Tracy Barlow sparks unexpected tension in the Rovers this week when she asks Ollie Driscoll to keep an eye on her drink. That moment pushes Maggie Driscoll to bring up Tracy’s deadly past and her reaction leaves Coronation Street viewers wondering whether she might be hiding a much darker history of her own.
Tracy’s 2007 Murder Returns in Coronation Street
The Driscolls are still adjusting to life on Coronation Street, and Maggie wastes no time helping Ollie understand the residents he’s surrounded by. As soon as Tracy steps away from her drink, Maggie reminds him that Tracy once killed a man. It instantly changes the tone of the conversation. Eva Price joins in to explain the full story. She recalls how Tracy discovered Charlie Stubbs had cheated on her with Maria Connor back in 2007.
Tracy pretended to reconcile, performed a seductive dance, then grabbed a statue and struck him multiple times in a scene. Ollie’s first question is why Tracy isn’t serving a prison sentence. Eva can’t give him a clear answer, though fans know Tracy overturned her life sentence after uncovering dodgy work from a forensics officer. Maggie’s casual remark about liking Tracy draws a raised eyebrow from Eva, who suddenly seems unsure about Maggie’s motives.
Maggie’s Hidden Crime Starts To Surface
New reports suggest Maggie has a deadly secret of her own. Insiders claim she previously killed someone, and her past will be explored in an upcoming special episode. A source said the revelation will send shockwaves through Weatherfield and completely change the direction of Maggie’s story. Her crime predates her arrival at the Rovers Return, meaning her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren have no idea what she has done.
The truth is set to unravel across a major storyline leading into the festive period. It puts the Driscolls at the centre of the drama. Fans have already connected clues and suspect Maggie may be tied to the death of Adam Barlow’s mum, Susan. Her behaviour in the Barlow house and her tense reaction to seeing Eva and Adam together have only strengthened those theories.
Billy Mayhew has also been mentioned in speculation. He was one of the people involved in the events surrounding Susan’s death. And some fans believe he might uncover Maggie’s secret. His upcoming departure from the show has sparked fears that he could learn the truth at exactly the wrong moment. And that Maggie might take drastic steps to keep her past buried.
