As Maggie Driscoll announces she's the new Rovers landlady, spoilers reveal she's the 'mother-in-law from hell'
Will Eva get to be landlady or not?
Maggie Driscoll made her mark in Coronation Street tonight (Monday, October 27) as she announced that she was the new pub landlady.
Eva had been looking forward to running the Rovers after Ben announced he’d bought the pub.
But, a major hiccup then saw Maggie arrive and put Eva in her place. And, the drama is set to follow Maggie wherever she goes.
Maggie’s arrival changed Eva’s plans in Coronation Street
Eva was thrilled when her husband Ben surprised her tonight, revealing that he’d bought the pub off Carla.
Seeing the Rovers as the upgrade from the Flying Horse, Eva started moving her things into the pub and made sure the punters had free flowing booze at hand.
There was a slight issue though. Glenda revealed that Ben hadn’t actually paid for the pub yet meaning that they didn’t own it after all.
Ben told a furious Eva that he hadn’t actually had chance to find the money, getting carried away in the whirlwind of it all.
Upset, Eva believed that her dreams of running the pub were over and started thinking about heading back to Hull.
Ben then managed to salvage the situation though by revealing that he’d just secured the sale and had sourced the money to buy the pub.
Staging a lock in, Eva was chuffed that the pub was ‘really hers.’ But, then Ben’s mum Maggie arrived and revealed that she was in fact the new Rovers landlady as Ben had used her money to buy the pub.
Coronation Street spoilers reveal what’s next for ‘mother-in-law for hell’ Maggie Driscoll
Catherine Tyldesley recent revealed that Maggie is the ‘mother-in-law from hell’ for Eva. Speaking to the Mirror, she said: “There are so many twists and turns with the Driscolls. The mother-in-law from hell feels like a harsh title but I don’t think I am far off.
“The constant swipes at each other, and Ben is very much stuck in the middle. Things do start to come to a head and he has to make that decision of whose side are you on here. They both get frustrated with him.”
And, in Coronation Street spoilers for the rest of the week, Maggie takes charge by telling the Rovers staff that while Eva might be landlady, she’s the one who is ultimately in charge… This leaves the staff a tad confused.
Later on, Maggie starts to become suspicious of Eva when she sees her interact with ex Adam Barlow. She soon wonders how many skeletons Eva has in her closet. But, should Eva be worried about Maggie’s interference?
