If there is one thing the residents of Coronation Street<\/a> would be good to avoid, it\u2019s getting on the wrong side of newcomer Maggie Driscoll<\/a> (Pauline McLynn<\/a>).<\/p>\n The latest in a long line of matriarchs to stand behind the signature Newton and Ridley pumps, Maggie is right at home in her role, living up to the icons that came before her in barking orders, holding court and taking absolutely no nonsense from the staff \u2013 or the punters!<\/p>\n Her demeanour alone is reason enough not cross Maggie, who watches over her loved ones \u2013 and the locals \u2013 with an iron fist. However, getting barred and a few camp nasty jibes would be the least of anyone\u2019s worries<\/a> as Maggie is also a murderer<\/a>.<\/p>\n A special flashback episode at Christmas confirmed such a thing, revealing how she pushed husband Alan down the stairs<\/a> during a blazing row about her affair, accusing her of controlling and manipulative behaviour.\u00a0<\/p>\n This side of Maggie was on display once more when she reiterated to daughter-in-law Eva Price<\/a> (Catherine Tyldesley<\/a>) that it wouldn\u2019t be wise to cross her, given that she would do anything for her family \u2013 including \u2018laying down her life\u2019.<\/p>\n And Steve McDonald<\/a> (Simon Gregson<\/a>) could be next in line to face the wrath of the cold-blooded killer after he struck up a friendship with Rovers landlord Ben<\/a> (Aaron McCusker<\/a>).<\/p>\n Steve, as viewers know, is best mates with Tim Metcalfe<\/a> (Joe Duttine<\/a>) but the two\u2019s relationship hit the rocks earlier this week<\/a> when cab driver Steve hit it off with the new Rovers chief \u2013 discussing rugby, much to football fanatic Tim\u2019s dismay.<\/p>\n \t\t With Tim under the weather in Friday\u2019s (February 20) edition of the ITV soap, Steve once again frequented the Rovers for a game of darts and a chinwag with new bestie Ben. <\/p>\n Their budding bromance, however, seemed to antagonise Maggie as she glared at the two throughout the evening. Having had enough of their fun, she swiftly tried to break up the party, urging Steve to go home. <\/p>\n When Steve failed to do so and ordered another pint, Maggie in her capacity as landlady was forced to comply \u2013 but not before issuing another look of disdain towards the two.<\/p>\n \t\t But just why has she taken umbrage with Steve? Is she perhaps worried that he\u2019ll be a bad influence on Ben, who recently had a health scare? Is she worried that, in addition to Eva, she will also have to vie for her son\u2019s attention as well?<\/p>\n Whatever the reason is, it\u2019s safe to assume that Steve should keep one eye open because when Maggie has her sights on getting someone out of the picture, they\u2019re gone before they even have a chance to say: \u2018Pint of bitter please, love.\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tDon’t miss a Soaps scoop!
