In parallel with the Swain family drama, the Adam – Eva – Maggie character line is causing another storm in Corrie.

The producer confirmed that there is still “unfinished business” between Adam and Eva, and that is what makes Maggie Barlow – Adam’s mother – start to fear “something terrible is about to happen”.

Rumors are rife that Adam once hid a failed investment, and Eva is the one who holds the evidence.

Maggie, who is conservative and afraid of scandal, feels a bad premonition.

The scene where she calls in the night, saying “you cannot repeat your father’s mistake” makes fans guess that the Barlow family’s financial secret is about to be exposed.

If the script goes the way Corrie usually does, this “unfinished business” will not only be a love story – but a scandal that will shake the entire Weatherfield area.
