The Driscoll family’s time on Coronation Street is about to take a dramatic turn. What started as a lively new chapter in The Rovers will soon spiral into a storyline that’s darker, deeper, and far more emotional than anyone imagined. And by the sound of it, this twist will hit harder than anyone, even the Driscolls, ever expected.
The Calm Before the Chaos
The Driscolls have only been on the cobbles for a short time, but they’ve already become one of Weatherfield’s most talked-about families. Ben’s charm behind the bar, Eva’s bold presence, and Maggie’s strong personality have made them a lively addition to The Rovers.
But now, according to Aaron McCusker, that light-hearted chaos is about to turn into full-blown drama. Aaron revealed that the family is at the centre of a massive new storyline that’s already filming and will continue well into the new year.
He said fans “won’t see it coming,” adding that the plot will test each member of the family in ways they never expected. While he didn’t give away much, he hinted that there’s “lots of fun, secrets, and in-fighting” ahead and that the Driscolls’ bond will be pushed to its limits. With Maggie stirring the pot and Eva’s past catching up with her, it seems the family’s time in The Rovers is about to explode into something none of them can control.
The Twist That Turns Everything Upside Down
Aaron described the upcoming storyline as “huge,” teasing that it’ll “get a reaction” once it airs. He said the drama will unfold slowly but lead to a moment that will “rock us as a family.” The plot, he explained, will dig deep into the Driscolls’ relationships, revealing cracks that even they didn’t know existed. He admitted the cast doesn’t yet know how it all ends, which means fans can expect plenty of surprises along the way.
But he promised the journey there will be gripping, emotional, and full of moments no one will see coming. Before the drama kicks off, Aaron mentioned one light-hearted scene: a hilarious Halloween moment where Ben meets one of Eva’s exes in a very unexpected way. It’s “done quite well,” he said.
A Christmas Full of Secrets and Heartbreak
If the Driscolls’ upcoming Christmas scenes are anything to go by, the family’s troubles are far from over. Aaron revealed that the Christmas Day episode will be “dramatic, boozy, and chaotic,” describing it as both “revealing and heartbreaking.” It sounds like this festive season could be when their big secret finally comes out and when the fallout really begins. Despite all the on-screen tension, Aaron said he’s loving his time on the show, calling Coronation Street “a lovely, lovely place to work.”
He added that working with familiar faces has made filming the intense scenes even more enjoyable. Whatever’s coming next for the Driscolls, it’s clear their story is about to explode in a way that will leave viewers completely stunned.
