George Shuttleworth, as the former pub owner and stage acquaintance of the Rovers, is feeling uneasy.

When Maggie walks in, he sees the look in her eyes that says:

“You’ve got enough to worry about – now let me handle the other side.”

George shakes his head and says: “Don’t be fooled.”

George is used to power – but now he doesn’t know what position he holds. Maggie walks in, speaking calmly: “I want things to go well for the family – and the pub is part of it.” But in her eyes is something bigger: power, planning, expansion. George watches Maggie walk past him, thinking: “Am I the owner or am I just the assistant behind the scenes?”
In a dark scene, George and Todd Grimshaw stand outside the pub – they see Maggie meeting a strange man in a private room. When the lights come on, Maggie turns around, looks at them: “Do you prioritize your personal life or your business?” The man is confused. George swallowed dryly: “She didn’t come to drink, she came to buy power.”

George began to investigate quietly: questionnaires with staff suddenly changed, bank records locked, Maggie appeared with the business card “M.D. Consulting”. He began to ask questions: who did Rovers belong to, after all? Maggie? Or was it still George’s?
This article is the perspective of an outsider – the person who held the central position before being displaced. George warned – and the audience should be wary too: not to get caught up in the new Rovers’ aura and forget the underlying change. Who is really in control? Maggie! And George is just an observer.
