Coronation Street spoilers<\/a> follow for today’s episode, which is available now on streaming, and tomorrow’s episode.<\/p>\n

Coronation Street’s Maggie Driscoll is planning a return to the Rovers after the chaos of Christmas last week. The soap saw Daniel Osbourne attacked by a mysterious assailant<\/a> \u2014 who was quickly revealed to be Will<\/a>, seething with jealous rage at Daniel’s blossoming relationship with Megan Walsh, who he is being groomed by<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the episodes airing across today and tomorrow, Maggie gets Will to put pressure on Ben to build bridges with her after all the arguing.<\/p>\n

Ben sees right through it and knows this is Maggie’s doing, but remains completely unaware that they are both hiding the secret of Daniel’s attack.<\/p>\n

Maggie goes on the charm offensive, saying that she was wrong to have a go at Ben’s other half Eva Price like she did.<\/p>\n

Later on, Maggie offers a heartfelt apology to Eva, and the Driscoll family decide if they can move forward with her around or not.<\/p>\n

Will Maggie be able to worm her way back into the Rovers, or will Ben and Eva stand strong and tell her she’s not welcome?<\/p>\n

It feels like the soap has laid the groundwork for some major storylines with Maggie going forward, as a flashback episode revealed<\/a> that her husband called her “manipulative” and “controlling”, and that she had an affair.<\/p>\n

During a heated argument, she pushed her husband down the stairs, which led to his death. Her son Finlay witnessed the moment, and we’ve tellingly not seen him in the present day.<\/p>\n

Wherever the storylines goes, it obvious that there’s plenty more drama to come from the Driscoll family.<\/p>\n

And of course, Coronation Street itself is gearing for its major Corriedale crossover episode<\/a> on 5 January, with both soaps dropping little references here and there.<\/p>\n

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
