford Street hosted the event, bringing to life the iconic kids' show Bluey to life, through a range of playful experiences inspired by this year's brand theme for Bluey, 'Let's Play Chef'.
