Eva Price is going through another tense moment in Coronation Street as her ongoing feud with Maggie Driscoll refuses to calm down. Their arguments and frosty looks have taken over the pub for weeks, but the next twist puts them in a situation neither one would have chosen. What happens during that moment could finally change their messy relationship or send it spinning in a direction Eva is not ready for.
Eva and Maggie Keep Clashing Behind the Bar
When Eva returned to Weatherfield last month, Ben Driscoll surprised her by telling her they were taking over the Rovers together. Before she could even process that, Maggie stepped forward and announced that she was the one who provided the money for the pub. That little detail gave her every reason to walk into their lives and behave as if she had a say in everything.
From the very beginning, Maggie made it clear that she did not approve of Eva being with her son. She questioned her choices, hovered behind the bar and found faults in almost everything. People close to the show even said the place feels crowded now and that Eva is becoming tired of Maggie’s sharp comments. Even with all this tension, both women care deeply about Ben. That shared loyalty keeps pulling them into the same space again and again, even when they would rather avoid each other.
A Spa Day Brings an Unexpected Shift
In an unexpected turn, Eva and Maggie end up going on a pamper day together. Yes, the two people who can barely hold a civil chat suddenly sit side by side for a spa session. It might be the first moment they get to breathe without snapping at each other. Catherine Tydesley said she has admired Pauline McLynn’s work for years and loves sharing scenes with her.
She explained that there was a moment where Eva admitted that if she had met Maggie outside her relationship with Ben, they would probably get along. Catherine also said that both characters want a strong family and that this similar drive is what makes their scenes fun and fiery at the same time. Catherine also explained how Eva’s opinion of Maggie changes over time. At first, Eva feels annoyed and nothing more. But after spending more time with her, Eva starts sensing a much stronger and more intimidating side.
Catherine said Eva eventually reaches a point where she realises exactly what Maggie can do, and that realisation scares her. That fear becomes very real when viewers learn Maggie’s biggest secret. A special flashback episode reveals that she once killed someone. This twist completely changes how people see her and explains why Eva’s attitude grows more cautious.
