Coronation Street spoilers: Maggie petrified as she’s confronted by past secret
Maggie Driscoll’s lies are closing in (Picture: ITV)
Maggie Driscoll (Pauline McLynn) has been hiding a major secret in Coronation Street, and tonight’s episode saw it finally catch up with her.
It was the day of Jim McDonald’s funeral, and Ben Driscoll (Aaron McCusker) was keen to support new friend Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson).
However, it was clear that Maggie wasn’t comfortable with Ben’s attendance at the funeral, and it was later confirmed why.
Steve and Ben were joined in the Rovers after the service by two of Jim’s former army friends, which immediately set Maggie on edge.
Wanting them out of her pub, she tried to urge Ben to get them to leave by pointing out that he had a hospital appointment early the next morning, but he wasn’t having any of it.
This led to her fears being confirmed when one of Jim’s friends found her outside, and made it clear that he recognised her.

Though he promised not to rock the boat, Maggie was clearly rattled when he revealed that he knew she had once lived in Belfast and had an affair with Jim.
Maggie has clearly kept this a tight secret for many years, but how far will she go to continue to keep it hush hush?
There is a lot at stake for Maggie, as it is set to be revealed in due course that Jim McDonald was actually Ben’s father, making him Steve’s half-brother.
Already, Maggie has realised the dangers of keeping her secret, having witnessed grandson Ollie Driscoll (Raphael Akuwudike) take Steve’s daughter Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney) on a date.

However, it certainly isn’t below Maggie to meddle, and she threw up obstacles wherever possible to sabotage Ollie and Amy’s budding incestuous romance.

Though at first she disapproved of Ollie’s interest in barmaid Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton), Maggie has now taken to pushing them together, managing to orchestrate it so that Amy walked in on the pair kissing and promptly ended things with Ollie.
