Weatherfield was peaceful until Maggie Driscoll arrived like a cold wind.

She may look gentle, but her vibe is such that a smile alone is enough to scare people. She didn’t come just to be a mother-in-law, nor to blend in with the neighborhood for fun.

Maggie arrived with a suitcase full of secrets, and every time her expression changed, the Barlow family’s hearts raced.

The most intense rumor circulating in the fanbase is that Charlie Stubbs might not only be Tracy Barlow’s past, but also a hidden part of Maggie’s blood.

If this theory is true, Corrie is about to throw the whole town into an earthquake: Tracy killed Charlie, and that was already the biggest stain on her life. Now, suddenly, a “biological mother” appears, meaning Charlie’s death is no longer a thing of the past to be forgotten. The problem is, Maggie doesn’t have a loud, dramatic way of seeking revenge. She would play the game of a woman in control: friendly enough to lull people into a false sense of security, then subtly bait the hook at the right time and place, letting the whole neighborhood bite each other.

A seemingly harmless question at Rovers’ restaurant would be enough to bring up Charlie’s name, and a casual glance would be enough to startle Tracy. And if Maggie was truly connected to that name, she wouldn’t need to yell, “I’m here for revenge.” She would simply isolate Tracy, make her suspicious, and drag her back to the very hell Tracy thought she had escaped. Even worse, Maggie had a history of living in darkness: her family past wasn’t clean, and the way she reacted whenever someone brought up the past showed she was willing to do anything to keep it a secret.
