Coronation Street viewers are buzzing again, and this time, things feel uneasy around Peter Barlow and the newly arrived Driscoll family. Ben and Eva’s return has already stirred old shadows. However, the real tension landed when Maggie started reacting strangely inside the Barlow home. Keep scrolling to learn more.
Maggie’s Memories Resurface, And The Past Turns Darker
The recent episodes were very intense as the Driscoll saga consumed the screen time. And it also featured Maggie’s distressing past, which was quite terrible to see. Viewers got to see her facing the nightmare of an abusive marriage with Alan. Elsewhere, the marriage ended the day she pushed him down the stairs after they had a major fight. And young Finlay, witnessing the fall, brought more strains in the family.
However, the flashbacks also opened a door, and so after some scenes were aired, fans started digging. People noticed hints about a secret affair between Maggie and another man before Alan died. Then, the next moment, something shifted when Maggie walked through the Barlow house. And she opened cupboards, and sideboards suddenly froze. Many viewers replayed that scene on repeat. Moreover, it felt like she had seen something she never wanted to see again. And then fans connect the dots.
Peter is 60, and Maggie is recently turning 65, and Peter has spent years away in the Navy, where he crossed paths with countless people. And the timing doesn’t look impossible, as in a soap old affairs are crawling out just when you think the past is dead. Fans were posting about their theories online.
Some say that she must have recognised something of Peter’s. It could be something in Ken’s old sideboard. Elsewhere, others took Mike Baldwin’s name and said that the age and circumstances might link Maggie to either man. It could be Ben, a possible half-brother or cousin to Adam.
Ben’s Paternity Questions Grow In Coronation Street
Moreover, the conversation about Ben’s real father has not slowed down. In fact, the viewers have already seen that Driscoll’s storyline is woven into existing Corrie history. And fans aren’t even ruling out a DNA shock in the upcoming months.
Elsewhere, Ben and Eva have no idea about what’s coming. However, Corrie doesn’t bring a family without deeper secrets.
During her last interview, Pauline McLynn, the actress of Maggie, suggested that she would be okay if her character became a total villain. Fans got really excited with this single sentence because they figured if Maggie is going to be even darker, then she must have a lot more secrets that she hasn’t revealed yet.
