Maggie Driscoll will plot another fightback against Megan Walsh on Coronation Street next week, though she’ll have a change of tactics this time around. Wanting the abuser to be brought to justice, Maggie continues the fight.
The ITV soap has explored an issue-based storyline in recent months, with Will Driscoll, Maggie’s grandson, being groomed by his athletics coach Megan. After weeks of secrecy, Megan’s crimes eventually came to light.
Though her true nature was exposed, Megan is yet to be formally charged with any crime, meaning that several Weatherfield residents will take matters into their own hands when it comes to justice.
In the Driscoll family itself, Ben has come under fire by Ollie, who has criticised him for not protecting Will. Ben is visibly stressed and is consoled by Eva Price, with the scene being previewed in a new clip.
In the teaser, which can be viewed below, Ben is abrupt with Eva upon his return home, and she tells him to not take his mood out on her. She also urges him to be kind to Ollie, as the whole family is in a difficult situation.
As Ben laments the fact that the police are yet to do anything, Maggie can be seen listening in on the conversation. As Ben leaves, Maggie makes her next move and implores Eva to confront Megan herself.
Eva says she didn’t want to go behind her partner’s back, though Maggie – who is no stranger to a touch of deceit – stresses that it was the “exact” thing to do. Eva looks torn, but it will soon become apparent that Maggie’s words have an effect.
